Equinox

Equinox is a 2026 unisex eau de parfum from the UAE house Rayhaan, sold in a 100 ml bottle with a sage green finish and a gold cap. It opens with juicy grapefruit and orange blossom, a sparkling citrus and white flower start that wearers describe as airy and almost sherbet-like. The heart pairs sambac jasmine with white tea, which keeps the flowers fresh and slightly green instead of heavy. The drydown is where the creamy side shows. Vanilla and sandalwood settle into a soft, milky warmth that sits close to the skin. Some wearers pick up a lactonic, orange-creamsicle sweetness. Others find a clean, spa-like softness that tips towards soapy on certain skin. The grapefruit lingers well into the wear, and the sandalwood stops the vanilla from turning sugary. Performance is moderate. Most reports put it at a few hours of clear presence, with a fainter trail on skin and longer life on clothes. It is a light, close scent rather than a room-filler, so it suits days when you want to smell fresh and polished without announcing yourself. It reads as spring and early summer first, but works through most of the year outside the hottest days. Equinox is widely compared with Maison Mataha Printemps Blanc, and most reviewers rate the match as very close, a little more citrusy and a little lighter on the skin. It also draws comparisons with Nishane Hundred Silent Ways in the white floral and vanilla space. At its price it is an easy blind buy if that style appeals, and a sensible way to test whether you like the genre before spending more.
