Inspiration / Dupe

While Rayhaan does not officially market Elixir as a designer clone, many fragrance enthusiasts compare its profile to Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male Elixir — especially in the overall fresh-aromatic opening and sweet creamy dry-down — though this is a community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes (short)

Top Notes:

Mint, Bergamot 

Heart Notes:

Lavender, Benzoin 

Base Notes:

Vanilla, Tonka Bean 

What it smells like

Rayhaan Elixir opens with a bright, refreshing burst of mint and bergamot, giving it a crisp and energising start. The heart introduces aromatic lavender and warm benzoin, creating a smooth, rich core with both herbal calm and resinous sweetness. In the dry-down, vanilla and tonka bean emerge to deliver a creamy, comforting trail, balancing freshness with warmth for a well-rounded scent that’s both inviting and memorable. 

Fragrance communities often note that, after a short period of maceration (letting the bottle rest), the scent softens and deepens, making the warm base stand out more and the overall evolution feel smoother. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — typically around 6–10+ hours on skin and longer on fabrics for some wearers.  
• Sillage: Moderate — noticeable without being overpowering.  
• Projection: Bright in the opening with mint and bergamot, settling into a warmer, intimate dry-down that lingers elegantly.  

Community feedback varies — some report strong performance and compliment-pulling dry-downs after maceration, while others find projection softer early on. 

Best for

• Cooler seasons & autumn/winter evenings — the warm base shines in cooler weather.  
• Evening wear & date nights — smooth mix of aromatic freshness and creamy warmth.  
• Daytime casual to semi-formal — balanced enough for everyday elegance.  
• Fans of aromatic and sweet warm scents — especially lovers of mint-vanilla and tonka combinations.
