Overview
Rayhaan is a fragrance house based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The brand, which trades as Rayhaan Perfumes, was founded by a perfumer named Khalid, who describes 2020 as the year he set out to establish his own independent presence in perfumery [2]. A specialist retailer instead dates the house to 2024 [4]; the earlier year is the one Rayhaan gives on its own site and is corroborated by another independent source [5].
The brand builds its identity around Arabian perfumery aimed at a broad audience, pairing what it calls luxury with affordability. It sells directly online in the UAE and reaches the United States and Europe through independent distributors.

Origin & founders
According to Rayhaan, its founder Khalid was born and raised in Dubai and holds a degree in finance and marketing, but pursued fragrance as his main interest. The company frames the launch as a personal venture, describing it as an alliance between his own ideas and the work of what it terms world-renowned perfumers [2]. An external retailer bio echoes this account, noting a background in finance and marketing and a long-standing interest in the craft [5].
The two independent sources that describe the founding both place it in Dubai in 2020 [2][5]. A third-party retailer listing gives 2024 instead [4]; that date may reflect a later market launch rather than the founding itself.
Philosophy & positioning
Rayhaan's stated concept is that "no two persons are alike; hence no two perfumes should be too," and the house says it aims to offer a full spectrum of olfactory styles, from woody and marine to citrus and amber. Its tagline is "Luxury + Affordability," and the company says it seeks the highest-quality ingredients while holding that perfume should be accessible to everyone [2].
The brand also foregrounds an "East Meets West" identity. Its logo, it says, was designed by a local calligraphy artist as a modern take on Arabic calligraphy, intended to honour the brand's Middle Eastern roots while appealing to a contemporary audience.
Products
Rayhaan produces perfumes for men and women, organised into collections such as Aqua, Color, Florale, Leather and Wood. Products shown on its site include Rayhaan Elixir, Pacific Aura and Nocturno. More recent releases named on the site include Azul, Pharaoh, Wolf and Nocturno Elixir.
Current status
Rayhaan is active. It operates an e-commerce site with current collections and recent product launches, with the most recent visible activity dated to 2024 [1]. Distribution spans its UAE home market, the United States through TRX Solutions Inc, and Europe through Eskay Trading, based in the Netherlands [3].
