Rakaan

Swiss Arabian Rakaan is an Eau de Parfum. Rakaan opens with Lime and Grapefruit, and settles into a heart of Lotus. Swiss Arabian's Rakaan carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its bold, citrusy oud or you'll be convinced you've doused yourself in bathroom cleaner. It demands patience and a certain bravado to pull off, but for those who get it, Rakaan is a force to be reckoned with.

Given its strong projection and longevity, Rakaan might be overwhelming for an office environment. It performs well in formal settings and can make a bold statement on a date, though its divisive nature means it's not a 'safe' choice for all casual outings.

About

Rakaan opens with a sharp, zesty burst of grapefruit and lime, bright and almost abrasive. This vibrant citrus quickly makes way for a clean, aquatic lotus accord, which provides a surprisingly smooth counterpoint. The base settles into a robust blend of earthy oud and warm sandalwood, creating a rich, woody depth that grounds the initial freshness. A lingering, fresh spicy and powdery quality weaves throughout, giving it a distinctive, complex finish.
