The five RYZE eau de parfum bottles in 100 ml, Leen first, standing above the same five in 50 ml

Choose a perfume gift by what the person already wears, then by the occasion. If you know their current scent, pick the RYZE scent from the same family. If you do not, start with the house's two best sellers: Leen for her and Como for him. Then order early enough for delivery, which takes two to eight business days from dispatch depending on the governorate.

Match the scent to the person

The surest guide is the perfume they already reach for. Find its family and pick the RYZE scent that shares it.

If they wear Give Why
Florals, rose, fruity sweet scents Leen Pear and lychee, Damascena rose, vanilla and musk
Citrus, fresh woods Como Grapefruit over ambroxan, vetiver and patchouli
Green, herbal, clean scents Nova Apple and ginger, sage and juniper, amberwood
Amber, warm and sweet woods Sweet Amber Black grapes, guaiac wood, amber and cedar

Match the scent to the occasion

  • A birthday, an anniversary, a date: Leen, made for special occasions and date nights, or Sweet Amber for someone who likes warmer, darker scents.
  • A new job or a graduation: Nova, made for everyday wear and the office.
  • A summer trip or a week at the coast: Como, made for the beach and the Sahel.

50 ml or 100 ml

With daily use, a 50 ml bottle lasts about two to three months and a 100 ml bottle about four to six. For a first try of a scent, the 50 ml is the natural choice. If the person already wears Leen and loves it, the 100 ml keeps them supplied for a season or more. Each bottle arrives in its own RYZE box.

Delivery: what to plan for

RYZE delivers through Bosta across Egypt. Orders confirmed before 5 PM Cairo time on a business day, Sunday to Thursday, are processed the same or the next business day; the estimates count from dispatch, when Bosta collects the parcel.

  • Greater Cairo and Giza: 2 to 4 business days
  • Alexandria: 3 to 5 business days
  • Delta and Canal governorates: 3 to 6 business days
  • Upper Egypt: 4 to 7 business days
  • Red Sea, North Coast, Sharm and remote areas: 5 to 8 business days

The checkout shows the delivery fee, and any free-delivery offer applies automatically. The full terms are in the shipping policy.

Sending it straight to them

Enter their name, address and phone number at checkout and Bosta delivers to their door; the courier calls before arrival. Pay online, by Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Apple Pay, so the courier does not ask them for cash: with cash on delivery, the person who receives the parcel pays.

If the scent does not suit them

Each order is eligible for one exchange to a different scent in the same size within 14 days of delivery, as long as the bottle is intact, lightly used and in its original box. RYZE books the courier pickup at no charge. You start the exchange on the Returns & Exchanges page with the order number and the email or phone used at checkout, so keep the order confirmation.

Questions

Leen, RYZE's floral eau de parfum for her and one of its two best sellers: pear and lychee, Damascena rose and incense, vanilla and musk. If she already wears warm, sweet scents, Sweet Amber, an oriental woody unisex scent of black grapes, guaiac wood and amber, is the other choice.

Como, one of RYZE's two best sellers, suits a man who likes fresh citrus and wood, and it is made for summer and the beach. Nova suits a man who works in an office or prefers clean, herbal scents. For something warmer and sweeter, Sweet Amber is unisex.

Give the 50 ml when the scent is a guess, a first try of a new family. If the person already loves Leen, the 100 ml lasts about four to six months of daily wear, against two to three for the 50 ml. Each bottle arrives in its own RYZE box.

RYZE delivers through Bosta: 2 to 4 business days from dispatch to Greater Cairo and Giza, 3 to 5 to Alexandria, 3 to 6 to the Delta and Canal, 4 to 7 to Upper Egypt, and 5 to 8 to the Red Sea, North Coast, Sharm and remote areas. Business days run Sunday to Thursday.
