Plum and tuberose over vanilla and oud
Vanilla Vibe is an Eau de Parfum from Rayhaan, built around Madagascar vanilla. Plum and freesia open it, tuberose sits beside the vanilla in the heart, and amber, labdanum, cashmere wood and oud close the composition. Vanilla combined with oud can turn sweet, smoky or both, depending on the skin, which makes a decant the sensible first meeting.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening pairs plum with freesia. Plum brings a dark, jammy fruit note, freesia a light and slightly peppery floral freshness. It is a short stretch that sets the tone before the vanilla arrives, so apply it and give it a few minutes before you judge anything.
In the heart, tuberose, a creamy white flower, meets Madagascar vanilla. Tuberose can feel heady on its own, and the vanilla rounds it into something softer and warmer. This stage decides whether the perfume reads as a floral gourmand or as a plain vanilla on your skin.
The base gathers amber, labdanum, cashmere wood and oud. Amber and labdanum add resinous warmth, cashmere wood a smooth and dry softness, and oud a dark, slightly smoky edge under the vanilla. Wait for this stage, because oud is the note that differs most from skin to skin.
Testing it
Try it on a cool evening, on a clean forearm, and do not rub the skin. Smell it straight away, again once the plum and freesia have faded, and once more later in the day when the oud shows. Wear the sample on two or three separate days before deciding whether the vanilla stays sweet on you.
For people who like vanilla but want some depth beneath it: a floral heart and a resinous, slightly smoky base. It suits cooler months and evenings. If you usually avoid vanilla because it turns sugary, the oud may change that, and the sample lets you find out.
Vanilla perfumes with oud vary a great deal between wearers, and no description tells you how Rayhaan Vanilla Vibe sits on your skin. A decant filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us lets you test it over several days. The vial is our own work and not an official brand sample; Rayhaan took no part in it.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

The recorded notes combine Madagascar vanilla with tuberose, amber, labdanum and oud, so the sweetness is balanced by resin and wood. How sweet it feels depends on your skin, and that is exactly what the sample is for.
Rayhaan Vanilla Vibe as an Eau de Parfum, decanted by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. The vial is available in 2, 5 or 10 ml.
Take 2 ml for a first impression, 5 ml for a few test days, and 10 ml if you expect to wear Vanilla Vibe regularly. The sizes are 2, 5 or 10 ml, all in a glass spray vial.
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
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
