To me Hawas smells like the original Invictus, both are a purple juice! ❤that Hawas better!! Def wait until the price goes down on the flanker sotd Givenchy Gentleman Edp 🔥
I was hoping the mint would be stronger but still sounds pretty solid! I have 2 bottles of the original to burn through so maybe a pickup early next year. Appreciate your honest impressions Randy and jumping on these new releases to give us the genuine lowdown. I trust you, Jeff and Joy more than anyone 🙌🏻
It’s definitely good and I really enjoy the opening but as it dries it got closer and closer to hawas that people can find it redundant. I’m glad to have a bottle for sure
Hey Randy ! Well, "if at all"...I would purchase this only when the price goes down...lol. I love the og Hawas......! Way better than Invictus Aqua...IMO. I have the deeper purple juice one.
As long as it projects and last while being a freshie, this is already a winner. There are too many good fragrances that people barely can smell on you. Thats why cdnim(worse snelling fragrance) got more compliments than aventus (much better smelling fragrance) because a projection and longevity
Sounds like it’s gonna be good but I am a bit down the mint isn’t shining but I’m still excited as I love Hawas. Sounds like this will also allow me not to have get MYSLF for now. Who knows maybe I’ll be lucky and the mint shines more on my skin 🤞
Hey Randy, thanks for the great review, always like to hear your thoughts on here and with Jeff / TLTG …. So I have 2 bottles of Hawas , love that stuff, I was really excited about this release but…. 🤨Lol. I’m gonna get this or Myslf on fragbuy soon, which is the better pickup, I’m honestly leaning towards waiting a few months on Ice for a price drop I’m thinking
I appreciate that bud! Ya Ice is def a good frag but it smells like a lot of things like Hawas, inv aqua, MYSLF, A&F together then dries to more of a slightly fresher less watery Hawas with a more tart bubble gum tone. Performance is great tho
It’s good don’t get me wrong but super redundant after like 25 minutes. It just turns into a tart hawas. I’m happy to own it and I will wear it and I still give it an 8.0 but it’s not a full love for me because my expectations were high.
@@FragranceDOUD For me, I don't have OG Hawas. But I have PR Invictus. They're different enough (ice & Invictus). I think I will enjoy it even more in the warm Summer 🌞 days. It also as time to sit/macerate 👍🤓
@@Joel_Matrix I’m def glad to have a bottle and ya hawas to me doesn’t smell much like invictus Aqua like people say. If I hadn’t tried the dna before this would def be something special but since I have I still find it above average but redundant if u own the original hawas as far as wearability
I had a feeling this would be a kind of disappointing release. I actually had this ordered a week or so ago and I ended up cancelling before it shipped. Something told me to wait until it got cheaper. I will stick with the OG for now and if the flanker is set at a good price then I will snag it up.
I don’t like many of the club de nuits I’ve always found clones to be just lesser forms of the originals and since Rasasi Hawas isn’t a clone and higher quality than most armafs id say that
Honestly Rasasi is basically a middle eastern version of paco rabannes invictus line for the most part. I’ve only tried a few option but the brand could easily sit in Macys and no one would bat an eye as it’s very mass appealing
I’ve been wondering if Covid has affected peoples sense of smell 🤔 I know a couple people that after they had Covid they hated their favorite fragrances. I luckily haven’t had Covid yet and losing or it affecting my sense of smell scares me 😳
See I don’t find the original overly synthetic I mean yes it’s mostly synthetic ingredients but I find it quite smooth in all fairness for the price I mean. This is a tad more noticeable is all. But I get ya
Did some random testings @ Macy's today. Ralph's Club Elixir (must buy !)......JPG Le Male Elixir (HATED IT ! (sorry). The og Le Male is one of my most disliked fragrances of all time ! Although I love Le Male Le Parfum (so different than the og IMO). YSL-Myslf.....(Meh !....just.."ok"). Mont Blanc Explorer Platinum (must buy). D&G Devotion (women's scent) (over-hyped, IMHO similar to Light Blue Sun but with more lemon cake/floral vibe.) Invictus Victory Elixir (must buy). Coach Green (meh.."so-so"). 1 Million Royale (must buy).
Don’t apologize for le male elixir I said in my last live I switched my opinion again I don’t think it’s for me. Ralphs club elixir my wife doesn’t like and I find it just ok but Iris has never been my cup of tea. Ysl MYSLF I started to like more after wearing like 10 times, I dislike Mont Blanc explorer platinum and I mean a lot. Victory elixir I like but I sold because it’s to strong for my liking. My wife made me wash it off. Coach green I think is a great random pull. Honestly for me this year sucks for new releases. Nothing stands out for me outside of Spicebomb infrared EDP 1 million Royal and boss the scent Magentic but even with those I have better ones in my collection in their same lines. RC elixir I like the Parfum much more and explorer platinum I like the original like 100 times more personally. I can say u have a lot of MUST BUYS on your list but I feel like if you actually bought them u would change your mind on at least 2 of the 4. Explorer platinum dries down way different and much more boring than the opening and invictus victory elixir is good smelling it just becomes nauseatingly sweet after a while
I will have to try RC Parfum again...lol....The Mont Blanc surprised me....But I LOVE the og.....I will do a better test on Victory Elixir b4 I buy it.@@FragranceDOUD
Happy you got your scent of smell back and hope you recover fully soon
Been there glad you're doing better and the live stream was a good one
Appreciate you! Thanks for the kind words
Hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the video!
Appreciate it and you’re welcome!!!
Sounds good! Glad they didn’t steal to far from the OG but still probably going to wait until discounted in spring
Ya that makes sense for sure especially because it’s fresher

