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.

Its this creamy-leather Iris scent. It makes you smell refined and elegant. The opening is a sweet, creamy and bit nutty leather, well counterbalanced by the Iris. Again, the iris makes it elegant, the leather makes it grown up. After 2 hours the dry-down is a lot more fresh and sparkly: with the leather being replaced by woods and this minty note coming out along the Iris. If the opening is not for everyone the dry-down is the compliment getter. It has decent projection, and performance, nothing crazy. With that said don't overspray it! Leather can be harsh on other people's nose 4-5 sprays tops. It projects for like 7h, then it remains as skin scent for like 10-12h. By itself, it is a fragrance for cold weather. But with that minty-iris-woody drydown it can be an all year around fragrance. Like even in the summer if you keep it down with the sprays. Scent (5/5) - Just fucking beautiful. Performance (4/5) - Not a room filler, but it gets you noticed Longevity (4/5) - Could be better, but 7 hours is enough. Price (5/5) - For $50, come on.

My first Rayhaan, a blind buy, and it is potent ! 2 sprays on each side of the neck, and I had to move away from the area where I sprayed so I don't get overwhelmed. I really don't care how close a clone is to a particular fragrance, I just check out what the original is to make sure it's masculine, never feminine-leaning, and with a richer, deeper character, not light summery vibes. This Obsidian definitely meets that. I am not so critical of fragrance top notes as these disappear quickly anyway, but here, the top starts with a dark iris note but stays until drydown. The heart is still iris and a leather note. The fragrance base is supposed to be "Oud, Ambrette, Sandalwood, Cedarwood", and I don't smell any of those wood as I would individually, so I guess the scent is a blend of those 3 wood and the ambrette musk, plus the leather. It lasted 6-7 hrs on my skin, in my humid weather, but the leather stays for 8hrs +, and this is what I am not a fan of near the end of the drydown. At the very end is the long-lasting molecule ambroxan.

One day I went clothing shopping and walked past the perfume section, deciding to smell a few fragrances. Suddenly, I found myself standing in front of the Dior Sauvage advertisement with Johnny Depp. The first Dior fragrance I ever had the pleasure of smelling was Dior Homme Intense. In that moment, I was in another dimension — time stood still, and all that filled my mind was that scent. I knew immediately that I had to own a bottle. My heart shattered when I saw the price of a 50 ml bottle. From that day on, I became a fragrance snob without ever owning the fragrance I truly longed for. That was back in 2016. Now, in 2026, I experienced that exact same feeling all over again after smelling this beautiful fragrance — Rayhaan Obsidian. That same moment where time slows down and a scent completely takes over your senses. Rayhaan Obsidian didn’t just smell good — it brought back a memory, a feeling, and reminded me why I fell in love with fragrances in the first place

I just bought this for £23, which is an absolute steal. It opens with a burst of iris, leather, and some citrus. Just one spray on my hand, and I could immediately smell it in the air so I’d say the projection is pretty good. The citrus is a bit odd here, as I’ve noticed this pattern with a lot of dupes. It smells slightly synthetic and out of place. I hope it tones down after a few weeks. I have DHI, and the only similarity is the iris. DHI is warmer and sweeter, while this leans more fresh because of the citrus and the and it also has some leather. Luckily, I don’t get any oud here. But somehow, I pick up a kind of soup-like scent. I’m not sure where it’s coming from (maybe a skin reaction?) but It’s not overpowering, and I only notice it when I smell my skin up close. It’s versatile enough for day or night and suits all weather types. Overall, it’s a great choice for a signature scent.

This is litterally a HIDDEN GEM, S tier value for money, i hope people don't find this😂. Mine is 6 months maturate/macerate. Tested in AC room and outdoor (tropical country), in AC room creates smooth scent bubble, can still smell a strong whiff even after 14 hours. In hot outdoor the scent is sort of breaking/not that smooth, but still a nice scent and not cloying imo, and the longevity & projection is mid. So this is best to use in AC room for people who lives in tropical country. The DNA it self is crazy good: mass pleasing & professional office vibes. I never smell the og DNA which is DHP, but i have Afnan 9 PM which is the same DNA but the difference is CRAZY. Rayhaan Obsidian is just superior in all aspect, it doesn't smell cheap at all for a price almost the same with 9 PM. This one can be included in "If i only have 1 fragrance for life" list.

