Rayhaan Tiger (Inspired by Penhaligon's Halfeti)

Rayhaan Tiger is an extrait de parfum that offers a refined take on Penhaligon’s Halfeti, enhancing longevity and projection while introducing a smoother, sweeter opening. The signature richness remains, but with a warmer, tea-infused start that transitions seamlessly into a deep, woody-leathery dry-down.

Scent Profile

Opening: A distinctive Rooibos tea accord replaces the bold spice of Halfeti, creating a warm and subtly sweet introduction. This is complemented by the fresh zest of bergamot and grapefruit, the aromatic touch of cypress leaf, and the exotic warmth of saffron and cardamom.

Heart: As the tea-like sweetness fades, a dark, velvety rose emerges, joined by the spicy warmth of nutmeg and the soft floral elegance of jasmine. At this stage, Rayhaan Tiger begins to closely resemble Halfeti.

Base: A luxurious blend of oud, cedar, and leather anchors the fragrance, deepened by creamy sandalwood, amber, and musk. The vanilla and tonka bean add a touch of smooth sweetness, balancing the intensity of the woods and resins.

Performance & Longevity

Longevity: 10-12 hours, significantly outlasting Halfeti due to its extrait de parfum strength.

Projection & Sillage: Strong, with a bold yet refined presence that lingers effortlessly.

Real-Life Comparisons

Picture yourself in an ornate lounge adorned with dark woods and rich leather, sipping a warm, spiced tea as the air fills with the subtle aroma of fresh roses and amber incense. Over time, the scene transforms into a deep, smoky atmosphere, where oud, musk, and leather create a lasting impression of confidence and mystery.

Final Thoughts

Rayhaan Tiger takes the luxury of Halfeti and refines it with a smoother opening and enhanced performance. It’s an excellent choice for those who love dark, woody, and resinous scents but appreciate a touch of warm tea sweetness before the intensity unfolds.
