Rayhaan
Elixir EDP
“The dupe community's darling — honey-tobacco gold at a fraction of the price.”
Rayhaan's 2024 release — a mint-lavender-vanilla composition that sits firmly in the JPG Le Male Elixir lane. Mint and bergamot open over a lavender-benzoin heart, with a tonka-vanilla base. Wears strongest in fall and winter, evening.