Great review! I agree it def turns into like a tart hawas. Redundant to that and even MYSLF in the open
Appreciate it and ya I do agree it’s redundant to have but I still enjoy it
Hey Randy ! Well, "if at all"...I would purchase this only when the price goes down...lol. I love the og Hawas......! Way better than Invictus Aqua...IMO. I have the deeper purple juice one.
Ya it’s definitely much better imo I got mine for 60 so I’m fine with that I’d say $40-$50 would prob be ideal tho

From what I’ve heard from most the mint isn’t really prevalent for them but for ur sake I hope so to
My bottle arrives in a few days!
Yaaa buddy can’t wait to hear ur thoughts

Ya I mean it’s good it’s just quite redundant so good call
And I trust the King Randy just hate I pulled the trigger lol my FOMO is so bad 😂. Great assessment Randy🤜🏽🤛🏽💯🫡
Which to get rassi hawas or club de Nuit iconic for young 20s men in hot humid weather
I don’t like many of the club de nuits I’ve always found clones to be just lesser forms of the originals and since Rasasi Hawas isn’t a clone and higher quality than most armafs id say that
Man I would love it then cause I love myslf. But I don't know if I would like that house
Honestly Rasasi is basically a middle eastern version of paco rabannes invictus line for the most part. I’ve only tried a few option but the brand could easily sit in Macys and no one would bat an eye as it’s very mass appealing
I’ve been wondering if Covid has affected peoples sense of smell 🤔 I know a couple people that after they had Covid they hated their favorite fragrances. I luckily haven’t had Covid yet and losing or it affecting my sense of smell scares me 😳
Ya I was affected but not permanently
I'll wait for the price to drop
Good idea
So in essence it’s redundant if you own hawas. I’ve gone through 2 bottles since hawas dropped in 2015
See ya I didn’t wanna fully say that because it does have its differences but they are few
And just when I didn’t think Hawas could get any more synthetic lol
See I don’t find the original overly synthetic I mean yes it’s mostly synthetic ingredients but I find it quite smooth in all fairness for the price I mean. This is a tad more noticeable is all. But I get ya

Rasasi killed most their perfumes line by reformulation
Therefore, whether their perfume new release or old same issues 🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
