Saffron, coffee and suede over tonka and vanilla
Rayhaan Pharaoh is a strong Eau de Parfum that opens with alcoholic notes, saffron, cardamom and cade oil, moves to coffee, benzoin and suede, and ends on guaiac wood, tonka bean, labdanum, vanilla and amberwood. A smoky, spiced and sweet profile is best judged in small doses over several days.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Alcoholic notes, saffron, cardamom and cade oil open the perfume. Cade oil is smoky and tarry, saffron adds a leathery spice, and cardamom lifts them. FragranceGems describes the opening as smoky and instantly recognisable, so the first minutes are the most distinctive.
The heart has coffee, benzoin and suede. Coffee adds a roasted, bittersweet warmth, benzoin a soft vanilla-like resin, and suede a smooth leathery touch. FragranceGems calls the result a dark gourmand, and this is where the perfume earns that label.
Guaiac wood, tonka bean, labdanum, vanilla and amberwood form the base. Guaiac adds smoky wood, tonka and vanilla sweeten, and labdanum and amberwood bring resin and warmth. The finish is creamy and woody, gentler and sweeter than the opening.
Testing it
Wear a small amount on a clean forearm in the evening, which is where FragranceGems places it. Check how the smoke of the opening settles into coffee, then into vanilla and wood. A second test on a cooler evening shows whether the sweetness feels welcome.
For people who enjoy dark gourmand perfumes with smoke and spice. FragranceGems tags it as unisex and strong, for evenings and special occasions in autumn and winter. If you have never worn a coffee note, the sample is a gentle way to find out whether you like it.
Smoky cade oil next to coffee and vanilla is a combination that divides opinion, so test before you decide. This decant is not an official brand sample, and Rayhaan takes no part in filling it. If it convinces you, the full bottle is one click away.

Cade oil is part of the opening, but the base turns sweet and woody. How strongly the smoke registers is personal, and the decant lets you check that without committing.
Each 10 ml glass spray vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and then labelled by us, so there is no doubt about what is inside.
Coffee is one of three notes in the heart, alongside benzoin and suede. FragranceGems calls the style a dark gourmand, so coffee is part of the character rather than the whole.
The brand
Rayhaan makes Eau de Parfum with a warm, oriental signature, and FragranceGems has carried the house long enough to sell more than twenty 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. All Rayhaan perfumes here 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
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
