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.

Synthetic Berry Aroma in Vanilla Yogurt
In search of an intense berry scent for autumn/winter, I stumbled upon this one while looking for fragrance notes. With a price of under €10 for 50ml, I decided to take a blind buy; it can't get much cheaper than that.

Rayan Black starts off very berry-like. Green tea takes away some of the sweetness and replaces it with a subtle, bitter touch. Right from the start, the heart note of musk, sandalwood, and vanilla lays under the berry-tea mixture, but it still gets overshadowed by the intensity of the latter.

If you give the fragrance a good 10 minutes, the top note dissipates enough for the heart note to be present. Musk, sandalwood, and vanilla radiate a pleasant sweetness, which is slightly characterized by the berries.

The further development of the scent is marked by the gradual fading of the berries and green tea, while musk, sandalwood, and vanilla remain. The base of the fragrance doesn't really vary and presents the same sandalwood/musk/vanilla mixture.

It radiates well for about 2-3 hours from the skin and can still be perceived closely for another 5-6 hours.

Sounds nice and all, but unfortunately, I'm not entirely convinced. Everything about the scent gives a rather synthetic impression and reminds me of modern cheap designer fragrances.

Well, calling it a generic scent might not be entirely fair. After all, Rayan Black does have a very oriental impression, but that might be exactly what gives the fragrance its most distinctive quality. A glance at the heart note is enough to understand this: sandalwood, musk, and vanilla are found as a combination in a huge number of fragrances. Al Rehab didn't have to do much more than mix together a somewhat fitting top note to create a wearable perfume. The result? A synthetic scent that is probably quite pleasant for many, with mediocre performance, which bores me and likely gets lost even more in the crowd in the Orient. For €10, I shouldn't have expected much more, as the price is fair. However, I was hoping for a hidden gem, but unfortunately didn't find one.

In my opinion, the suitable occasions are absolutely in winter and autumn everywhere. Not too sweet for work, not too boring for a date, but too warm for hot days. I can't identify a specific target group here either. I find the scent completely unisex, but perhaps a bit more suitable for younger people.

EDIT: I have to downgrade my rating from 7 to 5. After just a few wears, the penetrating synthetic nature of the fragrance becomes quite noticeable.
