I can’t believe you went with four sprays. I sprayed it once out of the box and it filled up the whole room instantly. I think it’s an amazing fragrance. Sure, it’s somewhat synthetic and in my opinion, for a younger guy, but I still think it smells great. Awesome fragrance with massive projection and longevity for a really great price.
Hawas is heavy plum and cinnamon. Watery notes. It's in between Invictus & Invictus Aqua due to the sweetness. It's an absolute beast. Great fragrance.
I really like this format. I’m sure it takes more time to make but doing an initial impression then actually cutting to when you’ve worn it more for the actual review is great. I like seeing first thoughts on frags but I hate when people try to “review” off of that first spray. Great job
Always looking to improve! I think I like it better too. I get time to spend more time with it. Sometimes I change my mind on fragrances from my first impressions.
Mont Blanc is my secret weapon. I actually enjoy that not a lot of people picked up on how good it is. I’m so upset to find out it’s discontinued this year
I asked for this for christmas and i got an even more expensive one that wasnt this one 😭😭😭😭 like i specifically said this one cuz it smells amazing and its cheaper im still greatful though
This one is my go to summer frag, I think Hawas has a bit of an overpowering and cloying opening definitely overly sweet but within 10min it really becomes quite pleasant, lasts 8+ hours for me If you haven’t already try daarej also by rasasi I’d love to know your thoughts
I think I have worn Hawas once in 2 years of owning. It’s just a mental thing I am starting to work through before spring. Every time I smell an aqua note my mind goes to stagnant water, like an abandoned swimming pool. So I have been mentally telling myself “thats not scum stank, it’s a carribean getaway. Lol”
Wore this yesterday for the first time because it’s gettin’ hot in Houston. Got a compliment off the jump. It’s not my personal fav, but the compliment was nice.
This thing is going to do wonders for me this summer!! It's so good. I feel like if the heat hits it, it's just going to blast off the skin. I've only worn it in the cold so I can't really tell what it will do in the heat.
Hawas is so good,i'm on the second bottle of it. It's one of my most complimented juices. I live in Finland,and compliments in here are rare😅 Hawas works great all year around,but it's best in warmer weather. Nice video👍
I just purchased a bottle. But I hope the projection and longevity is really good. It looks like I got the bottle that has the purple juice and not the blue juice. How is the projection and longevity bro?
Hello. I am from Poland and after a long analysis I finally bought this fragrance blindly and I am waiting for delivery. I paid 35$. Is it a good price?
One of a handful of scents I have a back up bottle. Have 50% left in my first bottle. Bought it years ago and don't remember paying too much for both bottles
Been using Montblanc Emblem Intense for a decade. Cant find it anymore in my country. Still searching for something similar. Already order the decant of Ferragamo Intense Leather. Will also try the decant for this Rasasi Hawas.
Hawas Will be much more fresh and sweet, Easy for high heat, But here are some that i found that might get closer to the smell of Montblanc Emblem Intense 1) Al Ibdaa Silver by Ard Al Zaafaran 2) Halloween Man 3) 1 Million
The problem with Hawas is that the hype drove the price up too high to be worth it given all the similar fragrances that are just as good if not better. Hawas is a great buy at $30, it's an absolute pass at $60 or 70. I've seen it as low as $45 which is fine, but by the same token I just bought 1 Million Cologne for $55, and a 100ml of Dunhill Icon Racing is $40, both of which are fragrances I'd reach for over Hawas, not to mention other clones and similar fragrances. I think Hawas is fine, but over hyped and falls into this weird middle spot. It's not a $20 cheapie like Abercrombie and Fitch First Instinct Together or Armaf El Cielo, it's not the real deal which is admittedly getting harder to find, it's not something specifically designer and better quality like Acqua di Gio Absolu, and it has competition from stuff in the middle. Again, not horrible, but I'd argue it's not an essential fragrance at all.
Someone else said its abit like cool water, it is slightly, i received it today 1st impression on skin , it changes alot its quite creamy and soapy so far , il give it more time
is it a bubble gum like invictus? Because I hate that... I dont remember about invictus acqua smell.. you mentioned it has MORE than invictus acqua.. but how about the OG?
Hawas has significantly less bubble gum sweetness if any. I pick up a lot more spicy aspects but I know some people pick up the bubble gum. It's very faint for me. I don't even pick it up. Invictus aqua is notorious for having that bubble gum sweetness.
@@jakeburrage9858 i love the bubblegum sweet and fresh Scent, my friend asked me what fragrance I wore and that he likes it but I gatekeep so I said jimmy Choo Man.
Just got mine in today... Smells like cool water wave which i have a 200ml of lol doesnt seem any stronger than wave. But ima have to spend some time with it
I bought this cologne last year. It was the blue juice. It didn’t last long or projected as much as reviews claimed. I didn’t wear it for an entire year and I just pulled it back out. It’s been lasting and projecting for 7+ hours. How strange?
Well I guess I’ll have to give in and try this stuff. That’s how I discovered Alexandria Fragrances Black Panther, and I’d never guess that I’d be such a fan of a clone.
I had this before. Gave me solid performance, about 8 hours. I sold it and recently got a 2024 January batch. Seems to be performing just the same, but it hasn’t even macerated yet for me. Should exceed the 2023 September batch in my opinion.
They both can do the same thing. Both fresh both clean. I think Hawas and Aqua lean in on the aquatic nature much more. Platinum almost had a sweetness with all that freshness. But it's more in line with a fresh fabric softener. Its got some Green Herby aspects. Both it's very fresh. Both can be wore in the same situations. Try them out and see whichever you like more. I like Hawas more then Platinum.
I know it’s compared to Invictus, but low-key smells like Eros to me. Either way save your money bc you probably ALREADY have this scent in your collection.
I haven't tried Hawas yet, but I do have Najdia, which I really like, I wanted a low cost freshie, as a dumb grab, Najdia does the job, if Hawas comes down from it's inflated price, I might pick one up eventually, when my Najdia runs out.
Idk, I think I might have gotten a bad batch or my skin chemistry is shit. It opens very sharp and overbearing for the first 10 minutes, then it smells good with medium projection for 2 hours, then becomes a skin scent for the next two hours and after that, you'd never know that i even had on a scent in the first place. it takes 4 hours for it to completely dissipate from my skin. As I said before, I might have shitty skin chemistry because this isn't the first cologne that completely disappears from my skin in less than 4 hours.
This review is random af. A sweaty mechanic? Hawas? Really? Either the juice or your nose is off lol Jokes aside, the sprayer for sure is Fd up. My bottle is from a few years back and sprayer is great.
I was hit in the face a handful of times as a kid. I wouldn't doubt it. 🤣👍 initially it smelled like it is covering up sweat. first spray was weird, I don't get that smell anymore. (Thank god.)

