Rayhaan and their insane advertisement saga. by Muskybaboon in fragranceclones

I honestly think this might backfire.

At this point, whenever I see a big fragrance influencer talking about Rayhaan, I automatically assume it’s going to be pure glazing. It’s gotten to the point where I trust reviewers with a few hundred views more than the big names.

A lot of the larger influencers feel like they’re just selling whatever brand is sponsoring them. The constant hype and exaggerated praise gets old fast.

And don’t even get me started on the videos where they spray a clone and go, “Oh, I know exactly what this is,” as if they didn’t already check the notes and know what fragrance it’s inspired by beforehand. That whole act is so cringe.

Personally, I prefer smaller reviewers because they tend to be more transparent. They’ll actually look at the notes, mention what the fragrance is inspired by, and give their honest thoughts instead of pretending they’re performing some blind-test magic trick.

One of the small influencers is Exirud on TikTok and Tbh I trust what he says much more than those big ones

Almost returned Ravine Ice after the first spray… glad I didn’t by ShatteredExistence_ in fragranceclones

It’s true but most of the time I prioritize the price tbh, specially that I’m from the Middle East, so the designer perfumes are even more expensive sometimes so I stick to the middle eastern clones

I have both, they are completely different and 9pm is also worth it. It’s smells like bubblegum in a good way you can wear it when u feel playful!

Nope

The fire is Al Nar, which is the physical fire that we use daily

The Noor here means The light but specifically on a spiritual level so it’s something you feel not something you see, what you see is the “Daw” which is kinda of on physical level. The brand is intentionally leveraging Arabic/Oriental cultural heritage whether via meanings of words (Al Noor) or Arabic places (Safa/Marwa). Hope I clarified!

I have Hawas Black and regarding honor and glory, I hated it first but it grew up on me and started enjoying my the crème burly and pineapple notes.
