Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Homme EDP
A dark, supremely refined statement of masculine elegance. Dior Homme Eau de Parfum is for those who appreciate iris at its most velvety and leather at its most supple. Not for the timid-this is signature-worthy, complex, and unforgettable.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Obsidian EDP
Rayhaan Obsidian is a divisive yet undeniably popular fragrance. While some can't get past its synthetic edge or bubblegum comparisons, many rave about its luxurious iris-leather blend and incredible value. It's a statement scent for those who love bold, confident iris.

Season and Occasion Fit

Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Its opulent, powdery iris, dense leather, and rich woody base make it ideal for cold and transitional seasons, where the warmth and depth bloom best. Too heavy for hot summer days, but perfect for fall and especially winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its bold, elegant presence and luxurious sillage make it outstanding for formal events and special evenings. It is less suited for office or daytime casual wear, and far too rich for sport or gym situations.

Obsidian

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and longevity, Obsidian isn't ideal for the office, but its sophisticated character makes it a superb choice for date nights and formal events. The warmth and depth of the iris-leather-wood complex shine in colder weather, though it can also work casually if applied lightly.
