Pharaoh

Rayhaan Pharaoh is a pretty good fragrance. It honestly just reminds me of 'Sweet Heaven - Tobacco'. The main difference between those two for me is that Sweet Heaven - Tobacco has 'spicy' notes instead of the 'boozy' notes like in this fragrance. So this fragrance to me is much more smoother than SH Tobacco. I mostly smell suede leather, boozy notes, coffee, and a tad bit of Vanilla. Definitely will edit this review because I literally just got this bottle from a homie, so idk how macerated it's been but it's pretty much brand new, barely sprayed. But as of right now, I already enjoy the scent and will wear it during the fall and winter. I paid $50 for it Even though now I see that it's $30 on Amazon but I'm not too pissy about that.

HONEST REVIEW I strongly believe that just because you do not like a fragrance that doesn’t mean it’s a bad perfume. That being said this one is not for me It is extremely strong and the Cade oil was very present. It was the most smokiest scent I’ve ever smelt. It gave my wife a headache and I literally couldn’t bare the scent on me so I took a shower and used dish soap and it was still lingering (yes I said dish soap) Like I said, just because I didn’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s bad. If you like heavy smoke scents with spice, this one is for you! Longevity and silage are ENORMOUS! It does not smell cheap and this does not taint my view on Rayhaan. I’m more of a Terra guy and I’ll stick with that

Absolutely fucking incredible, I smell like a pharaoh. The suede combination of the light leather from the suede and the vanilla make a harmonious commanding attention grabber. The light saffron at the top also makes it similar to Crystal saffron by Matiere Premiere with an almost metallic tinge to it. This is one of the best blind buys I’ve ever gotten and I’m incredibly happy. I will be wearing this in the summer and no one can tell me otherwise. Edit: after more wears I would like a little more saffron, but still incredible. Maybe layering this with a cheap alternative to Crystal Saffron like, Ambre D’or by Armaf may be a good move.

I’ll let the comparisons with the OG for others, as while I have Babycat, I have not been able to get a sample of Caden so far. On its own: it’s a smoky vanilla fragrance with a lot of spices. Opening is quite harsh(which I expect to get better with maceration, but it’s still an issue), but the dry down is very good. It has that shoe factory suede smell that this DNA is known for, and the spices compliment it really well. Performance is amazing and it lasts until the next wash on clothing. It’s not blind buy safe, but then again, nothing Babycat-adjacent is. 8.5/10 for me.

What a gorgeous resinous, warm, sweet gourmand lover's dream gem. If you told me there are dates in this magic potion I'd believe you. This is somewhat smoky leather dominant spicy woody vanilla. The rest of the notes are simply backup dancers yet they are essential in making this scent truly unisex. There's certainly a hint of coffee but wouldn't call this a coffee scent by any means. You have to like dark somewhat dense scents to appreciate this DNA. Is this blind buy safe? Probably not. It's in the same family as Babycat. And how cool is that bottle! Love.
