If you're working in Sarawak and want a Rayhaan perfume that actually fits your routine, this one's for you. We're looking at two 100ml Eau de Parfums from the same brand: Adonis Icarus, a unisex Woody Aromatic that's right at home in an office, and Lion, a men's Amber Spicy that's better saved for after hours. Both are proper full-size 100ml EDPs, so you're not choosing between a travel spritz and a giant.
Adonis Icarus by Rayhaan — the office one
Adonis Icarus is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for women and men — in other words, a unisex scent. Its fragrance family is Woody Aromatic, and the notes run like this: it opens with Citrus and Aromatic Notes, moves into Floral Notes and Spices, and settles into Amber, Woody Notes and Musk.
Why does it suit office wear so well in Sarawak? Because "Office" and "Daily Wear" are literally listed among its occasions, along with Casual and Evening. So you can spray it in the morning, sit through meetings, and head out for a casual evening without switching bottles. The seasons listed for it include Rainy too, which is handy — a Sarawak downpour in the afternoon doesn't have to ruin your scent plans. And in an air-conditioned office, that fresh citrus opening is a nice thing to have around.
Lion by Rayhaan — the after-work one
Lion is a 100ml Eau de Parfum for men with an Amber Spicy profile and a warm spicy vanilla scent overall. It opens with Pear, Lavender, Mint and Bergamot, moves into Cinnamon, Clary Sage and Cumin, and then settles into Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli and Cedar.
Now, the listed occasions here are Evening, Date Night, Special Event and Dinner — so this isn't the one I'd reach for at 8am on a desk day. It's the one you spray when you're heading out for dinner in Kuching, going on a date, or attending an evening event. It's also listed for Rainy season, so a wet evening doesn't rule it out either.
So which one should you pick?
Simple. If your main need is office wear and daily use, Adonis Icarus is the clear pick — Office and Daily Wear sit right there in its occasions, and its citrus and aromatic opening fits a work setting much better than a cinnamon-and-cumin spice mix would.
If you're after something for evenings, dinners, date nights or special events, that's Lion's territory. Its pear and lavender opening softens into cinnamon and clary sage, and the vanilla, amber and cedar base is what you'll carry through the night. Rainy evenings included.
And if you can only pick one? Look at your week. If most of your days are desk days in an office, start with Adonis Icarus. If your calendar is heavier on dinner plans than meetings, Lion's your guy. Either way, both come as 100ml EDPs, so you're getting the full-size experience whichever direction you lean.
