Helwa

After eyeing this perfume for over a year, I finally took the plunge and bought a bottle. And when I say Helwa is everything I wanted it to be and more, I mean it! This is so yummy!! It does remind me a lot of Mazzolari Vaniglia and Vanille West Indies, except Helwa has a toffee note that really comes through in the dry down that gives it more depth, and is not oily like those two are. Helwa is pretty potent on first spray and then settles down after a few minutes and gives me a more intimate scent bubble for the rest of the wear, and lasts a good eight hours or more on me. The bottle is a gorgeous deep blue with a heavy golden cap adorned with crystals at the base, and looks stunning on my vanity! I would say that if you own Vanille West Indies or Vaniglia, you don't necessarily need Helwa as it's pretty similar, and quite expensive, but I HIGHLY recommend if you collect sweet vanilla perfumes like me!

Helwa by Ahwaz 😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥 In my opinion, it's the best sweet vanilla and caramel fragrance on the market may some people that are not into sweet perfumes don't like it that much but if u love your delicious caramel, and vanilla perfumes you will be in love with this one. It's warm, powdery, delicious, and smooth, and the performance also it's a beast mood. I did blind buy it based on reviews and what I heard about it and now sitting on the top shelf of all my perfume like a queen. Like I think this will be my signature scent from now on. And their customer service is outstanding, I bought from many companies before but never had such an amazing experience. 100% Worth it, plus they send you some samples from other in the collection too.

Oh man, let me tell you about this perfume Helwa. It's like a sweet treat for your nose! Picture a blend of vanilla, caramel, and taffy all rolled into one. It's seriously delicious. But here's the best part - after a while, it gets this sweet powdery vibe that's just amazing. I'm hooked on this stuff! I'm already onto my second bottle. So, if you're all about gourmand scents and you want something warm and delicious, Helwa is the way to go. It's like a little slice of heaven in a bottle. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I don't understand how some people can say this perfume is like body mist ,is their noses have problem or something ? 🤔 🤣 For me it's amazing and it's beastmood perfume .10/10

Beautiful soft, fluffy, caramelized vanilla. I can understand the comparisons to Vanigila as they both smell like the texture of marshmallows. No marshmallow listed but a very airy, sweet, powdery scent. The toffee makes this slightly heavier than Vanigila since that has orchid listed. I finally bought a full size bottle of this and I adore it! I do layer it with the Dapper Fragrance perfume oil inspired by this scent and that really intensifies the caramel bubble this engulfs you in ☺️

After waiting for almost a year, I finally pulled the trigger and bought Helwa. This was a blind buy but since I own Vaniglia and Sucre Noir, I thought it’d be a safe purchase. Oh my gosh, it’s even better than the two I mentioned!!! Helwa is such an amazing and rich caramel/toffee fragrance, it’s so delicious and so cozy, I am besotted 😍😍😍 I highly recommend it if you love sweet fragrance with caramel, toffee and vanilla. Absolutely wonderful ✨🤍✨🤍✨🤍✨

Hey, I found this amazing perfume at Fortnum and Mason in London. It smelled so good that I couldn't stop thinking about it after I got home. So, I ordered it online and now I can't get enough of it! It's a beautiful blend of vanilla and caramel, and it doesn't have that sickly sweet smell like some other vanilla scents I've tried. It lasts for a long time too. Oh, and by the way, I love the packaging as well!

I got this one as gift first time ,but was so delicious that when it's finished I order an other one , and it's just amazing vanilla, and it stay so long , I spray on my clothes go out back then after afew days come to washing basket to wash the clothes and all clothes there get the scents .it is just 👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥 and also every one of my friends asked me about it and I know afew of them gone and got it .

Wow! I am sniffing this on my arm and I’m in heaven. It literally smells like caramel cotton candy on my skin!!! It is not heavy and cloying it is a light and airy vanilla. It is perfection. I can smell this on my arm all day. Great lasting power. I’m in love!!!!! I only sprayed 3 sprays and I’m getting great projection and lasting power.

