Lion by Rayhaan

Eau de Parfum • Men • Aromatic Spicy / Sweet Woody

Product description

Lion by Rayhaan Perfumes is a bold, charismatic fragrance for men that mixes fresh fruity-aromatic top notes with warm spicy heart notes and a rich, sweet woody base — creating a confident, attention-grabbing scent that works perfectly for evenings, nights out, dates and cool weather. It’s one of Rayhaan’s most talked-about recent releases, celebrated for its powerful projection and memorable trail. 

Inspiration / Dupe

Rayhaan does not officially market Lion as a clone of another fragrance, but fragrance enthusiasts widely compare it to Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male due to the pear-sweet, spicy-sweet character and similar note arrangement — this is a community observation, not a brand claim. 

Notes (short)

Top Notes:

Pear, Lavender, Mint, Bergamot 

Heart Notes:

Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Cumin 

Base Notes:

Vanilla, Amber, Cedarwood, Patchouli 

What it smells like

Lion opens with a juicy, aromatic burst — sweet pear and citrusy bergamot blend with cool mint and aromatic lavender for a fresh yet bold start. The heart brings warm spices like cinnamon and earthy clary sage with cumin, adding depth and a masculine edge. In the dry-down, creamy vanilla and amber warmth meet cedarwood and patchouli, giving a rich, sweet-woody base that lingers and feels both cozy and striking. 

Community reviewers often describe the opening as bright and sweet with a pear-candy quality and note that the vanilla-amber dry-down gives it a seductive, confident trail — though some find it very sweet and youthful, while others love its bold performance. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — often 8–10+ hours on skin and sometimes longer on fabrics.  
• Sillage: Strong — noticeable trail that attracts compliments and heads turns.  
• Projection: Bold early on, then evolves into a warm, inviting trail.  

Many wearers report that Lion projects loudly at first and lasts well on clothes even after the scent on skin has softened. 

Best for

• Evenings & nights out — bold, attention-grabbing profile.  
• Cooler weather & fall/winter — warmth and spice shine in cooler temperatures.  
• Date nights & social events — sweet spice makes a memorable impression.  
• Fans of sweet-spicy aromatic scents — especially lovers of pear and vanilla intertwined with warm spices.
