Thank you for being honest and genuine…saw some other “reviewers” all at once hyping this up like it was the best cheapie ever…whenever a bunch of reviewers out of nowhere do that all at once in a short period of time I’ve learned not to fall for the “hype” for obvious rea$on$…once again thanks for keeping it real and truthful and honest.

[@chagoriver7159]

it was super obvious from the get go they were being paid to push it hard

[@patrickdunster3746]

@@chagoriver7159 Yah...sorry to burst your bubble, but we never paid anyone to review our products. Could it be that people find the quality and price to be compelling? Could it be that when people found out that we used Firmenich and Albert Morialls to make this fragrance, they understood that for the price, the quality was there? Come on, we have so many people reviewing our products, even Jeremey Fragrance, and yes we have had influencers ask for free stuff, etc., but trust me, we have never done this type of stuff. The product speaks for itself, good or bad.

[@allgenresbops4740]

So this is a Neeb and Michella hype job after they both attended Beauty World Dubai and did some business with the brand. I would have never seen that coming as I consider them to be the 2 most trustworthy "fragrance influencers" 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Some things even a blind person can see and I appreciate the honesty.

[@Haitham_el10]

I would say Ash from Gentscents is the MOST honest fragrance reviewer rn

[@patrickdunster3746]

They did business with us? Do you have proof of this? I ask because this is news to me. The guy actually came to our stand at Beauty World and he liked the fragrance quality and price point. As he looked at all our products, which is more than 30, and he reviewed only a few that should tell you, he reviews what he likes. Even Jeremey Fragrance has reviewed our products, and we certainly are not paying him either. We have many fragrance reviewers/influencers reviewing our products, some asking for free stuff etc., but we have made no deals with anyone. Better to get your FACTS straight before you make LIBEL comments.

[@plsdontvisit6220]

THIS IS WHY YOURE MY FAV REVIEWER!! Straight up honest and genuine review and not riding the bandwagon like other youtubers and overhyping. Love you Cat!! keep it up. I dont even trust any other reviewers anymore since they jus overhype a generic perfume. Stay safe and tc my fav reviewer!

[@alijan3372]

You saved countless money and precious time of frag lovers.... Thanks budy🎉

[@theemclane4037]

They are definitely pumping money into Neebs pockets 😭😭😭

Yeath for sure i bought pacific and imperia and both of the suck 😔

[@jameswall2284]

Yes i aint listening no more i bought that its not that great

Its pretty fcked up watching Neeb rn I bet most of his reviews were sponsored

[@1852live]

This is funny! 🤣

[@asifmohammed1371]

We should have frangitica version for YT reviewers . Thanks for your honest opinions as always. Much appreciated. Have a blessed day✌️

[@DhulqarTen]

Don't understand the hate. Got Ocean Rush and it's very nice and dirt cheap.

[@patrickdunster3746]

Plus it is made by Firmenich and Albert Morillas, so the quality is there. Appreciate your comments, hopefully you get to try of some of our other products.

[@ivanenrile]

No one's hating bro

[@nguyenviet3784]

In my country they hype it to 75 bucks wtf 😂

[@plsdontvisit6220]

also bcuz of youtubers like Neeb @Aromatix overhyping it for no reason. definetely not middle eastern standard since middle eastern perfumes can easily outperform western standard perfumes.

[@yigitadrbelli4880]

I also live in Vietnam. I almost bought it, then googled a bit then steered away quickly

[@captainsonypony2709]

Thanks for being honest and very much grateful for your work

[@ThePerfumeExperience_English]

Hey Nixon! I reviewed this a couple of weeks back and I’m so happy to know that my thoughts and yours resonate so much on this fragrance ❤

[@jaimecandelario5767]

I tried ocean rush, and I am not impressed 😢! To much hype. I wish I had seen your review before I purchased it. We agree on this fragrance 😮 Your star ⭐️ with me just went up 🆙!!! Thanks

[@saadmalik7288]

what went wrong

[@dr.muhammadazeemqureshi1109]

Excellent and honest review. It is cheap smelling and synthetic.

[@notsmn]

it smells good

[@amitanivfx]

What a superb review Bro. This is how reviews should be. Period.

