Cognac, raspberry and Bulgarian rose
Rayhaan Valhalla is an Eau de Parfum that opens with cognac, raspberry and liqueur, turns to Bulgarian rose, tonka bean and oakmoss, and ends on sandalwood, oak wood and praline. A boozy fruit top over rose and praline is a rich mix, which is why a 10 ml decant makes more sense than going straight to the 100 ml bottle.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
FragranceGems describes the first moments as fruity and lightly alcoholic. Cognac, raspberry and liqueur sit together in the top, so expect a warm, berry-sweet opening with a boozy shade rather than a fresh one. Whether the alcohol shade charms or distracts you is the first thing the sample answers.
Bulgarian rose, tonka bean and oakmoss form the heart. FragranceGems says this combination balances floral elegance, creamy sweetness and an earthy, masculine foundation. The rose is the note to watch, because it decides whether the berries turn romantic or heavy.
Sandalwood, oak wood and praline finish the perfume. FragranceGems describes the dry-down as warm and gourmand, with a deep, robust ending. The oak wood and sandalwood hold the sweetness of the praline in place. Smell the skin again at this stage, since the sweetness can settle differently from how the opening suggested.
Testing it
Wear it on an evening, since FragranceGems tags it strong and for evening and special occasions, and begin with a light application. Watch the raspberry and cognac give way to rose, then to praline. Try a second time in cool daytime weather to see how it behaves without the setting of an evening.
For people who like gourmand, floral and woody perfumes with a dark, fruity opening, and who are not put off by cognac and liqueur in a note list. FragranceGems lists it for men, for autumn and winter. If berries in perfume have felt too sugary, the oak and moss here may change that.
Rose, berries and praline can please or overwhelm, depending on how much of each your skin brings out. The decant is poured at FragranceGems from the bottle itself and carries our label. It is no official brand sample. We have no tie to Rayhaan.

Raspberry, liqueur and praline all point to sweetness, but oakmoss, oak wood and sandalwood add dry, earthy counterweight. FragranceGems tags it floral, gourmand and woody, so the balance is a matter of skin.
Cognac and liqueur are recorded in the top, and FragranceGems describes the first spray as lightly alcoholic. The word lightly suggests a hint rather than a blast, which the sample lets you check.
FragranceGems lists autumn and winter for it, and its notes are warm and rich. You can still try the sample on a mild day to see for yourself, but a cool evening is the likelier setting.
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.
