Lion by Rayhaan has built a strong reputation within the fragrance community as one of the closest interpretations of Jean Paul Gaultier's Ultra Male, with reviewers frequently describing it as a near-identical clone with its own distinctive twist. Released in 2024, it's become one of Rayhaan's most talked-about men's releases.

The Story

Rayhaan is known for producing modern, trend-aware fragrances that lean into popular scent directions while keeping bold performance front and centre. Lion was built around Ultra Male's celebrated pear-lavender-amber DNA, and the fragrance community has consistently drawn direct comparisons between the two, with some reviewers even suggesting there's genuinely little reason to seek out the original once you've tried this version. Rayhaan's own marketing frames Lion as a tribute to strength, charm and undeniable appeal — a fragrance built for the confident, modern man.

The Scent

Lion opens with pear, lavender, mint and bergamot, a bright, juicy, minty-fresh introduction where the lavender plays a more prominent, powdery role than in a typical pear-forward fougère.

The heart brings in cinnamon, clary sage and cumin, adding a warm, spicy, slightly earthy depth that builds naturally out of the fresh opening into something bolder and more commanding.

The base settles into vanilla, amber, cedar and patchouli, a smooth, sweet-spicy amber finish that gives Lion its confident, long-lasting, nightlife-ready character.

An Honest Note on Performance and Opening

Reported performance on Lion varies more than most fragrances in our range, and we want to be upfront about that. The majority of reviewers describe genuinely excellent projection and longevity — some reporting 9 to 10 hours on skin and well over a day on clothing — while a smaller number report a much shorter wear time, sometimes attributing this to a specific batch. Several reviewers specifically recommend checking batch codes with sellers and note that certain batches benefit from a short maturing period after opening. The scent profile itself is consistently well received, balancing the original's juicy pear sweetness with a more prominent, powdery lavender twist.

Pro Tip

Because Lion is a genuinely strong projector, one or two sprays is plenty for most wearers — save it for evenings and enclosed social settings where its bold presence can really shine, rather than daytime office wear.
