Sugary Sweet to a Fault

⭐⭐

The budget Arabian perfume house Al-Rehab is renowned for its hits and misses. Unfortunately, Rayan Black falls into the latter category. This cloying composition is a one-note sugar overload, lacking nuance or development. Picture the interior of an old-fashioned candy shop, overflowing with row upon row of rock sugar sticks and cotton candy.

From first roll to final fade, Rayan Black bombard the senses with an almost sickening level of sweetness. There are no fresh or bright accents to provide relief. No alluring hints of spice or vanilla to add depth. Just wave after relentless wave of spun sugar.

While some appreciate gourmand fragrances, Rayan Black takes the dessert concept to an extreme. It conjures memories of childhood sugar rushes - followed by crashes. Certainly not an everyday scent, unless one has an hardcore sweet tooth. And due to its tenacious lasting power, the honeyed aroma persists for hours on end.

Fans of vanilla should stick to the actual essential oil, which offers a brighter, more layered sweetness when fresh. Sadly, Rayan Black omits vanilla’s mesmerizing facets completely in favor of one-dimensional candy floss. Uninspiring and flat, this toothache in a bottle is simply too syrupy to enjoy.

Berry aroma in vannile yoghurt

On the search for intensive berries for autumn/winter I stumbled upon this one while searching for scents. With a price of under 10€ for 50ml I dared then a blind purchase, much more favorably it cannot become also not.

Rayan Black is starting very buried. Green tea takes the sweetness out of this something and exchanges it for a subtle, bitter touch. Right from the start, the heart note of musk, sandalwood and vanilla is absorbed in the berry-tea mixture, but is still lost in the intensity of the latter.

If you give the fragrance a good 10 minutes, the top note evaporates to such an extent that the heart note is present enough. Musk, sandalwood and vanilla radiate a pleasant sweetness, which gets some character from the berries.

The further course of the fragrance is characterised by the fact that the berries and the green tea continue to volatilise bit by bit, while musk, sandalwood and vanilla remain. The whole thing does not develop into a real base note, so the heart note remains until the end and forms the basis of the fragrance.

The whole fun radiates a good 2-3 hours from the skin, and is then 5-6 hours still very close to perceive.

Sounds all well and good, but unfortunately I am not completely convinced. Everything in the fragrance makes a rather synthetic impression and is reminiscent of modern cheap designer fragrances. And they are exactly the ones that are not developed out of love for perfume. Those that are only designed to hit some safe fragrance on the market. No type of berry is really often found in the mainstream, but Al Rehab has managed to wrap this note into a fragrance of the world anyway.

All right, well, maybe the smell of the world isn't fair. After all, Rayan Black makes a very oriental impression, but that's perhaps exactly what makes it so special. Actually, a glance at the heart note is enough to understand this: Sandalwood, musk and vanilla can be found as a combination in a huge amount of scents. Al Rehab didn't have to do much more than mix a roughly matching top note together to create a portable perfume. The result? A somewhat synthetic, pleasant fragrance with a mediocre performance, which bores me and in the Orient probably goes down even more in the mass. For 10€ I shouldn't have expected anything more here; for the price you already get something decent. But I had hoped for a secret tip here, but unfortunately not found.

In my opinion, the field of application is absolutely everywhere in winter and autumn. Not too sweet for work, not too boring for a date, but too warm for warm days. I can't recognize a special target group here either. I find the fragrance absolutely unisex, but perhaps something more suitable for younger people.
