If you've been checking out Rayhaan perfumes and want something for Malaysia's evenings, this one's for you. We're looking at two men's EDPs from the brand: Lion and Corium. Both come in 100ml Eau de Parfum bottles, and both lean warm and spicy rather than fresh and light. In our hot, humid weather, that makes them more of an after-dark pick than a midday one — think dinners in an air-conditioned restaurant, date nights, or evenings after the rain when the air cools down a bit.
Lion by Rayhaan — the warm, spicy vanilla one
Scent profile
Lion is an Amber Spicy scent with a warm, spicy vanilla profile. It opens with Pear, Lavender, Mint and Bergamot, so the first impression has a fruity touch before it settles. The heart brings Cinnamon, Clary Sage and Cumin, and the base is where it gets cosy: Vanilla, Amber, Patchouli and Cedar.
When to wear it
Lion is made for men, and its occasion list is very evening-focused: evenings, date nights, special events and dinners. The seasons listed for it are fall and rainy — which in Malaysia translates to rainy nights and cooler, air-conditioned places rather than a hot afternoon outside. If your plans are mostly at night, this fits nicely.
Corium by Rayhaan — the leather one
Scent profile
Corium is the Leather scent of the two. It's described as a rich leather, oud and woody character with a profile that's warm, deep and confident. It opens with chestnut, spices and elemi, moves into sage and lavendin, then settles into vanilla, oud accord, guaiac wood and leather. So while both perfumes share a vanilla in the base, Corium goes in a darker, woodier direction.
When to wear it
Corium is also for men, and its occasions are office, evening, special event and dinner. That office listing makes it the more flexible pick of the two — you can wear it to work in an air-con office, then head straight to dinner. Its listed seasons are fall and rainy too, so evenings and rainy days are where it makes the most sense here.
Lion or Corium — which one for you?
- Want leather and oud? Corium is the one from the Leather family, with an oud accord in its base.
- Want something sweeter and spicier? Lion's Amber Spicy profile with vanilla, cinnamon and amber is the warmer, softer option.
- Need an office-friendly scent? Corium lists office among its occasions; Lion's list is all about the evening.
- Prefer a fresher opening? Lion starts with pear, mint and bergamot, while Corium opens with chestnut and spices.
Both are men's 100ml EDPs, both share vanilla in the base, and both suit evening wear in Malaysia better than a hot afternoon. Pick by mood: sweet and spicy for date night, or dark and leathery for the office and whatever comes after.
