Product description

Inspiration / Dupe

Rayhaan does not officially market Italia as a clone of another fragrance. However, in fragrance communities it’s frequently discussed as reminiscent in vibe to Xerjoff Naxos — especially as it develops into its honey, tobacco and vanilla facets. This is a community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes (short)

Top Notes:

Lavender, Lemon, Bergamot 

Heart Notes:

Honey, Cinnamon, Cashmeran, Jasmine 

Base Notes:

Tobacco Leaf, Vanilla, Tonka Bean 

What it smells like

Italia kicks off with a fresh and aromatic citrus burst of lavender softened by bergamot and lemon, giving a clean, uplifting opening. The heart unfolds into a warm, honeyed-spice harmony with cinnamon and jasmine riding over a cozy cashmeran backdrop. The dry-down reveals a smooth, refined base where tobacco leaf, creamy vanilla and tonka bean blend into a rich, elegant trail that feels both masculine and inviting. 

Many reviewers note that while the opening can feel sharp or medicinal at first, the dry-down becomes creamy, sweet and warm — with honey and tobacco playing together in a way that some compare to premium oriental gourmand fragrances. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — many users report it lasts 6–10+ hours on skin and longer on clothing.  
• Sillage: Moderate — noticeable without being overpowering once it settles.  
• Projection: Bright and aromatic at first, transitioning into a more smooth, warm base trail over time.  

Community notes often mention that maceration (letting the bottle rest) can improve smoothness and help the warmer base notes shine. 

Best for

• Everyday & versatile wear — fresh yet rich for many contexts.  
• Spring, autumn & cooler summer evenings — bright opening with warm dry-down.  
• Date nights & evening events — inviting warm base with smooth character.  
• Fans of aromatic gourmand profiles — should enjoy the honey-tobacco-vanilla interplay.
