Mint and lavender on vanilla and tonka
Rayhaan Elixir is an Eau de Parfum for men built from very few recorded notes: mint and bergamot on top, lavender and benzoin in the heart, vanilla and tonka bean at the base. FragranceGems files it under fresh, gourmand and oriental. Mint over vanilla is a contrast that can go either way on skin, which is why a 10 ml decant is the sensible first step.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Mint brings a cool, green freshness and bergamot a bright citrus edge. With only these two in the top, the opening should feel clean and simple. It is a short pairing, which makes it easy to follow. Spray once and see whether the mint feels cooling to you or too sharp.
Lavender adds an aromatic, slightly herbal softness and benzoin a warm, balsamic, faintly vanilla-like sweetness. This pairing links the cool top to the sweet base, so smell your skin again at this stage. Notice whether the herbal side or the sweet side leads.
The base is vanilla and tonka bean, a soft, creamy and sweet pair. After the mint and lavender, the sweetness should come as a contrast. Give it time on skin to see whether the contrast pleases you or feels disconnected.
Testing it
Wear Elixir on a normal working day on clean skin and check back at intervals, noting when the mint recedes and the vanilla arrives. Try it again in the evening, which FragranceGems lists, and compare whether the sweet base sits better then.
FragranceGems tags Elixir for men, as moderate, in every season, for daily, evening and work wear. It suits someone who likes a fresh, aromatic start with a gourmand finish and a perfume that is easy to wear across a day. If you favour dry and woody, the base may feel too sweet.
Mint, lavender and vanilla together can feel clean and comforting or oddly divided, and a three-line pyramid will not tell you which. FragranceGems fills the vial from its original bottle and the label is ours. Rayhaan did not make this decant and it is not an official brand sample. Our page also links the full bottle.

Both. Mint and bergamot give the freshness, vanilla and tonka bean the sweetness, and the sample shows how the two sides meet on your skin.
Lavender is a classic aromatic, but its effect depends on the other notes. Here it sits between mint and vanilla, so judge it in that context on skin.
It is the list FragranceGems records: two notes per level. We add nothing to it, so what you see here is all the recorded data.
The brand
Rayhaan makes Eau de Parfum with a warm, oriental signature, and FragranceGems has carried the house long enough to sell a wide range of its perfumes as samples. The range swings from tropical and aquatic scents such as Aquatica and Pacific Aura to dense gourmands like Pharaoh, so the name on the bottle is not a reliable guide. A few samples, worn on separate days, are. The Rayhaan perfumes described in this text are Eau de Parfum.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
