Nocturno

Bought this early Nov 2025. I let it macerate for more than a month and it became rounder and smoother which is great ofc. I smelled it then thought of sauvage edt initially but later on it does its own thing. My father disagreed that it's nearly sauvage (sauvage and aventus are his signature scents). For me, this fragrance is great because of its price. If you don't care about any brands for a perfume and want to smell manly, fresh and great then this is a nice fragrance to use. It is very versatile and can be used at office, gym and errands. Rayhaan ate with this one in my humble opinion. The only Rayhaan I didn't like (but my father loved this one) is Imperia Legacy haha. Some say it clones ysl kouros.

Ordered this from UK before the tarrifs kicked in, glad I did because it's not available in the US. I will say, it isn't worth more than 50 usd. This is solid for a typical blue fragrance, it's well blended and very versatile, great for day/night and all season. Best way to describe the scent profile is a cross between suavage and bdc. Blind buy safe, would recommend to anyone looking for a fresh and clean daily driver. If you live in the US like me and can't find nocturne for a fair price, an alternative is Afnan's historic omleda. It's another blue fragrance that's inoffensive, easy to wear and a solid daily driver.

I bought Nocturno a month ago and sprayed it about 5–8 times before leaving it to macerate. I didn’t use it again until yesterday. I sprayed it three times (twice on my neck and once on my back) before going out. After about eight hours, I met a friend who was standing a few feet away from me, and he asked, “What are you wearing? That smells so good.” That’s when I realized it was still performing like a charm. The maceration was definitely a success, not gonna lie. To me, the scent smells more like Sauvage EDP because it’s much smoother. It's a versatile blue fragrance overall.

This is what I was hoping for. A nicely done low price blue fragrance. Sauvage EDP just not as strong. I love the bottle design. This isn’t going to wow anyone but it’s better than a lot of the more basic designer blue scents you can get at the price $30 usd. I will give the slight edge on scent to CDN urban man elixir. That one is a little stronger and a little more fresh. But I really don’t like the CDN bottles as much. If you like Sauvage, BDC or Dylan Blue you will like this. 8/10 for me.

Opening: Freshie. I didn’t sniff BDC. So don’t know if it’s similar or not. But it's undoubtedly good. The fresh smell lasts for about 30 minutes-1 hour Dry down: Powdery pleasing smell. 90% simillar to Dior Sauvage. Didn't get the rest 10% because sauvage is a bit more smooth. But nocturno is also smooth enough. It's been 7 hours since i sprayed only once in my wrist and it’s still there. Final verdict: Value for money. Get this freshie, don’t be late.

When I first sprayed this thing I said "WOW" for two reasons: beautiful smell and great atomizer. It hits you with a zesty and spicy citrus smell that slowly transitions into an earthy and resinous smell on your skin. There is no doubt here - this is an aromatic take on Dior Sauvage EDP. A good one at that.

Update here: This stuff is eternal. Stayed on me above 12hrs. People from the gym smelled and complimented me with 5-7sprays. Im not an influencer or anything to glaze Nocturno. Maybe I got a good batch (U252051). Production date: 07/2025. Rayhaan did it again!

Easy to wear blue body wash scent with some spice. Smells like Sauvage EDT to me with a little bit of Bleu. Very versatile scent that you can wear almost anywhere and smell good

Without a doubt this is a 1:1 dupe of Dior Sauvage EDP no need to buy Dior when you got rayhaan nocturno. Like literally I can’t tell a difference, BLIND BUY SAFE

This is the best clone of Sauvage I have ever met. It is 90% Dior sauvage+ 10% bleu de chanel. it is Excellent. Unfortunatelly lonegevity is max 4-5 hours.

very smooth, this is definitely sauvage EDP dupe, good longevity but project moderately. mass appealing cant go wrong with this one

Just the most basic dumb reach fragrance. You cant go wrong with this. Good price. Redundant to buy the original.

Great dupe of Sauvage EDT. Performance could be better. Solid fragrance.

If u also spray on clothes, this thing lasts forever and projects a lot!

This is too good for the price...5/6 hours on skin

The baby of Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel. I like this one. It’s very wearable and versatile, with Sauvage being more prominent than BDC. I’ve worn this to the office about 5 times now and haven’t got a single compliment. Not that it matters much to me. I like it anyway and will keep wearing it but still,,,, Why no compliments? Doesn’t make sense. This DNA shouldn’t go wrong. Very strange..

definitely leans closer to sauvage, but in the dry down has a sort of smoothness and powdery-ness that you don't get with sauvage clones. on the opening, its very close to that sauvage dna though. wasn't impressed initially but liking it more and more as this dries down.

