Rayhaan has been quietly building one of the most consistent ME clone lineups, with hits like Lion, Pacific Aura Shop ↗, and Tonquin Giza Shop ↗. This trio shows their range: a fresh cedar, a sweet floral, and a straight summer scent. One of these is built for exactly one job, and it does it perfectly.
How do the three compare?
| Perfume | Created | Character | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cedrus Blanc | Jul 27 | Bergamot, orange blossom, cedarwood | Fresh woody, daily wear |
| Nava Sol | Jul 27 | Sun-soaked fruit, orange blossom, violet | Sweet floral, evenings |
| Pacific Aloha | Jul 25 | Blood orange, melon, lemon; candied watermelon, coconut; sea notes, amberwood, cacao | Fresh summer, vacation |
What does each one smell like?
Cedrus Blanc
Citrus Woody Fresh
Official description: bergamot sparks the opening, orange blossom keeps it flowing, cedarwood brings the subtle intensity. Rayhaan calls it "an impeccable balance of freshness and intensity."
Cedrus Blanc is the fresh woody answer to the category that has dominated designer releases for years, minus the blue generic feel. The bergamot opening is bright, the orange blossom softens it, and the cedarwood base gives it staying power. It is simple, well-executed, and built for heat. If you want a clean cedar that doesn't smell like every other bottle in the mall, this is worth a decant.
- Best for: Gym, office, humid weather
- Skip if: You already own a bergamot-cedar freshie you love
Nava Sol
Fruity Floral Sweet
Official description: a deep sweetness rises first, rich like sun-soaked fruit, then softens into the glow of orange blossom, before violet lingers. Rayhaan calls it "a fragrance that exists between culture and class."
Nava Sol is the evening pick. The fruit opening is rich rather than sharp, the orange blossom keeps it warm, and the violet drydown gives it an old-money finish. It sits in the same sweet-floral family that has dominated ME releases this year, but the violet makes it distinctive. This is a date-night scent.
- Best for: Parties, dinners, sweet-floral lovers
- Skip if: You want fresh, not sweet
Citrus Watermelon Summer
Official description: a splash of citrus, a wave of watermelon, and a fresh Hawaiian escape in every spray. Rayhaan calls it "summer without an end." DB-verified notes (id 8515, Fresh family): blood orange, melon, lemon top; candied watermelon, coconut heart; sea notes, amberwood, cacao base.
This is the fun one. Candied watermelon is rare in ME fragrances, and the blood-orange-melon combo is built for exactly one job: smelling like a vacation in Indian heat. It is not complex and it is not trying to be. If you want a cheap, cheerful summer scent that makes you feel like you are on a beach, this is it.
- Best for: Vacations, beach days, casual summer wear
- Skip if: You need a fragrance for office or evening. This is pure summer fun.

Why did Rayhaan release three at once?
Rayhaan dropped three scents that barely overlap. Fresh woody, sweet floral, summer fruit. That is deliberate. Rayhaan has been covering more categories per wave than most ME houses, which matters if you are building a collection on a budget.
The trio also shows their pricing philosophy: no oud bomb, no niche pretension, just solid perfumes at ME prices. If the sweet-gourmand wave has worn you out, Cedrus Blanc and Pacific Aloha are a palate reset.
Which one should you buy?
- Want a fresh woody for daily wear? Cedrus Blanc. The pick of the trio.
- Want a sweet floral for evenings? Nava Sol. Rich fruit, elegant violet drydown.
- Want summer in a bottle? Pacific Aloha. Blood orange, melon, and candied watermelon, zero thinking required.
