Description

Rayhaan Obsidian is a dark, sophisticated and refined fragrance designed for men who prefer an elegant scent with a strong woody and leathery character.

The fragrance opens with iris and citrus, creating a surprisingly fresh beginning. The iris gives the opening its characteristic powdery, slightly floral quality, while the citrus adds brightness and prevents the fragrance from becoming immediately heavy.

As it develops, leather becomes more prominent. This gives Obsidian its deeper, smoother and more masculine character. The fragrance also has subtle floral nuances that soften the leather and make the transition into the base smoother. Rayhaan’s official listing gives the heart as leather and rose.

The dry-down is where Obsidian becomes particularly rich. Sandalwood, ambrette, oud and cedar create a warm, woody and slightly musky foundation. The combination of oud and cedar adds depth, while sandalwood provides a smoother, creamier woody quality.

The overall effect is elegant, mature, dark and polished, rather than a simple fresh “blue” fragrance. It is particularly suited to someone looking for a sophisticated scent for evenings, dates, formal occasions or situations where a more dressed-up fragrance is appropriate.