This just came In the mail. First impression: smells just like Sauvage! Very good smell but as another review stated, it doesn’t have that ‘sparkle’. Regardless, it still has that designer smell to it! Very good everyday driver & blind buy worthy especially for the price

It's a great fragrance for the price, but it has a very harsh opening, and no, it's not citrusy like cdnim, rather peppery, I guess, but if you can bear it for the first 10 minutes or so, the scent lasts almost all day.

Smells like another dupe of sauvage(cdn intense man elixir) fresh and spicy. Versatile scent with good longevity and performance is ok(not beast mode). Overall a nice fragrance for everyday wear. Highly recommended

Clearly a dupe of Sauvage EDT, actually a really good one. Fresh, peppery citruses and lavender on an amber base. Good projection and decent lasting power for a freshie. Has nothing to do with BDC.

Not sure that I'd say it's quite Sauvage but it definitely has that Blue aura to it. Fresh and spicy right off the bat. Only downside is it can at times give off cleaning products vibes. 7/10

The opening is straight up Sauvage, for me I like the drydown more where it's BDC mixed with that... Sauvage is not a bad fragrance but I really don't like it.

Dior sauvage edt + bleu de chanel mintyness in the opening, sauvage edp in the drydown. For the price, it's ok, but doesn't have the ✨sparkle✨ .

My one need maseration. Bt still i love it.

Just another average Sauvage dupe, quite metallic & harsh, not a 1on1 as some suggest but 80-90% to my nose. It settles down better after what is a terrible harsh opening for the first 10-15 mins, then becomes more like a mix of Sauvage EDT+EDP with possibly a smidgeon of BDC. Nothing remarkable, more of a miss than a hit for me if I’m honest. If you’re after a dupe of Sauvage I’d still take French Avenue Zenith Blue over this tbh.

Unfortunately, this doesn't really do it for me; it's a very blue body wash smell and that's pretty much it. If you want to smell clean and like body wash, it's great, but I wouldn't expect it to pull any compliments.

Sauvage EDT not EDP, disappointing .

This cologne is great for everyday wear! The only thing is, I’m not a fan of Dior DNA—it just doesn’t quite hit the mark for me. It might be perfect for someone else, but not for me. Do I like it? Me Would I wear it? Probably Does it last? 5 hours Did it blow me away? No Safe blind purchace? No Worth the price? No Is it unique? No Overall rating: 5/10

Very cheap and synthetic. Shaving foam like mentioned before, or even mouth wash tbh. Funny people shit on Sauvage EDT claiming it smells cheap, but it is something no clone company has ever really been able to nail. Despite it being "in your face aroma chemicals" it still has Dior/Demachy quality that can't be captured by these companies.

It brings out the scent of Dior Savage DNA well. But it smells too Bareber Shop for me. It smells too much like shaving foam. Overall, the scent is not bad. The opening is strong and subtle, but it fades quickly, and the shaving foam scent lingers for a long time. Overall for me: 10/6

Cloning Sauvage in 2025 its ridiculous.

i brought this and it smells ok similar to cdn urban man but way less peppery in the middle of savuage edt and edp but the really major thing is it has very bad projection like i sprayed 20 of it on my clothes and arms and i can barely smell it 30 mins later imma let it sit in a dark room for a couple weeks and do a update and trust me this thing does not project for anything its really buy this if u want a skin scent that goes away in 40 mins update it did not inprove rayhaan is really bad i have the french ave blue one and its way better i let them both sit the rayhaan one is terrrible it doesnt project after 40 mins the french ave one is the best doir savage dupe

Fragrantica can we add a page for the new Nocturno Elixir please. It's Rayhaan's take on Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif and it's SO good. It opens up with the typical BDC DNA but then develops into a deep, rich, sweet, woody fragrance. Definitely a more mature take on BDC, but Rayhaan's version of L'Exclusif is excellent and has impressive sillage and longevity.👌🔥 (currently available in the UK at Beautybase)

Its the same as Sauvage HOWEVER it is a lot more airy and lighter. It doesn't pack a punch like its inspiration. Sauvage used to fills rooms and you could smell it far away - This does not provide that. Maybe for some that is a bonus? However for the price it is amazing, the magnetic cap is a nice touch. No one can tell the difference unless you are a connoisseur.

If you’re in the market for Dior Sauvage but are looking for a cheaper alternative look no further. Those who say it has similarities to BDC forget it, Sauvage is in your face fresh-spicy, BDC has no spice what so ever. BDC being fresh-citrusy with musky soft woods. Nocturno is a fresh-spicy blue fragrance, great for the money, Overall 8/10.

Purchased this on sale after reading some positive reviews, but it smells like lavender scented toilet cleaner, perhaps it needs to macerate? ...

If anyone has zenith blue and noctruno by rayhaan, please dm me and let me know how they compare and what better please.