Just got it. Pretty sure it would perform better upon maturation. Smells like airy powdery sweet iris, smoothed out by creamy sandalwood & ambrette. The leather is there, bringing a dark vibe. The drydown is somewhat off for me as it smells bubblegummy like JPG Ultramale, also reminds me of a local liniment in my country. EDIT: I don't know if it just needs maturation but I don't get any hints of citrus in the top notes/first few minutes. EDIT 2: People have said that the bubblegum smell fades upon maturation/rest, hopefully it would as the drydown smells like JPG Ultramale. The people who have told (including me) that it smells like Ultramale probably didn't rest it enough As an man that enjoys iris, I'd rank this scent profile as 3rd on my faves 1) Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee 2) Dior Homme Intense 3) Rayhaan Obsidian (Dior Homme Parfum)

This is a beautiful twist of Dior Homme Parfum. Of course, it has some similarity to DHI, but it has DHP's softness and sweetness, which makes it more wearable for some. Sweet iris, some leather to add a bit more masculinity, and ambrette in the dry-down, which makes it a bit different from straight-up DHP. I think Obsidian's profile makes it a good candidate to layer with other frags. My FAVORITE layer with Obsidian is Armaf's Ombre d'Or (which is a clone/twist of MP Crystal Saffron). It gives Obsidian's sweet iris profile a huge airy, slightly metallic lift. Think of the most attractive dry cleaning you've ever smelled. The combo is equally good on skin or clothes. This combo got me a few compliments (unsolicited), and I was surprised since the Ombre d'Or/Crystal Saffron/Ganymede DNA is fairly polarizing. Hope you enjoy!

First off, what your wondering"Is this a clone of DHP 14 or 20?" No it is not. It is more of a hybrid, combining elements from the original formula of the Parfum with a base of the new Dior Homme Parfum 25. Now, as a standalone fragrantica I find this juice is phenomenal. I get great performance, even off my dry skin which normally sucks down fragrance in a few hours, this stuff lasts a full workday and then some. It also smells wonderful, like a mix of hints the Parfum with a strong simlarity to Le Male Le Parfum or Armani Code Parfum in the dry down. I wasn't even disappointed about it not smelling like DHP 14 or 20. It really smells that good. This would be perfect for a date night or evening out with the misses as it's sensual yet sophisticated. Overall 9.75 out of 10 this might be my new favorite cheapie.

This is Rayhaan's take on Dior's 2025 Parfum, which was a highly polarizing fragrance for people who loved Dior Homme Intense and the previous Parfum iteration from 2014. If you like the 2025 version of Dior Homme Parfum, then you may as well pick up Rayhaan Obsidian. This is a 1:1 match, at least 95% close to Dior's formulation. Personally, I like the 2025 Dior Homme Parfum far more than Dior Homme Intense. This is not blind buy safe if you don't already know what DHP smells like, but if you do, then it's a no-brainer. Spending over $150 on a 50ml bottle of DHP when Rayhaan Obsidian exists would be completely foolish. The performance on this is extremely loud, lasts a very long time on skin, and lasts for days on clothing. The quality of both the leather and iris notes are excellent.

I'm into powdery iris note so I blind bought this. All the things they said is true. This is not a clone of Dior Homme Intense or Valentino Uomo Intense. I never smell Dior Homme Parfum 2025 so can't say about it. To my nose, this is Ultra Male plus iris on top (that lipstick, makeup bag feeling). Not exactly what I wanted but I'm happy with my purchase. As a standalone perfume, Obsidian is very good powdery, sweet, amber scent. It's also well made for a Middle East perfume. Performance is above average. Not beast mode like JPG but enough for me in the first few hours. This type of scent can be cloying so no need for that. If you like Le Male La Parfum, Ultra Male or into powdery sweet scents, this is a safe blind buy. 30$ well spent. Just avoid hot days.

Rayhan Obsidian surprised me. When I first got it, the opening was very close to Dior Homme Intense — that smooth lipstick/iris vibe right away. As it dried down, it started reminding me of JPG Ultra Male, especially with that sweeter, playful undertone coming through. After letting it sit for a while (maceration definitely helped), that “DHI-style” opening blended deeper into the base and the whole scent became more unified. Now it wears like something in-between Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum — darker, richer, and smoother than it was at first, but still very wearable. Performance is strong: long-lasting with solid projection. Overall it feels like a lighter, more everyday-wear version of DHP/DHI DNA, without being too heavy or mature.

