Hawas Atlantis

Firstly, the notes are dead wrong, and the picture as well; don't know why Fragrantica is not updating this. That being said, I dont know where do I even begin with this, the shitstorm this has caused got my attention more than anything and I did a blind dive anyway knowing the risk fully. The opening is a raw vegetal blast, coming off literally like freshly cut green capsicum (not even joking) which then settles into a greenish citrus profile backed by sharpness of ginger and mineralic accords. Now this entire body has an apparent smoky yet smooth backbone of galbanum that may be offputting to a lot of people and this mixed with the vegetal opening makes it easy for me to understand all the hate. As the opening settles, the sandalwood in the base begins to shine through which honestly to me is the grace and charm of this scent profile that ties everything together beautifully. In the end this transitions into a dark green slightly sweet woody smoky aquatic that is just eerily charming and mature. I won't draw any parallels to this as I honestly do not think this is particularly similar to Invictus or its derivatives, maybe stretching to say Invictus Legend to a faint extent but that may be attributable to the bay leaf note in the latter that resembles the greenish/vegetal accord. Overall, I can see the divide in people, this is nothing like the usual safe reach Hawas releases, but that is exactly why I love it, especially being a sucker for challenging aquatics. Definitely try before you buy, and it may surprise you for the better or worse. Great performance, pushes well for couple hours and lasts long too (8-9 hours on my skin in the initial couple testings) but then I am sure it will develop to get better.

There are a couple things I would like to say about this fragrance 1. It is absolutely not blind but safe 2. Let the opening dry before buying it if you’re testing it out in a store This isn’t a typical fresh fragrance, it’s like a realistic one. There’s a store I go to that sells many middle eastern fragrances, good ones like typical Lattafa, and hawas. I sprayed this on my arm because I enjoyed og hawas, and let me tell you the opening is not as bad as people say it is. Sure it is strong and a little jarring, but it settles into a very unique fragrance. Just imagine swimming in the ocean with seaweed everywhere on a stormy day. That sounds like a terrible mix, but it somehow works. I like to imagine that the deep from the boys would smell like this, just straight ocean, freshness, and seaweed. I don’t know about the performance and all that stuff because I used one spray, and I kept smelling tf outta that one spray and I can’t smell it anymore. I will 100% be getting this if I find it a Burlington or any of those stores, and if I don’t I’ll order it online.

The notes on here are completely wrong. They have the same notes as the original Hawas but just switched around. The notes are as follows. TOP NOTES: Bergamot, Galbanum MIDDLE NOTES: Ginger, Mineral Notes, Salty Notes BASE NOTES: Sandalwood, Cedarwood This is not a safe blind buy if you're not into unique niche style fragrances. I didnt like this one at first but I grew to like it a lot. But it's still one of those fragrances that you have to be in the mood for it to wear it. This a deep underwater aquatic, salty, green, earthy, sun aged wood, fragrance. This is absolutely not for the faint of heart, it's heavy and loud for the first 2 to 3 hours so spray sparingly. The opening is super green, salty, wet sand, and fresh soil which comes off almost "coffee-ish". After about 30 minutes it balances out once it starts to dry down. I get at least 4 hours actual projection and about 8 to 10 hours on skin. This is NOT mass appealing this is an acquired taste. Hope this helps find me on youtube (The Clone Collector)

The notes are very and I mean very wrong, it has some very small similarities to Invictus legend (I really wish it was just a straight up clone of Invictus legend) and Acqua di gio profondo parfum, LV lovers and that scent is mid i dislike it so idk why they would want to add that in here anyway make all of it more green and woody in the opening if you don’t like green fragrances this will not be for you, this is not blind buy safe if possible get a decant or watch lots of reviews (I have a review coming up soon if you want to sub and watch be my guest @benscents), again not bad but also not omg amazing maybe it just needs to sit and macerate for a couple weeks maybe months.

Ok... THIS is exactly what an aquatic scent should be. The end. It isn’t up for debate. Get your noses checked, open your mind, go back to scent preschool and start over because Atlantis is an elite freshie. It almost combines aspects of each hawas here. Beast mode and beautiful. 10/10 HAWAS DOESNT MISS. Edit: bro who followed my review above is an idiot. 🤣 this is completely inaccurate and he must be mental to pick up those “notes.”

SOTD (morning) Just got this one yesterday. I initially assumed it would be pretty close to one of my favorite scents: Atlas. The opening is more herbaceous and green, but the drydown is, as I assumed, it reminds me of at least, for sure but lighter version. If you like this kinda of "dirty clean" smell, I would recommend you buy this one. Again, Atlas is still in beast mode.

