What Is Rayhaan Obsidian a Dupe Of?

What is Rayhaan Obsidian a clone of?

Rayhaan Obsidian is a clone of Dior Homme Parfum. Iris, orange, leather and woods explain the connection on paper. There's one detail to sort out before shopping, though: Dior Homme Parfum has an original 2014 version and a different 2025 release. The note comparison below uses the original profile.

How do the notes line up?

Obsidian lists iris and orange at the top, leather and rose in the middle, then sandalwood, ambrette, oud and cedar in the base. The original Dior Homme Parfum pyramid lists the same notes, with more specific names such as Tuscan iris and Italian orange.

That's a useful connection if you're interested in the iris-and-leather side of Dior Homme. We'd look at the full combination, including the rose and woody base, rather than pick Obsidian just because it contains iris. Plenty of fragrances use that note without following this profile.

What about Dior Homme Parfum 2025?

The 2025 fragrance takes iris in a different direction, with an amber accord, patchouli and vetiver in its description. It shouldn't be treated as the same reference just because the name on the bottle is similar.

If you've only tried the newer Dior, keep that distinction in mind. We're using the older iris, orange and leather pyramid to explain Obsidian's listed notes here; that isn't a claim that it reproduces every detail of the original. Matching lists don't tell you the balance, texture or strength of either fragrance.

Which Dior should you look for?

Check the edition when buying a Dior sample or comparing listings. Dior Homme, Dior Homme Intense and Dior Homme Parfum are separate fragrances, and the Parfum name alone doesn't settle the 2014-versus-2025 question. Ask the retailer which version they're selling if the listing doesn't make it clear.

Is Obsidian worth a look?

We'd consider it if iris, leather, rose and woods sound appealing. For a resemblance check, try it alongside the specific Dior edition you care about. Use the retailer cards and product pages to compare the available bottles, sizes and packaging before ordering.
