Leen, explained: RYZE's floral perfume for her

Leen is RYZE's floral eau de parfum for women. It opens on pear, lychee and grapefruit, moves to Damascena rose with incense and vetiver, and settles into vanilla, musk and Evernyl. Wear it for special occasions, date nights, nights out and formal evenings, in fall and winter.

The name and the bottle

Leen, لين in Arabic, means softness, and the scent was written for the woman whose softness is her strength. The frosted pink bottle carries the name in Arabic script, the only RYZE bottle that does, and on the store Leen wears the Best Seller ribbon. Master perfumers blend it in Cairo, like every RYZE scent.

How Leen develops on skin

• Top: pear, lychee, grapefruit. The first impression is juicy and bright, with the grapefruit keeping the sweetness of the pear and lychee in check.
• Heart: Damascena rose, incense, vetiver. Damascena is the Damask rose. Incense gives it a quiet, smoky line and vetiver an earthy one.
• Base: vanilla, musk, Evernyl. Warm vanilla and soft musk settle into the skin, and Evernyl adds a soft mossy note. The base is the part you smell on yourself at the end of the evening.

When to wear it

Leen belongs to the evening and the cooler months. In summer, wear it after sunset. Spray it on moisturised skin and give the inside of a collar or the hem of a cotton top one spray as well; the guide to making perfume last in Egypt's heat explains why a sprayed collar keeps the scent through the day while skin loses it faster in the heat.

Choosing a size

With daily use, a 50 ml bottle lasts about two to three months and a 100 ml bottle about four to six; worn only in the evenings, either lasts longer. Once you know you love it, the 100 ml keeps you supplied for a season or more. For Leen as a gift, the perfume gift guide covers sizes, delivery and exchanges.

Leen and the other RYZE scents

Leen is the one RYZE scent written for her. Sweet Amber, a unisex scent, pairs with Leen: rose runs through both, and Sweet Amber takes it somewhere darker, with black grapes, guaiac wood and amber, for the nights you want something deeper. Malachite, the other unisex scent, is greener, with bitter orange and petitgrain over jasmine sambac, ylang-ylang and pink pepper. For a couple, Leen sits beside Como, the scent for him that also wears the Best Seller ribbon. The guide to all five RYZE scents sets them side by side.

If Leen does not suit you, you can return it within 14 days of delivery while the bottle is intact, lightly used and in its original box, or exchange it once for a different scent in the same size. RYZE books the courier pickup at no charge. On a change of mind the outbound delivery fee is not refunded, and if your order shipped free, the standard fee may be deducted from the refund. The return policy has the full terms, and more for her is under perfume for women.
