Rhyolite

Happyland Studio Fragrances Rhyolite, briefly known as an Untitled fragrance before adopting its name eventual name, is the very sweetest fragrance in the current Happyland catalogue, nearly a straight-on gourmand with a big smell but neat nuances. To me, Rhyolite is reminiscent of several other fragrances, all of which include oud, though Rhyolite does not—namely, ScentStory 24 Gold, Lattafa Raghba, and Arabian Oud Kalemat. I might just imagine the oud somewhat in Rhyolite as I do in the other fragrances, but even if it were listed, it would clearly be less a part of Rhyolite, pretty much wholly a gourmand, than the others, more oud- and resin-focused. The note listing on the website is honey, almond, vanilla, blueberry, sandalwood, caramel, and white musk, though Fragrantica does different slightly from the website, and lists notes of guaiac and licorice. I far more detect the breakdown listed on the website, myself. To my nose, it’s primarily a creamy, sweet honey-centric with very slight fruity and spicy touches, a fun barrage of various dessert elements while not smelling strongly of any specific food or dessert item, save honey, itself. It’s delicious without being totally gourmand, sweet yet highly wearable, an easy option to cut through the cold but not too overwhelming in warmer weather, I expect. I liken it, albeit crudely, to Happyland Signature but without the tobacco, a more gourmand fragrance overall without the tobacco. I give Happyland Signature the edge over Rhyolite because I personally like tobacco in fragrances, but I imagine that many do not, and some, like me, simply prefer to have both options, so Rhyolite, while not being one of my very favorites, is still on my list to nab a couple bottles of. Like the other Happyland entries that I know and love, Rhyolite performs very well, maybe not quite as well as Happyland Signature or Se7en, but it’s still quite strong, overall. Available at the standard pricing of $50 for 50ml and $35 for 30ml, it’s a great deal, though it can be sampled affordably as well on the website, either individually or with a sample pack of 5ml decants of all currently available fragrances (now 11) for $45, a terrific sampling deal. Who else digs this one? It seems to be one of Happyland’s most popular fragrances, if I had to guess, based on how often it seems to be discussed. 8 out of 10

This is Happyland's take on a kalemat style fragrance. Sticky honey paired with buttery caramel and a pinch of tart blueberry with spicy sandalwood and something that is coming off resinous to my nose. Perhaps incense. Performance is great, like all Happyland fragrances. I get around 9 hours with this one. Some person said this is a skin scent in 20 minutes. I don't see how that is possible. I get 2 hours of projection with it. Don't be fooled by the notes or reviews. This is not a gourmand. This is an oriental fragrance. It's a simply beautiful take on a kalemat and its popularity is rising for good reason.

I agree with @mnadz partially. This does have that blueberry note found in bleeker st. But added with some honey and smooth smooth wood smell. Italica has like a milk accord that’s not found in here and an airfeshener-esk type vibe to it Imagine raghba with an added berry Scent~ 9.9 Projection~9.9 Sillage~ ridiculous Price~ 8.5 This is honestly signature scent worthy. It just smells like "you" if that makes sense

Performance is above average, if looking for beastmode performance I'd recommend "Homme for the holidays" which is also much more full bodied for Fall and Winter. This Fragrance Rhyolite also smells somewhat similar to 24 Gold by scent story with a warm blueberry twist. Good fragrance for the price.

This is a room filling beast. My favorite from the house. PDM Oajan smell similar but that don't project or last long at all. This projects for hours and you can smell it 12 plus hours later. I would say it is nuclear performance like Mancera Red Tobacco is.