Oooh weee fresh out the bottle at first all I smelled was iris and I hate iris strong colognes and was thinking dang it. Then about 15 minutes later it’s dried down the scent completely changed and smells dead on like Dior homme. I smell a mix of everything mentioned and it’s blended just right smells super amazing and it’s projecting like crazy still after 2 hours. Still smelling it perfectly zero nose blindness. Wow rayhaan is so underrated makes no sense how people hate on this definitely not normal lol. Rayhaan terra perfect clone of outlands now this obsidian perfect clone of Dior homme intense wow it even smells like it’s got expensive products so insane.

Rayhaan obsidian is worth the hype and deserves all the glazing it's getting for once. It's a sweet iris fragrance with a rich, modern character that feels more like a twist on Dior Homme Parfum 2025 than a straight clone. The iris in this is waxy and sweet, backed by a dark, elegant depth that makes it stand out quite alot. For the price, it's one of the best clone/twist releases I've smelled this year and it is an easy recommendation for iris lovers. For me it is an 9.2/10 and i also think it has a lovely sillage and longevity around 3 hours of strong projection and then it becomes more of a scent bubble about arms length for the rest of the day/night.

It’s the perfect blend of Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum 2025! (Right off the bat, I’d say DHP 2025 feels more like a 'Plus' or 'Pro' version of DHI. If you're hesitant because of the mixed reviews the 2025 Parfum received, don't be—this is truly a high-end, upgraded take on the Intense DNA). It’s packed with iris, and we’re talking about absolute top-tier quality iris here. It screams luxury! If you have any doubts, set them aside; based on my own tests and feedback from friends, the two scents are virtually indistinguishable. Longevity is elite, lasting well over 12 hours, while the projection stays just a bit beyond arm's length.

This perfume has been sitting on my shelf for over a few months now. When I first got it, I remember it was absolutely unpleasant. it smelled like a citrusy-soapy iris perfume in the worst possible way. But now it smells absolutely amazing. The soapiness has faded, the citrusy opening has toned down, and the leather has stepped into the spotlight alongside a beautiful iris note. I'm really surprised by this significant transformation after just a few months. I have an old batch of DHI, which I love, and I've tried DHP 2025. In my opinion, Obsidian is better than both. This is a 10/10 perfume.

This dupe of Dior Homme Parfum captures the scent profile of what has been described as blend of the 2014 batch and 2025 batches. Dark, leathery, powdery waxy iris with a chocolate twist. It will absolutely shine in cool weather evenings, but something I didn't want to put off wearing until then. It feels extremely luxurious and much more expensive than it was and will keep developing nuance as it matures. I realize this can never replace silver cap DHP, but it offers a fantastic wearing experience for those wanting something in-between 2014-2025 while also saving a fist full of cash.

Just sprayed for the first time , in love with iris as a note in perfumery... After 5 minutes start to notice some resemblance with one other juice I had in my collection... So distinctive, but couldn't pinpoint which one... Then I strated reading older comments, and ther it was : Lattafa Ramz Silver aka JPG Ultramale dupe 😂😂😂 ... Somewhere in the base I can find huge resemblance, but this is much more quality blend... Should be long lasting, my skin doesn't eat juice a lot and I am not sissy sprayer tbh ... Will be ready for using next fall and winter, no doubt it will be flawless.

As the earlier comments this is not the old DHP as all the influencers says. This is the new DHP but with a little twist, got that ultra male feeling in it but still a beautiful iris scent. I love the perfume it stays on me the whole day, smells amazing and worth the price! If you like these sweet iris scents go for it. I never recommend blind buying but if you like the new DHP you will like this one also! Smell 8.5/10 Longevity 8/10 Projection 7/10 Sillage 7/10 Price if you can get it for around 40$ it is totally worth it! Compliments? Yeah absolutely!

🤯 What just happened? 1. I am not a fan of iris or leather notes in fragrances. I don't hate iris and leather, but they're not notes that draw me in. So when I listened to social media reviews on Obsidian I didn't think too much of them. 2. The reviews of this was so loud that I tested my nose on the Dior Hommes while in a department store, and I liked them. 3. I pulled the trigger, I purchased Obsidian, and now I get it. It is amazing! Closing words - It not always about the notes individually. It's how they the notes play together like an orchestra.

