What is Rayhaan Nocturno a dupe of?
Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum is the reference for Rayhaan Nocturno, and I'd give the scent similarity 94%, or 9.4 out of 10. If you already like Sauvage EDP, Nocturno would be a sensible one to try.
That rating is about the scent. It doesn't tell you which bottle will last longer on your skin, or which one you'll end up reaching for more often. Those are still worth checking before you replace a favorite.
Why the Sauvage comparison makes sense
The note panel on Rayhaan's Nocturno page lists bergamot, mint and pepper, followed by lavender, geranium and pink pepper. Amberwood and cedar finish the list. Citrus, aromatic notes and wood give you a useful idea of the direction.
Dior's Sauvage EDP description focuses on bergamot and vanilla absolute. The two brands describe their fragrances differently, so matching every note on paper isn't how I'd judge the similarity. My 94% rating belongs to how close the scents are.
In owner reviews of Nocturno, Sauvage EDP comes up repeatedly. Some reviewers also hear parts of Sauvage EDT or Bleu de Chanel. That makes the exact reference worth spelling out: my comparison here is with Sauvage EDP.
Would I buy Nocturno instead?
At 94%, I'd give it serious consideration if I wanted this scent style and the current offer made sense. I'd start with a sample, especially if I already owned Dior. Having two very similar fragrances can be useful, but it can also leave one bottle gathering dust.

Make sure you're buying the right Nocturno
This page compares the original Rayhaan Nocturno with Dior Sauvage EDP. Nocturno Elixir is a separate release. Sauvage Parfum, Elixir and Extrait are different fragrances too; the 94% rating doesn't carry over to those pairs.