I received a sample today September 9th '24. It's so breath taking unlike any other perfume in America. The heavy hitters are outside the USA and I'm looking forward to my next travel 😀. A chocolate factory indeed! I'm in love Ahwaz will you marry me!🥰👰♂️

I love the fluffy decadence of this. It’s like being a confectioner’s kitchen when they’re whipping up some sweet, creamy caramel and adding in touches of warm vanilla and bits of toffee. This does remind me slightly of Vaniglia.

recently got sample set from a friend and this one was a love , so ordered a full bottle and i love it ,amazing gourmand perfume .

I am desperately searching for a bottle of this! Please contact me!

This is Vanille West Indies Ligne St. Barth mixed with Vaniglia Mazzolari on steroids. The caramel is mouthwateringly exquisite and the vanilla DNA remains the same but both of these notes are just amplified. I love Vanille West Indies but I find Vaniglia almost nauseating and I'm not sure if I can handle Helwa, perhaps in smaller doses. This is a very beautiful gourmand vanilla that's extremely well blended with a strong performance and a cozy scent bubble. I would buy a bottle of Helwa if the price point was cheaper but since it's so similar to Vanille West Indies and it costs 3 times more, I'm putting this one as a strong like for now.

This is a light + complex vanilla/caramel scent. The opening is a spicy black vanilla and it smells a bit like the black tea my mother makes. The dry down is SOOO delectable and comforting. Not sure it’s worth the $400+ price tag though.

Smells like a vanilla scented candle to me.

This is definitely not a beast fragrance as I thought it would be. As a few below me said, I agree that this is a weak body spray comparable fragrance to my surprise. For me the huge difference between this one and St Barth, Mazzorali is that this is very watered down alcohol smell. This is a big let down as I had high hopes for this considering the high price and reviews of it I though it would be worth it but with such poor performance sadly it is a regret.

I ended up returning it at fifty percent loss because it was so faint in smell. I could not pick up any of the toffee just a much weaker version of Mazzorali which I love. I ended up being asked to mail back the samples that were included with this bottle purchase but then ended up being deducted another fifty pounds plus shipping deductions since 2 of them were partially used, silly me I thought samples were free to sample.

I was looking forward to the toffee note. Sadly this is IDENTICAL to Mazzolari or Vanille from Anthropologie. All of these have something nauseating about them (cotton candy? Maybe). I am a huge fan of Tihota and that one does not have that je ne sais quoi that makes me wanna throw up. Even if you enjoy the scent profile I find no benefits worth paying a fortune for Helwa. The lasting power is no better than a $24 perfume

Obtained a sample in a swap and I’m just so happy I didn’t blind buy this. Not because it’s an awful fragrance, it smells delicious but just like the reviewer below me said, I also found it doesn’t project much or last that long. Also it gives me similar vibes to my st Barth West Indies. Not the exact same but close enough for me anyways. Maybe a vanilla connoisseur would love to have this in their collection but I don’t personally need a lot of redundancies so I’m happy with my st barth and a few others. I would have been so disappointed if I had paid $400+ for this, it’s not that special, to me anyways. Perhaps my expectations were too high but I expected a mind blowing vanilla scent. It’s just too basic to warrant the cost for me. I need to be blown away to spend that kind of cash. Yes it smells great but poor performance and there are many similar great vanilla scents out there. Easy pass for me.

Helwa is a straightforward caramel vanilla fragrance. So all my straightforward vanilla girlies come forward this one is for you. This fragrance smells like butterscotch or like the softest piece of rich caramel on my skin. Even though there is no lactonic notes listed, there is a lactonic essence that radiates from this fragrance due to the toffee and caramel. It mimics how caramel smells after you add whole cream to it. Then throughout the life of the fragrance the vanilla adds a touch more sweetness to the scent. This scent is linear on my skin just sweetening up as time progresses. If you enjoy sweet vanilla scents then Helwa is your girl! On my skin it lasts about 6-7 hours. With over spraying the sillage and projection are also great!The longer I wear it the more I fall in love with it!

