Pharaoh

Name: Pharaoh Eau de Toilette
Brand: Rayhaan

Rayhaan Pharaoh is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Pharaoh opens with Liquor, Cade, Cardamom, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Suede, Coffee, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Guaiac Wood, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Labdanum. Rayhaan's Pharaoh carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Pharaoh is a deeply polarising fragrance - you’ll either adore its smoky, leathery depths or recoil from its intensity. If you like your scents bombastic and unapologetically bold, this could be your new signature, but it's certainly not for the faint of heart.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and sillage, Pharaoh is far too assertive for office wear, potentially overwhelming colleagues. It's perfectly suited for dates and formal events where its powerful, sophisticated warmth can truly shine, yet it's generally too intense for casual daytime use or any sporting activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Boldly kicking off with a boozy, spicy hit of liquor and cardamom, quickly followed by the smoky intensity of cade and saffron. The heart unfolds into a rich blend of robust coffee and supple suede, adding a warm, luxurious texture. As it settles, a foundation of creamy vanilla, tonka bean, and amberwood emerges, underpinned by deep, resinous labdanum and guaiac wood. This creates a complex, almost ancient tapestry of scent that lingers for ages.
