Description - Obsidian
Old-world warmth, modern restraint. Rayhaan Obsidian EDP decant from ৳479 in Bangladesh, sizes 9ml to 15ml. Notes of oud, ambrette and cedar
Obsidian is the 2025 Rayhaan release in the brand's woody-leather category. The composition draws comparisons to Dior Homme Parfum (2024) and JPG Le Male Le Parfum, sitting in the iris-leather-amberwood DNA family that has earned a serious following among men's fragrance wearers. Reviewers describe it as one of the more sophisticated additions to the Rayhaan catalogue, with serious dry-down character that distinguishes it from typical budget oud-style releases. Aromatica carries the Rayhaan Obsidian decant in Bangladesh, which is the cleanest way to wear-test this iris-leather signature before paying full bottle price.
Fragrance Notes
Top: Iris, Citrus

The Scent
The opening is refined, slightly powdery, and immediately distinguished. Iris leads first with its cool root-like character, soft and slightly cosmetic in the best sense, joined within seconds by citrus that adds a bright lift preventing the iris from feeling overly serious. The opening reads sophisticated and adult, the kind of profile that signals a fragrance built for considered evening wear rather than casual daytime rotation. Reviewers consistently compare the early phase to Dior Homme Parfum (2024), with the iris-citrus pairing feeling premium rather than budget-cloned. Within the first ten to fifteen minutes, the heart unfolds. Leather emerges as the central character, smooth and slightly suede-like rather than aggressive smoky leather. The leather note here reads as elegant and slightly creamy, the kind of texture that bridges the cool iris opening into the warmer woody base. Reviewers describe this phase as the most signature character of the composition, with the iris-leather pairing creating a mature confident feminine-adjacent signature that nonetheless reads masculine. The dry-down is where Obsidian settles into its signature woody foundation. Sandalwood and cedar provide creamy dry woody depth, ambrette adds a soft musky thread that smooths the composition, and oud lends a refined animalic shadow that prevents the dry-down from going purely powdery. The dry-down reads as a polished close trail rather than a heavy projection. Performance sits around seven to nine hours on skin, longer on clothes, with moderate-to-strong projection in the first two hours fading to a memorable intimate trail through the rest of the day. The composition reads adult and confident throughout.
When to Wear
Best for fall and winter, evening through formal occasions. The iris-leather-wood framework suits cooler weather where the depth has space to develop fully. Works for evening dinners, dates, formal meetings, and cold-weather social settings where a sophisticated masculine signature fits the room. The powdery character can feel slightly out of place in hot daytime weather.
Who Is It For
For someone drawn to iris-leather compositions with serious dry-down character, particularly anyone who already wears Dior Homme Parfum or Le Male Le Parfum and wants a more accessible alternative in that DNA family. The composition reads adult and confident, suiting wearers from mid-twenties upward who appreciate masculine fragrances with refinement.
Within the catalogue, Rayhaan Dark Leather covers the brand's more straightforward leather direction. Rayhaan Adonis sits in adjacent masculine-oriental territory from the same brand. JPG Le Male Le Parfum is the reference benchmark that Obsidian draws inspiration from. For wearers wanting to explore other powdery-leather compositions, Rayhaan Nocturno Elixir sits in adjacent woody territory.