I wear Mont Blanc Legend Spirit. I love the way it smells and gets complements. I plan to buy Rasasi Hawas one day.
Did you ever buy it?
Uncommon opinion: stick with Legend Spirit. I think Hawas is getting a little overrated. LS is actually more mass appealing.
Mont Blanc is my secret weapon. I actually enjoy that not a lot of people picked up on how good it is. I’m so upset to find out it’s discontinued this year
@@BeastOfTheEast718Damn, was it?? I just bought a big ass 200ml bottle earlier this year too, blindly. Definitely one of my favorites.

Getting my bottle today. Your take on this juice was great can’t wait to try it. Video came at the perfect time. Thanks
Let me know how you like it!
I have a decant of this one coming, and sounds right up my alley as far as the notes listed... nice job, thanks!
I really love Hawas. I picked it up last spring and wore is throughout the warm weather. It's definitely a best buy. I'm glad you like it as well!
Is It sweet?or more aquatic😊
It's more sweet than aquatic. And quite strong.@@lorenzorossi2661
The initial blast is deceiving because to me it smells chemically but when you give it a couple minutes and on, that’s where it shines
Same! Right away I got a weird smell, But after a minute it just works!! Great stuff.

I paid £28 for Invictus Aqua 2018 (about 80ml left) Hawas is £60 on a good day!
How does it compare to Mont Blanc legend spirit? Which do you think is better in scent alone?
They're both really phenomenal.

at 4:49 Rasasi Hawas gave my man a fresh shave out of no where
Hawas is so powerful it made me 12 years old again.
Reminded me of white water rush the first time I sprayed on rasasi hawas ! Still like hawas as a cologne and my cap won’t click into place lol
Is it long lasting guys? How many hours fo you think it lasts?
Mine lasts for a very long time.
Hawas smells like the scent that comes out of Harrahs in Vegas in a men’s fragrance

Is hawas too sweet like that of ultramale? Or is it like of YSL y edp sweet?
Closer to YSL Y EDP sweet.

I know it’s compared to Invictus, but low-key smells like Eros to me. Either way save your money bc you probably ALREADY have this scent in your collection.