After my blind buy and traumatic relationship with FOMO's "Gary's Den" and what is apparently the original old school Dior Iris bomb...... (This smells like being enveloped in a cloud of iris, lipstick and baby wipes).....I blind bought Rayhaan's Obsidian purely on how good every other Rayhaan fragrances have been lately (and that I got it for £20) And Fuck me sideways - this is really...and I mean REALLY fucking good. Really good! This is a big boy perfume! Even I thought that I'd got my shit together when I smelled myself later on. Absolute banger!

Nah I can't say it's closer to Ultra Male, maybe tiny bits & pieces, compared to 2025 Dior with a slight amount of the 2014. Ultra male has a sugary style of sweetness that the Dior's do not have. Yeah, the Dior's have some sweetness from orange, ambers and possibly patchouli but nothing like the bubble gum type sweetness in the JPG. Definitely does not share much if anything from Ultra Male. I do agree this gets hype but most things do, which is the business model for influencers/reviewers. The truth does not make as much money as hype.

People are leaving this bad reviews when they Blind by a fragrance with a scent profile they don't even know if they like. You must know that you like Iris before purchasing. Go smell the 2025 Dior home in your local Sephora and you'll get a very similar scent. In my opinion this opens with the old Dior home but dries down to the New Dior home it is a fresher easier to wear Dior ohm at a fraction of the price and it smells just as quality highly recommend if you're looking for an elegant daily fall winter special event fragrance

A saída é idêntica ao Dior Homme Parfum 2025, porém ele é mais convidativo, ele sai bem cítrico, depois o couro e as madeiras prevalecem, pouco tempo depois a íris volta com força. Mas eu fiquei um pouco enjoado com ele. Achei que seria mais elegante, faço um teste de campo e vejo como ele se sai. Atualização: usei num jantar a noite, exalou a noite toda, fixou até o dia seguinte, na roupa ficou mesmo após lavagem, é uma bomba árabe(sem trocadilhos), mas não incomoda os outros ao redor. Aroma: 8/10 Performance: 9/10

Own Obsidian, Jungle Vibe, and Aquatica. All three really are great. Never bought dupes before. Have not smelled some the fragrances they are duping because I would never pay exorbitant money for a fragrance. All three of the above have imroved with some maturation. I wont say drastically but they are all really nice fragrances to add to the collection. Obsidian on the dry down is giving me Armani Code Eau de Parfum scent memory. It is a nice fragrance.

This is IMO a very nice fragrance. Smells amazing and I did get a few unsolicited compliments from it. Is the quality on par with Dior of course not. But this is a lovely fragrance perfect for dates and dial back spays a nice work scent. Nice presentation as well. Nothing is ever blind buy everyone has different taste but if you like the DNA and know what Iris style fragrances smell like this is a nice go to for the price. 4/5

Call me a liar, idc, but guys this is literally 1:1 with DHP 2025. I wouldn’t have believed it either until I tried it yesterday at the Dior boutique. The only difference is DHP 2025 is way smoother than Rayhaan Obsidian, but from the opening to the drydown, it smells the same. Trust me, just try it yourself at a Dior boutique if you don’t believe me. And if you think this is duping DHP 2014, please DON’T BUY THIS.

I actually hate iris scents. I can't stand them. But i really liked the new Rayhaan Obsidian. Yes it's an iris heavy fragrance. But it has a twist. On first spray it smells really identical to DHP but has a touch of sweetnes. When that sweetness combines with iris, it becomes so addicting and easier to wear. This is the most elegant scent in my collection. You can easily wear this on the special occasions.

I don't own the 2025 Dior Homme Parfum, but I’ve tried a couple of sprays on my skin and compared the two side by side and I can say that... I like Obsidian more. The opening can get a little harsh but once it cools down (especially on winter clothes) it smells amazing. Iris, leather, and sandalwood are the most dominant notes. Compared to other releases from Rayhaan, this one needs more recognition.

I have been testing it for a while now it gives me armani code EDP / Prada L'Homme Intense vibes. its not similar to any of the Dior Homme line as its promoted. its iris heavy yet clean scent if you like Prada L'Homme Intense go for it. Performance is Solid. Blind buy safe and acceptable from the people around me. I would also say it’s office safe in winter Great value for the price Highly recommend

I've bought a few Rayhaan fragrances and wasn't too impressed until this one. I will describe it the easiest way I can - If you took JPG Le Male Le Parfum, which is my favorite JPG, and added florals and citrus and made it airier, this is how that smells to my nose. I prefer it over the JPG and this has become one of my favorites in the rotation. Incredible scent for the price it's at. Score: 5/5

I made an account to tell you that to me this smells identical to Rayhaan Lion. I like Rayhaan Lion. I like it so much I bought another bottle after a couple weeks of getting my first Rayhaan Lion just in case they stopped making it. I wanted to try some other Rayhaan fragrances so I got this. So, now I have 3 bottles of Rayhaan Lion. Performance is average for me at about 4-5 hours on clothes.

