Lion

Rayhaan Lion : The beast Recently got mine Rayhaan Lion, and I’m fking loving it. The fact that it was a blind buy makes it even better. I was looking for something I could wear in both summer and winter. And this surely fits there. Even though it’s more on the sweeter side rather than being a freshy, it still gives off a perfectly sophisticated and pleasing vibe on summer days. Performance: It traveled a long way before reaching me!! When I finally opened the sealed box at our dining table, my mother was doing some chores nearby. The moment I sprayed it for the first time, the room instantly filled with the scent. She turned around, smiled, and said, “Hmm, nice smell. How much was it?!” The next day, I had a long train journey, so I sprayed 5–6 times (2 on my shirt). Two days later, when I picked up that shirt lying in the corner, I could still smell the fragrance without even sniffing for it. It just came naturally, and it felt amazing (especially since I usually dislike the smell of worn clothes). I might let it macerate a bit since it’s been traveling for weeks, but nonetheless, this is going to be my signature scent for now.

Needs a bit of maceration to get the most out of it. By projection, longevity and smothness of fregnance. Great bottle, cap, and atomizer. I've been a fan of Ultra Male since it came out. Lion is slightly different from the OG(Like all "clones") sweeter and with a lot more pear note. It projects better because of that. When i did comparison between them after maceration. OG became a skin scent after 4h while Lion was still projecting quite strong. The only other slight difference is that you can't smell any citrus (probably because of how much pear and sweetness Lion has). JPG has that slightly lemon background which is listed in the note breakdown, but not in Lion. Overall, the pear kills most of the complexity of this fragrance. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great one and has the same DNA, and after few hours in dry down is nearly identical like JPG atrr first hour after spray. I'm not expecting a man in his 40s to wear this. Party, dating, very naughty fragrance. Half price per ml compared to JPG Ultra Male. (UK) Which is one of the cheaper designers. If you like the DNA, you can decide which one is more worthy your money.

I absolutely love this, and I'm 44, a very confident guy and this suits my personality down to a T in the colder evenings. My go to frags are typically popular designers, Y EDP, BDC, Cedrat Boise, SWYA for example, and after a trip to Dubai in January I have jumped all over Rayhaan, Almaf, Rasasi and Lattafa. Right now, on one hand I have ULTRA male, the other Lion, and Lion is better in every way! Lion holds onto the tangy pear longer, performs better and JPG is no slouch, it's crazy! I'm in NE England, so it's never super warm in the evenings, you could easily wear this all year round, but only in the evening, certainly autumn and winter, day and night, perfect under 15*c. Sure it's loud, it's strong, it's obnoxious.....who cares? It's excellent for under £30, definitely a blind buy and definitely worth having another bottle. Don't worry about the cons above! You will be noticed, you will smell good, you will get compliments, albeit, you may gas people out, but who cares🤣 Be the loudest in the room, be seen, don't be weak and sissy spray....be a Lion!!!!!!

This is another one where I have to say. Give it a week. When I first got this in and sprayed it on, it was sharp, headache inducing and cloying. But after about a week it had once again changed. It was smoother and just a complete mind blower for me. Off the top I could actually smell that beautiful pear and minty freshness that instantly had some light vanilla behind it. As it dries down you definitely get more of that vanilla to come out and the pear just adds a beautiful touch of fruity sweetness. The cedar and patchouli come out at around the 3 hour mark and really make this an amazing fragrance to me. Definitely a must own if you like that sweet, fresh and loud scent profile. In terms of longevity this is easily a beast mode scent. I get strong projection for about 8-9 hours with it being a skin scent until the next day honestly. Definitely one that those that if you are bold enough to try and wear this to the office or school, keep it under 3 sprays and keep it under clothes or else any and everyone will smell you.

I’ve used around 110ml of my 125ml bottle of ultramale, original batch from when it first came out. I’m very familiar with that fragrance. I would take Lion over that 10 times out of 10. It’s sooo close but there’s a tiny difference that I can’t pin point, (but I can tell this is not quite 100% exact, maybe 99.5%). Nonetheless whatever that difference is make me prefer Lion on scent. I can’t compare performance yet because I’ve only worn lion twice, it is very very strong and long lasting, but my bottle of ultra male is an absolute nuclear beast. First time wearing lion I was on the fence, it had a sharp soapiness that made it smell like ultra male mixed with something like D&G K EDP. But that has gone on this second wearing (maybe it’s maceration). And now it is unreal how sexy this smells. It’s like ultra male but a fraction more dense, rich and full. The hype is more than deserved on this one. £31.50 in UK for 100ml is a bargain, especially considering the beautiful bottle and magnetic cap. Highly ADDICTIVE!