[@marthamendonca274]

Hi dear Nixon, everybody like to listen to you because you're very honest and through you we know which is a good perfume. Thank you very much 🎉 Merry Christmas to you and your family .

Hello , smelly cat... Good evening from India

[@WilliamMiller-nr5gb]

Good morning! 👍😊❤️🙏

[@AbdulRahimRizwanKalsekar]

Great review! I personally love Rayhaan Ocean Rush for its refreshing and long-lasting scent. If anyone's curious, they do have a store at Sahara Centre where you can check it out in person.

[@zarlodious1]

This smells like a dupe of Missoni Wave, I fell for the hype. It is cheaper and lasts about the same

[@klauskroker3925]

I d like to see you review 1) Vintage Radio (Lattafa) 2) Liam Grey (Lattafa) 3) Somewoody (Zara)

[@Haitham_el10]

U can blind buy the first 2. Its a safe option and both have a good performance

[@ymugalul]

Oh boy, the influencers won't be happy with this review lol. Thanks for remaining honest always.

[@haze6720]

This is bs already so many ppl getting played by aromatix with his bs reviews everything he pushes is sponsored i’m tired of seeing people disappointed

[@pastichiorocker]

Not only Aromatix but blonde Curly as well. She's the queen of shilling ever since she moved to Dubai.

[@max_powers11]

Glad you've spoke out about rayhaan a very overrated perfume house which is being pushed hard by other fragrance reviewers for one reason or another

[@PatrickCharlesDunster]

Hi...why is it overrated in your mind? Please do consider when we made this brand that we were going with what our customers requested. They wanted larger volume, EDPs, so this product is a 100 ml product, and 20% EDP. Our clients wanted something affordable, and this product, is not that costly. We worked with Albert Morillas and Firmenich, 2 of the biggest names in the perfume industry, so the quality is there. In our part of the world, people look for "inspired by" or products that have similar scents to other products. I am not saying that longevity is for days, but one easily gets 4 to 6 hours, which is not bad considering. I can say that we are always out of stock for this product, and also Pacific, also in the Aqua Collection. We have people now from all over the globe contacting us and making orders. The people that came to us at Beauty World Middle East, came to us on their own accord, as they had heard of the brand. I think we must be doing something right, as we now have more people like Jeremy Fragrance and Joy Amin, reaching out to us and reviewing our products. So could it not be that because we check a lot of the boxes, our clients have asked us for that the product quality is there, and this is why it, "is being pushed hard"? LOL, let me tell you frankly, Rasasi does not pump a lot of money into social media, influencers, etc., so if influencers are writing about the product, there must be some quality.

[@max_powers11]

You can't seriously tell me that Albert Morillas had input into this fragrance. Nixon is spot on here with his honest review. I have fallen for the neeb hype myself of this and Pacific and will look at him in a completely different way now and so will others. I like the bottles they look quite good but I had one that was leaking where it hadn't been crimped properly. I fully understand that you are trying to hit a certain target audience and keep pricing low but the problem I believe you will find is after the aromatix, curly fragrance etc etc hype train has left the station will people buy a second bottle when they realise there is nothing unique smelling and poor performance even for freshies. For the prices you pay for rayhaan in the UK there are much better cheaper alternatives. Never judge a book by it's cover is the case here.

are you stupid or fool ?

[@junkies1111]

Ocean rush is ok. Too much hype on it. $20-$25 is a good buy.

[@franklinarias348]

Can you please review Rayhaan Imperial.

[@flynwitfam8230]

Excellent Kind Sir your review is always on point. I found it strange that you were unable to get it where you are located and that their isnt a store or brick and mortar place where you can buy like Rasasi hmmm anyway enjoyed your review and the suggestion made for the younger fellows because everyone wants to smell good. Carry on Kind Sir aka Smellaaaay Cat😊 "Smellaaaay

[@yotoulminville8705]

I smelled it pretty harsh ... its not bad but if you have a collection you will not wear it that much ... i say if you need a cheap freshie go get wave or teal

[@SudeepRath26]

Nixon, please stay the same and don't ever sell out like Neeb from Aromatix.

[@jhors7777]

Thank you Nixon. Happy holidays to you from Minnesota.

