SOTD/Review: Rayhaan Lion · Brotherhood Of Scent

SOTD/Review: Rayhaan Lion

This opens with juicy pear, fresh lavender and a cooling hint of mint & bergamot - bright, fruity, and attention-grabbing almost immediately. As it develops, warm cinnamon, herbal clary sage, and earthy cumin step in to give depth and spice. The base is rich with vanilla, amber, patchouli, cedar, and soft musk & tonka bean, ending in a comforting, gourmand-woody dry-down. It projects strongly for the first 2-3 hours, then becomes more skin-hugging but still noticeable. Longevity sits around 8-10 hours on skin, with clothing carrying the scent even longer.

Overall rating: 9.2/10

It smells very close to Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male - around 95% - It captures the pear-vanilla DNA quite faithfully but with better balance in the spiciness; smoother on the edges, while keeping that sweet-warm signature. Definitely a good back up if cannot obtain Ultra Male with it being discontinued in most places, probably limited production and reformulated. I even received a compliment within a couple hours of wearing it. No complaints!
