Obsidian

Only got this in today. €43 including €8 shipping. I have never smelled Dior Homme Parfum (original), but have multiple samples of both DHP 2025 and JPG Le Male Parfum. I also own Prada L'Homme Intense which would also serve the same purpose but it is different and I might prefer Obsidian's opening at least I am not doing a side by side comparison here as I am just wearing it today as my scent of the day. I will say, it is nice and it is in the wheel house of DHP 2025 and LeMale Le Parfum serves the same purpose. And both of those were on my wishlist so gave this a try. Opening is lovely. Citrusy, buttery Iris but only lasts an hour before settling into what I suppose is leather going by the notes as I could not tell as the opening is faded and blends well into the mid at which point it is no longer really projecting 1-1.5 hours. At the 4 hour mark it has the JPG and DHP25 dry down. *Edit* Spayed on at 8am, and I've been really cold all day (it is a cold day) so it was not projecting that much past the opening, but I worked out at 5pm, and it was pumping off me. It is a long lasting fragrance for sure *End Edit* I think it is a good buy. But it should be cheaper as it is a clone. You can pick JPG Le Male for €50-€60 and it is not a clone. But overall straight out of the box with no mastication I like this a lot . to be continued. I only just received it so will let it masticate. Got a few clones in a haul (my first ever clones) and this was the best one but not given them time yet to masticate yet. FYI out of curiosity I did a two spay on each hand of Le Male Parfum and Obsidian on the other hand not that alike. Similar in vibe and mid a bit I prefer this over Prada L'Homme Intense or JPG Le Male Le Parfum *Edit* Recently got a large 15ml free sample of Armani Code EDP and the dry down of Obsidian is Armani Code EDP

Legit dior homme yk why? Because my uncle bought it for me and I came just from sephora and I smelled it and suddenly I was like "hollon this smells like smth I sprayed at sephora but I cant pin point" and I realise its legit dior homme like dude its actually so good 10/10 BUT this is not a fragrance for those with sensitive skin and I kid you not it felt like I poured acid on my neck I just couldn't bare it please don't spray on neck edit: i change my opinion 2 weeks of maceration it smells so bad but ima let it rest for 1-2 months and if it doesent improve aint buying another rayhaan fragrance again i have italia on my wishlist rn but im removing if it doesent improve.. edit: I understand rayhaan fragrances now especially Obsidian so its gonna be polarising in the start maximum 6 sprays is only needed and also beautiful iris and leather along with that texture coming from the powderiness its honestly really good but you have to be patient for the dry down its not as medicinal or anything but its potent and it smells ok now honestly its just really good smelling and projecting so don't wear this in tight spaces cuz my parents got a blast of this after I used it while coming from tution which means it isn't tight space friendly and also its a really good date night scent for the winter and just use it maybe for winter daily scent if u don't wanna smell like khamrah like everyone else it might not be as mass appealing as khamrah or Liquid brun but its definitely a really good scent people will like and love so get this its absolutely beautiful and yes im gonna get rayhaan italia cuz I understand how they work

Obsidian di Rayhaan: Un capolavoro "low cost" ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟 Per chi ama la linea Dior Homme, Obsidian è una scoperta che lascia a bocca aperta. Si posiziona in quel magico limbo olfattivo che unisce la maestosità e la densità di Dior Homme Parfum alla sensualità più avvolgente e portabile di Dior Homme Intense. La somiglianza è impressionante, siamo oltre il 95%, ma con una sua precisa identità e una qualità che va ben oltre il suo prezzo di listino. Apertura: Il profumo esordisce in modo magnetico. L'iris è il protagonista assoluto, inizialmente talcato e ripulito da una leggerissima sferzata agrumata che ne smussa gli spigoli. Non è affatto pungente, anzi, risulta subito elegante, pulito e lussuoso. Cuore: Nel giro di poco tempo la fragranza si scalda ed emerge la nota di cuoio. È un cuoio morbido, vellutato e quasi dolce, che non "mena" in testa ma avvolge. È proprio qui che si sente il richiamo forte al filone del Parfum, mantenendo però quella cremosità tipica dell'Intense. Drydown: Il fondo è una vera goduria che dura per ore. I legni, tra cui il cedro e un tocco accennato di oud, si uniscono alla dolcezza pulita dei semi di ambretta e del sandalo. Sulla pelle e sui vestiti rimane un sentore persistente, elegante, mascolino e incredibilmente affascinante, che attira continui complimenti. Prestazioni: Sulla mia pelle, che di solito assorbe i profumi nel giro di mezz'ora, fa miracoli, superando tranquillamente le 8 ore di longevità con una scia intensa e percepibile, senza mai stancare. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è semplicemente imbattibile. Se amate questo genere, è un blind buy obbligatorio. Voto 9 ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌟

Very gorgeous. I picked this up at Burlington for 35$ and tested it quickly after I bought it. Upon first spray, I completely understand what others mean when they say it smells like Le Male Le Parfum, but after an hour, it transformed into something different. The perfume evolved into a dusty iris with ambers and woody notes in the background, similar to Le Male Le Parfum, yet completely different. The day after I first tried it, I gave it another go, and no Le Male was detected. For some reason, on the first spray, all I could smell was Le Male, but the fragrance changed overnight into Dior Homme Parfum 2025. Luckily, there was an Ulta close by, so I also went over and did a side-by-side of Homme Parfum and Obsidian, and I could tell the difference immediately, but I actually enjoyed Obsidian a lot more. Homme Parfum had a weird, sweaty note, similar to cumin, and Obsidian does not have that; instead, Obsidian is very smooth and has a background of woodsy notes and light spices, with a very strong iris evoking class; no cumin detected here, luckily. The dry down of Homme Parfum and Obsidian is almost identical, and I actually could not tell them apart. For 35$, this may be one of the best blind buys I have ever purchased, and I am incredibly happy. Whatever hype this is obtaining on social media is 100% deserved.

🔥🔥🔥 on first spray. Zero maturation time, and it already smells good. It smells nothing like Lion, UltraMale, or Le Male Parfum, as some people are stating, so either they got a bad batch or their olfactory system needs a reset. It may live in a similar class of scents that I can agree on. But it's not the same, it's very different. The leather, citrus, woods, and Iris are very clearly present, and this is straight out of the box on day one. We all know Rayhaan fragrances get better with time to mature and a bit of oxygen in the bottle. Can't wait to see how much more it develops and improves with a few weeks on the shelf. I will update with performance, projection, etc., when I have worn it for a few weeks. I love Iris fragrances, so that should be noted, but not really the overly floral ones like Prada L’Homme. While I respect and see why it's so popular, it's just too floral and feminine for my tastes. Rayhaan Obsidian is masculine, dark, and sexy 💯🔥🖤 glad I didn't listen to all the Ultra Male comments I almost didn't buy because of them, and would have missed out.