[@agnesdias9010]

Hi Nixon my hats off to you❤ you deserve the thumbs up.

[@ic9628]

Almost fell for it from Aromatix hype video. Saved £30

[@Shadow2The]

Generally disagree with you. I get no alcohol from this. It's not generic. Pacific is a little better but both are good. Pricepoint is amazing for the scent and longevity.

[@patrickdunster3746]

Appreciate the honest review. It could have been that this gentleman reviewing had an older batch. Since we used Firmenich & Albert Moriallas to make this product, I think the quality is there, would you not agree? It is meant to be a "freshie" "cheapie". I also agree with you about Pacific, which is what I prefer; it is like our Hawas, but less harsh. BTW...we have some new Rayhaan, hopefully out soon, such as the Adonis Collection.

[@FofosMoto]

Thats what im talking about 😅 never get the hype, specially to those hyper reviewer who doesnt know the real notes of perfume.

[@junboo8730]

Rasasi is in decline. Lattafa is making so much amazing stuff and Fragrance World is improving with every new bottle.

[@Alan.Gabbana]

Put Paris corner in their as well, they've been bringing out exceptional stuff lately

[@junboo8730]

@@Alan.Gabbana True true. Those Mancera’s clones are fire.

[@Haitham_el10]

Rasasi has only like 5 good fragrsnces. Hawas for him/her, Hawas ice but it is overpriced. Dareej. Entebaa and maybe la yuqawam but i dont like this scent profile.

[@jamesharding3755]

Got a free sample of Corium and I'm loving it.

[@jasinflugaj661]

this is a simple aquatic everyday summer fragrance especially if you're going to the gym (I'm sure you don't), doesn't smell alcoholic at all even on the opening, good sillage and projects well, pay for buck is a no brainer imo, I don't know who takes fragrance advices from you my guy...

[@JaycarDelosSantos]

Will this be better than nautica voyage? This is cheaper in my country than nautica. Which will perform better and smells less synthetic?

[@MyAlanwhite]

In your opinion if I pay a little more money what would you recommend to buy?

[@Nish_M]

Good review Nixon bhai SOTD Kajal Lamar You made me buy unique luxury kutay, Al haramain amber musk

[@BobbyJOnline]

It is VERY Overrated.. Opening is nice, dry down makes me want to wash it off my skin. Very basic fragrance. Especially if you’ve become more advanced in the fragrance world. I give it a 3.5/10

[@jekdelossantos7550]

This or Nautica Voyage?

[@TheVeenmeister]

I bought it as well because of the hype. Must say.. on my skin it is okay. Nothing very special, but you smell better than wearing nothing. For work environment, where you don't want to use your expensive ones for. I get about 4 hours of it before I need to respray. The sprayer itself... is simply horrific! Yes... it behaves like a cheap fragrance. It is easily surpassed by other fragrances. But it's also not terrible. Here in The Netherlands it is around €30,- which is too expensive for the Rayhaan line. For double I have something like Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir EDP. For what this is and it's pricepoint it's a 3 out of 10 for me. Not worth the hype, and I won't buy it again.

[@rizni421]

👍

[@javedsahab2927]

Please between Marj & Summer Oud, Which is better and more elegant ?

[@Nish_M]

Marj

[@franzchuongco]

Its a cheapie. Absolute steal imo! Frshie goodie which goes beyond its value.

[@patrickdunster3746]

Thanks for your comments. This was actually made for us by Albert Morillas. You might also like the other products in the Aqua Collection. Personally, I like the Pacific, which is our take or version of Invictus Aqua or Hawas, since Rayhaan is part of the Rasasi family.

[@cruzinthruspace]

It's good for the price, everyone else hyped it up

Sorry to tell you, but Rayhaan is actually not part of Rasasi. Yes, the owner of Rayhaan is part of the family that owns Rasasi, but all manufacturing, product development, etc.. is not done at Rasasi. He works totally separate to Rasasi. Everything is separate; separate warehouses, separate team, except for myself; separate billing and banking; separate stores and distributors, and affiliated partners. You should have reached out to us, and got a bit of clarification on this. I do appreciate the review, and t is something we can use for our other products. You should reach out to us for our new products, most of which we just launched at Beauty World Middle East. Thank you again for the review.
