About This Perfume
Rayhaan Obsidian smells like iris powder with leather and warm sandalwood. Iris and citrus open it soft and powdery. Leather carries the heart alone, smooth rather than harsh, and the base settles into sandalwood, ambrette, cedar and a quiet oud.
It leans masculine and is a daytime scent for spring, fall and winter, with date nights as its favorite occasion. The mood is floral, powdery and romantic, a polished scent that feels refined without trying hard.
The community rates its longevity as long and its projection at arm's length. It scores as a safe blind buy with little division of opinion, and very high on value, so it is a comfortable first step into iris and leather.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone who wants a smooth iris-and-leather scent for dates and cooler days.
- Sample first if: you find powdery notes too soft or old-fashioned.
- Skip if: you want a sweet gourmand or a bright citrus.
Around $39.

The Brand
Rayhaan
Rayhaan has 33 perfumes indexed on Scendira, and the catalogue skews masculine: 55% of the range, with 39% unisex and a small 6% feminine slice. The six most-common accords are aromatic (25 perfumes), woody (23), warm-spiced (22), fresh-spicy (19), and sweet and citrus (18 each), built on bergamot, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and musk. Prices run $23.71 to $49.99, with a $37 median, a tight, consistent mid-range band across the whole catalogue. Every perfume here launched between 2022 and 2026, so it's an entirely current-generation lineup. By community mentions, Aquatica leads clearly, followed by Pacific Aura, Obsidian, Lion, and Crimson. The profile is fresh-aromatic on top with a woody, warm-spiced drydown, a familiar men's-fragrance structure rather than a gourmand or floral one.
