The Story
Obsidian by Rayhaan opens with a striking blast of bright citrus that immediately yields to the powdery, luxurious elegance of iris. As it settles onto the skin, a rich, supple leather heart emerges, creating a deeply masculine and sophisticated aura. The drydown is a masterful blend of warm woods, where creamy sandalwood and robust cedar intertwine with the dark, animalic depth of oud and musky ambrette.