I have blind bought it and unfortunatly It was a waste of money. Its like the most expensive body mist. Maaaby in a heat it will perform. But I prefer this kind of sweet carmely scent profile in the fall-winter time. I prefer Tihota way more. Its similar but Helwa doesn’t give me any performance which is a big shame 😢 I have change my mind about this fragrance. It’s the only bottle of perfume I would repurchase. I own plenty of fragrances but this one gave me so many complements! It’s so easy to wear! Every season. You may not always smell it but others does. It’s sweet, ethereal, not complicated, easy everyday reach. Delicious vanilla and toffee. The price tho😅 Unfortunately price is too much of a splurge for me. Otherwise 😍

Finally had a chance to sample this (10ml decant). It's beautiful, but it's identical....IDENTICAL, from initial spray to dry down...to Mazzolari Vaniglia, which is sold in a 100ml bottle (25ml more) for $200 less than Helwa (and it's way easier to get as it's sold on LuckyScent). The projection isn't stronger and I think the longevity is identical too. Everything. Feel free to Venmo me the money you've just saved lol Update: It had some time to sit and I am actually a liar. This caramel here is richer and deeper and gives Helwa and extra depth and sexiness not in Vaniglia. Vaniglia is still amazing and I’d wear that more as an everyday scent, while Helwa I’d use on top of it for depth or on its own for maybe date night

Helwa is Queen, Queen of vanillas and queen of gourmands. You may think you have smelled every vanilla out there, but until you've smelled Helwa, you haven't. This may be the simplest of all the Ahwaz as far as note breakdowns, but it is still a complex and interesting caramel vanilla delight. It starts off with a blast of drizzled caramel, and dries down to a sweet vanilla/toffee scent. I am just in love. It is so cozy, so perfect. Yes the tag is pricey, but if you consider the quality and potency, it's fair. Three or four sprays has lasted me an entire 12 hours. I like to layer her on top of other Ahwaz fragrances. Honestly this brand has me in a chokehold. Breathtaking.

To put it simply, this is Indult's Tihota without the fluffy musk. A boneless Tihota, if you will lol. So if you loved the pure vanilla extract scent of that but found the musk to be too much, this is what you want. However, at the hefty price of $456 after shipping to get to the US, I'm not sure if it's worth it. Scents that are comparable to Tihota without the musk include Mazzolari's Vaniglia and Arte Profumi's Sucre Noir. So those would be a better bet than Helwa due to the price. But if money is no object then definitely go for it!

I have tried it twice at Fortum and masons. It has a synthetic opening, which gets to me. Then not quite long after, i can't smell anything. Though, second time round i was able to smell it, but it was extremely faint on my skin. I think the toffee mellows the sweetness of the caramel so its not overly sweet. I do like the scent so will be giving it a third attempt. Will definitely over spray. And spray on my clothes as well. If the performance remains poor, then I will have to skip.

Ahwaz Helwa (حلوى) This one reminds of Indult Tihota and La Maison Dela. The intention of this perfume is very clear: mimic a sweet caramel candy smell. This stuff literally smells like toffee candy, and I have smelled cheaper perfumes like this one in the past. The combination between caramel and vanilla is seamless. The vanilla used here is very rich and not cloying If you like to smell like candy, this is your scent, however this is not my cup of tea

Wheeeew this baby is bad azz, sweeet fluffy caramel vanilla goodness, way closer to St Barth than vaniglia for sure. I’m surprised to hear this doesn’t last long on most, this frag is great on me. Maybe give your bottle some time. It’s a linear vanilla for the most part so if you are looking for more this isn’t for you. This is straight up sweet caramel gourmand all the way through. Some powderness in the very end but very faint.

Look at the writing times of the three reviews above. And then look at their wardobe and look at their reviews. They are trying to hype this fragrance so hard. I might look like an idiot if they delete the review, so I'll write down their nickname.

This is for gourmand lovers. It’s a sweet vanilla, caramel, toffee scent. Very intoxicating and blind buy worthy. Perfect for a cozy night for a Netflix and chill moments. It has similar vibes with V Canto Mirabile. I have sprayed on each arm to compare. Definitely need this in my collection but will wait for a good deal.

I am DYING to get my hands on this. I tried to order from the Ahwaz website and it wouldn’t let me. Does anyone know where I can get this? Or does anyone have a sample I could buy? I am in the USA

I ordered a sample from scent split, I was very excited but it is sooo faint in smell. I sprayed it on a t shirt and I could barely smell it!

Absolutely looks like some fake reviews 👇 and being asked to return free samples is absurd too.

Anyone in the U.K. selling a sample of this? Please DM. Thanks
