Rayhaan Elixir

The Verdict

Rayhaan Elixir is a no-brainer if you like Le Male Elixir. Yes, it's a clone, and it has a synthetic edge. But it captures the essence of the original . Is the real Le Male Elixir ten times better? No way. If you're on a budget and want that sweet, masculine scent profile, this is a solid buy. Don't expect niche quality, but expect a crowd-pleasing fragrance that performs well without breaking the bank.

Olfactory Experience

Rayhaan Elixir copies Le Male Elixir's vibe pretty closely, maybe 90%. The opening blast is a sweet lavender-mint combo, but with a slightly sharper, more synthetic edge than the JPG. The heart is vanilla-heavy, again mimicking the original, but the quality isn't quite there. The drydown is where it shines. The honey, tonka, and tobacco create a warm, sweet base, though that synthetic lavender-mint lingers a bit longer than it should. It’s good, but not seamless. The original has a smoother, more refined feel throughout.

Longevity & Projection

Projection is strong for the first 2-3 hours, leaving a decent scent trail. Longevity is impressive, pushing 8-9 hours on my skin. It becomes a skin scent after about 4 hours, but it's definitely still detectable. A solid performer, especially considering the price.