Such a Beautiful Fragrance update: (2/15/26) The number of compliments I've gotten on this fragrance is many! For the Fragrances I own, this is, at the moment, my favorite. I had "you smell like a F-boy," "You Smell Sexy," and "Damn you smell Good." So again... such a beautiful fragrance. Smells WAY OVER PRICED, but is actually not! Worth the Price, Worth the Buy.

opening reminds me of carrots for a few minutes? Then becomes an iris leather fragrance, very smooth, elegant, and professional. Fantastic Iris. Somewhat competes with armani code's vibe, but is a bit less of a universal wear. I get around 6 hours of longevity and good projection. I got as a decant and am debating a full bottle as I do really like it.

In the opening it's 9pm it has nothing to do with dior homme parfum old in the dry down its somewhere between boss ab and new dior homme parfum. It has almost no leather. Edit after few months I don't get 9pm any more its now mix of dhp new and boss abb and it's less airy and more condensed but still has that synthetic opening well worth the price.

If you ignore the the Dior homme aspect which it of course does smell like, I’ve not smelt the 2014 version so I couldn’t give a % comparison but as a stand alone £30 sexy fragrance you can’t go wrong. Well blended, the Iris & powder is there throughout and the leather keeps coming through. Even if you’ve never smelt DHI this is still a banger

Update: no maceration needed. With the being said. After letting it sit for a month and coming back to it. The fragrance has definitely filled out. A bright subtle freshness I didn’t notice before is there. And the wood notes are coming through clearer than before. Still gives off iris in Coca Cola to me in the opening, which I kinda like.

I can compare it to Dior Homme Parfum 2025 side by side, and they are pretty much 1:1 . The opening on Obsidian is a bit not as refined, but that's expected and who really cares, when I'm out the door I'm smelling like DHP which have gotten me insane compliments when I borrow it from my dad and that's crazy for $100 dollars less.

I just got this delivered today. It is such a good fragrance witht the iris and subtle undertones of leather in the opening. As it dries down, it reminds of Prada L’Homme. I am gonna keep it in my closet for about a month to let it improve its performance as I am only getting 5-6 hrs on skin and projects for about 2-3 hrs.

A beautiful everyday scent dark yet floral, the opening is truly horrendous but after about 20 minutes it dries down pleasantly, the longevity and sillage also perfectly represent an office scent lasting a proper 8 hours and not too overpowering, also i say its perfect only for AC and indoor office environments.

wore this was out with seven girls from school and all of them loved it so much they said i should get it the second time we went out deff getting it (i just went to the shop sprayed it 4 times on me and went out shit was on me for 8+ max and i have the typa skin which perfumes last like 4 hours max)

This fragrance arrived today broo what can ı say this is one of the best date night fragrances ı own raayhaan really cooked eith this one nice irisy powdery woody scent with a hint of leather leather is not owerpowering it is fantastic longevity and sillage is very nice too definately buy this 9/10

Ok ...first review I found a bunch of Rayhaan fragrances that were just sooo good for the value and a the smell was fantastic This is one. I'm a Prada LHomme Intense type of guy. This is right up my alley but man it just swerves the Iris so well. Highly recommended Beautiful when sat for a while

This is an exact clone of dior homme parfum 2025 version 95% close. Nothing to do with the 2014 og flanker neither dior homme intense. Save your money and get this one. It’s a masterpiece and last for a long time after weeks of maceration. For 30$ this is unbelievably beautiful.

It smells so close to Dior Homme Parfum I can barely tell what's what, the iris is a bit more pronounced on initial spray with Obsidian though. Otherwise they settle down so close no one among family, friends or the public will ever tell the difference. Great value!

When it first hit me, i was a bit sceptical, but it grown on me prety quick. I still smell the iris? Idk the scents like that but powdery thing, it still hits me after 11hours (4spays on neck). Beautiful scent, classy, manly, powdery, i recommend a decant/try.