Minus the apple these are the original Hawas notes this fragrance doesn't smell anything like what's listed above. This is a deep earthy green salt sub aquatic bomb. I hate it at first then I like it then I don't like it then I start loving it. It's weird have had it on skin twice but haven't purchased a bottle yet. Im still on the fence about it.

I really love this Hawas, salty, marine and sweet fresh, however i knew i already own this DNA and after searching in my collection i determined this is a inspiration of Invictus Parfum with a greener twist, they both share the same soapy sandalwood creamy drydown, compliments are gonna rain with this fragrance!

the best from hawas line, smell unique and suitable with my country weather which is in Asia, Great performance, the drydown is masterpiece, 9/10

Well OG Hawas + Green vibe, that's the best way to explain and at last, i like it!!

Okay this is freallhy good take on OG DNA if you ask me.

This was a blind buy for me. Having heard good things about this line of fragrances, I wanted to give it a try and decided to pick up Atlantis. The opening is VERY strong. A little too much on the green notes, but underneath it is a very pleasant almost sweeter smell. This reminds me so much of JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden, which I also have and like. Paradise Garden definitely figured out how to master a green/aquatic smell. Atlantis on the other hand went too extreme on the green notes. Although, the dry down is very pleasant and the heavy green seems to be almost gone and has the potential to receive a few compliments. The performance is great though. Long lasting and good projection. Would recommend if looking for a green fragrance, just be careful with the amount of sprays as this can be a bit overbearing.

#1730 in my “Tour de Fragrance” Got this as a spray sample from scentwithsense.com. No this isn’t Invictus. Jesus people, check the notes. Of course I like it because I like original "Hawas for Him” and the notes are identical. It’s "Hawas for Him” in a prettier bottle at double the price. And like Hawas for Him, it’s Rasasi’s take on original Hugo Boss “Bottled.” And others have done this. Good luck telling this from Lattafa “Najdia” and “Sumou", Rayhaan “Granada.” They’re all same-same. This is certainly nice enough for any setting and good quality. But for me these freshies are so commonplace they’re basically gym bag juice. If this is what you want the Najdia is out there for $15, so why spend $60 for this? Good Luck and Good Hunting!

Once more im gonna strongly disaggre with the majority of the community..So i get the weirdeness of the opening,BUT its not soo bad as they are saying and it only last about 10 minutes.After that it just has the classic fresh dna,and what i wanted ti say its that is one of the nost unique concepts of pefume ive seen.It catches the mysterius vibe of "Atlantis" pretty fking well,and it gives that sea-oceanic vibe.So overall for me its a success..Not a safe blind buy ill agree to that.But much hate for no reason at all.It is "Atlantis" vibe indeed! 😁

The opening is extremely green. Smells like cut grass and just an excessive amount of plants. It's kind of reminiscent of that cut grass aspect of greenly. However if you let it sit for a bit and dont bury your nose on where you applied it in the air it's actually quite nice. Very fresh, aquatic, and marine. A decent flanker imo. I like it. Once this really settles the dry down smells like a slight twist of the first hawas releases like a cross of ice or the OG.

So my decant has come and i kinda like how the scent evolve, not my favorite but worth to try . As for the scent the opening is kinda weird, its green, earthy and vegetal kinda scent, after that opening this turn into sweet bublegummy invictus dna, i think it lean more into invictus legend. Performance just like the other is excellent, i didn't really like that opening but maybe it will grown on me.

The least blind buy safe hawas I own. I would say be careful with this. Very nice smell after 45 minutes but before then it smells like a dirty beach with seaweed everywhere. Imagine Galveston dirty water. But the dry down and after really does make up for that horrible opening. Wait an hour before going out with this on.

I didn't like the opening, but after one hour it's really pleasant. I smell some guava accord mixed with aromatics at the beginning that it's weird, but the drydown it's clean and masculine.

A fresh airy perfume that feels like the best scenario to wear it would be at the top of a mountain breathing in that clean fresh air. I like it a lot

Okay opening is very much cut grass,salt water and wood blendered together. The grass might just be "seaweed". You can not get a greener opening probably too much for a lot of people. The drydown you still get that initial grass mulch a bit of sweetness and a bit of wood. The salt water is gone and it's a much calmer scent. It's okay. Definitely different. Might grow on me. This is definitely not blind buy safe. This is out of the box review also got malibu and tropical and they both smell weak a hell. This might have fried my nose or they need some time. By the way this might have inspiration but trust me NO ONE HAS MADE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Maybe secretion or what ever that famous bad smelling one is. It's far from invictus legends in the opening and mid like miles off and Idk about lovers but I dont think so. This is nuclear and you won't be able to detect anything else at least 15min after spraying. As for the reviewers that don't own this should all be banned from the site.
