This fragrance captures the essence of a Chinese summer — the tingling mint and cool eucalyptus of dusky mountain air, the aromatics of shiso, lavender and chamomile as the darkness deepens, the grounding woods and greens of cypress, vetiver and galbanum. A dream of summer rewritten — nostalgic and gently magical.

Hélène Napoleone was the daughter of Napoleon’s last lover, Albine de Montholon, and although it was never confirmed if the now-exiled Emperor was indeed her father, he did give her his name, so…? Her namesake fragrance is a vivacious bouquet of fruits and florals, headlined by sparkling pear and creamy magnolia. The charm deepens with the amber base, warmed by sandalwood and patchouli.

Perfumer: Enrico Buccella

A tribute to an icon and its amber-scented world – amber, ambar, alambre, ambra, ambrum, ambarum, Alambar. Built around a spiced cinnamon and honeyed vanilla heart of sublime quality, subtle tones have been amplified. Shimmering and slightly peppered bergamot reveals the full spectrum of the amber’s gourmand, floral, leathery and spicy notes. Its woody character is reinforced by addictive cocoa and the enveloping layers bring a warm mystical aura.

About Lion by Rayhaan

How does Lion by Rayhaan differ from these similar fragrances?
Lion combines aromatic freshness with a pronounced spicy warmth balanced by vanilla and amber. Some similar fragrances focus more on fresh, clean notes or sweeter floral and fruity accords, while others emphasise smoky or incense facets not as prominent in Lion.
What are the key spicy notes in Lion by Rayhaan?
The key spicy notes in Lion are cinnamon, clary sage, cumin, and patchouli. These contribute to its warm, aromatic, and slightly smoky character.
If I like Lion, should I choose a fragrance with more vanilla or more incense?
Choosing more vanilla will result in a sweeter, creamier scent, as seen in fragrances like Fig Porn or Sweet Lure. Opting for incense introduces smoky, resinous qualities, similar to Spice Must Flow or Ara(gon), offering a deeper, more mysterious aroma.
