If you're a perfume collector in Selangor who enjoys an evening spritz, whether that's dinner in Shah Alam, a date night in KL or just something nice for a night out, this one's for you. We're looking at two Rayhaan perfumes, both 100ml Eau de Parfum, and both listed for evening wear. Let's get into what's inside each one.
Lion by Rayhaan
Lion is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for men, and its scent profile is warm, spicy and vanilla-forward. It opens with Pear, Lavender, Mint and Bergamot, so you get that fresh, slightly sweet start. The heart brings in Cinnamon, Clary Sage and Cumin, which is where the spice really shows up. Then it settles into a base of Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli and Cedar.
Rayhaan lists Lion for evenings, date nights, special events and dinner. Rainy is one of its listed seasons, so for us in Malaysia, think rainy nights, cooler evenings after the rain, or dinner in an air-conditioned restaurant. If your collection leans towards warmer, spicier scents for the night-time, this is the one of the two that fits that slot.
Who it suits
Lion is for men, and it's clearly built around evening occasions. If you want a perfume that stays in the spicy vanilla and amber territory from dinner till the end of the night, this is the direction it goes.
Adonis Icarus by Rayhaan
Adonis Icarus is a 100ml Eau de Parfum, and it's unisex, so it's made for women and men. Its family is Woody Aromatic. It opens with Citrus and Aromatic Notes, which gives it a fresher, brighter opening than Lion. The heart has Floral Notes and Spices, and it settles into Amber, Woody Notes and Musk for the base.
The occasions listed for Adonis Icarus are Daily Wear, Office, Casual and Evening. That makes it the more flexible bottle of the two. You can wear it to work in the day, and it still carries into the evening. Rainy is also one of its listed seasons, so it suits Malaysia's rainy days nicely.
Who it suits
Because it's unisex, Adonis Icarus works for anyone. If you're a collector who likes bottles that pull double duty, something that starts fresh and citrusy, moves through floral and spicy, and lands on amber, woody and musky, this one covers a lot of ground in a single perfume.
Lion or Adonis Icarus: which one should you pick?
Both are 100ml Eau de Parfums from Rayhaan, and both are listed for evening wear. The difference is in the mood and the range.
Pick Lion if you want a dedicated night-time scent for men. Its spicy vanilla and amber profile, plus occasions like date night and dinner, make it the more focused evening pick.
Pick Adonis Icarus if you want one bottle that does more. It's unisex, it starts with citrus and aromatic notes instead of fruit and lavender, and its occasion list runs from the office and daily wear through to the evening. Collectors who like versatility will appreciate that.
And honestly, if you're building a collection, they don't overlap much. One is warm and spicy for men's evenings, the other is a fresh-to-woody unisex all-rounder. Some collectors will find room for both.
