Rayhaan Elixir

From the moment I first sprayed Rayhaan Elixir, I knew I had something special. The scent is an artful mix of warmth and freshness—top notes of bergamot and a hint of mint or armoise (depending on how your skin chemistry plays out) open up with a crisp sparkle, then settle into an addictive heart of lavender and benzoin before melting into vanilla and tonka bean. It evokes a “sweet but not cloying” vibe, cozy and inviting yet not overly soft. As for length and strength, this perfume does not play small. On my skin, I get a solid 7–8 hours where people still comment on the scent; on clothes or coats, it lingers even longer. The projection is strong in the early hours (expect heads to turn) and then transitions into something softer but still perceptible without overdoing it. It might not trap everyone in a cloud for 24 hours, but for the price, this performance feels outstanding. The bottle size is generous (100ml / 3.4 oz is what’s commonly offered). It feels like a real deal, not a sample or gimmick. The presentation is solid: sturdy design, luxe look, good atomizer. When you see the bottle, it gives you confidence you got something more than just “a cheap knock-off.” One of the things I love most is the softness in the dry-down. After the initial fresh burst, the scent gradually warms, becomes creamy, smooth, and almost caressing — the vanilla and tonka come through beautifully without tipping into “too sweet dessert” territory. It wraps around you in a way that’s flattering, comforting, and wearable in evenings, cooler weather, or anytime when you want to feel elegant but not overpowering. Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for a fragrance that delivers big fragrance notes, excellent wear time, and a bottle that feels substantive, this is it. Rayhaan Elixir strikes a sweet spot between luxury and affordability, with a scent profile that feels mature and rich without trying too hard. The only caveat: for very hot, humid weather you might want to use it more sparingly; its strength can become intense in those conditions. But personally, for evenings, colder days, special nights out, this fragrance delivers way more than I expected. Highly recommend.

Smell great initially very strong but after 15 minutes or so it stay strong, but doesn’t give off that absurdly strong sent so it smells really good after 20 minutes and longer. It has lasted various hours like half a day wherever you applied the smell and the size is great I think I’ve used mine like maybe 20 times and I apply about three sprays and a half on and it’s only about 2% of the way down so it’s pretty big.

Let me just say, I have JPGE. Do not spend the money on the original. RAYHAAN did such a phenomenal job at recreating it that you'd be wasting your money. I by no means have the nose of a perfumer. But I can honestly say the common nose (which is me) will never be able to tell the difference between the two. Just do yourself a favor and buy this fragrance.

Rayhaan Elixir is one of the most talked-about Rayhaan releases because it targets a very specific lane. From the first spray, it’s clear what this is going for. This is firmly in the Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir DNA territory, and the resemblance is obvious. The opening leans fresh compared to most sweet winter fragrances. You get mint and bergamot right away, which gives it a slightly cool, aromatic lift before the sweetness kicks in. That minty top is one of the main differences versus the JPG. It makes the opening feel a bit brighter and less dense. As it develops, the fragrance moves into a more familiar space. The mid is built around lavender and benzoin, which creates that sweet, slightly resinous core that defines the Elixir-style profile. This is where the DNA becomes really recognizable. If you’ve smelled Le Male Elixir, you’ll immediately understand the direction. The drydown is where Rayhaan Elixir really settles into its identity. You get a strong vanilla and tonka base, which gives it that thick, warm sweetness that people expect from this style of fragrance. It ends up smelling cozy, sweet, and very modern, especially in cooler air. In terms of how close it is to JPG, most impressions land in the “very similar but not identical” range. The opening tends to be a bit fresher and less refined, while the drydown gets much closer to the original DNA. That’s pretty typical for this category. Performance is one of the reasons this fragrance keeps getting attention. Many wearers report strong longevity with good projection, especially after the bottle sits for a bit. It’s not always described as nuclear, but it clearly performs well for the price and fits the loud sweet winter fragrance category. Stylistically, this sits firmly in the modern sweet lane. It works best for: - fall and winter - nights out - younger crowd settings - club or social environments - casual cold-weather wear This is not subtle and not office-friendly in most situations. It’s built to be noticeable and compliment-driven. Overall, Rayhaan Elixir succeeds because it understands the assignment. It delivers a recognizable Le Male Elixir-style scent profile with strong sweetness and solid performance at a much lower price point. It doesn’t have the refinement of the original, but in the air, the similarity is clear enough that most people will get the same vibe. If you like warm, sweet, vanilla-heavy fragrances and want that modern Elixir DNA without paying designer prices, this one makes a lot of sense.

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this fragrance. The scent is smooth, masculine, and well-balanced without being overpowering. It has a fresh opening with a warm finish that lasts for hours, making it great for both everyday wear and special occasions. The bottle also looks premium and expensive, especially for the price. I’ve already received several compliments while wearing it, and people have asked what fragrance I was using. If you’re looking for a high-quality cologne with excellent value, this one is definitely worth adding to your collection. Highly recommended!

Got a bunch of compliments when wearing this and lasted all day!!

Great value. This smells amazing and not overpowering. Won't go wrong picking up this clone

A bit spicier than I'd hoped. Strong initially but lightens after a bit. Definitely a masculine scent, and would not consider this unisex or feminine in the least.

I don't have much to say about other the great you will get addicted to the notes , its sweet it has vanilla, amber and mild tonka beans definitely best for winters and nights but the longevity is bad, it projection last 45 - 50 min and then barely last 4-5 hours I let it macerate for 1-2 weeks and it did help but comparison to the older batchs the new sucks honestly I did try the older batch before and I lasted longer than the new ones . so the conclusion is this can be the best winter fragrances but longevity is holding it back and you just have to macerate for a 1 week which is a negative i'd rate it 8/10

Un aroma recomendable Par Tods ocacion nada invasivo pero muy notable

It's 10/10?!??! It has longevity,scent and just for this price It's money worth also main line of the scent It's sweet, great for summer to Definitely buying again
