Hawas Diva

Holy FUCK. This stuff is bomb. I gave my BIR intense away several months ago to a friend, and i stumbled across this which is a supposed dupe.. and i must say yes!! I obviously cant do a direct side by side but at least from what I remember this smells just like BIR intense...... so fucking amazing... I cant even describe it its just so soft and heavenly and sexy and ugh..... im not so good with womens perfumes.... this is the only 1 I have and I fucking love it, I like to even wear it myself!!!!! If i smelled this on a woman I would think shes the prettiest most amazing lady in the world! This smell makes me imagine a sex goddess slowly emerging from a tall field of vibrant pink flowers. 10/10 This is the first time ive ever owned both the OG and the DUPE of a fragrance and i must say im rather impressed....... i think the hawas diva seems to have better performance...... its like for the price why even bother buying BIR intense. I fucking love RASASI my number 1new fragrance house seriously

Indolic jasmine paired to amber (i don’t think it’s amber gris) in the dry down that might be reminescent of public bathrooms : the pyramid must not be correct, it’s def there. It doesn’t bother me in the fragrance, neither it does in donna born in roma intense (it’s temporaly there). Definitely more close to DBIR intense than the og. Compared to DBIR intense, it’s way less ambery the dry down and more on sweeter side (like a lighter one but still way less sweeter than extradose). I def pref the Valentino over that one, but maybe for a layering to save some of the og, why not. Unfortunately my first day of using and performance wasn’t great, i would probably update later Edit : it smells veryyyy close to Hayana from Ahmed Al Maghribi

Very first impression, first sniff: I love this. Very close to VBIR intense. At this point I can't decide the one I love more. This is a diva of a fragrance, just like the name. Not linear..deceiving on first spray as the Rhubarb and litchi are prominent then a few moments later the incense and rose take centre stage and transform a good fragrance to an amazing one. I have diva on one arm and VBIR intense on the other and honestly it's very hard to tell the difference. I've always loved the Intense and now she has a twin sister. Can't wait for this to spend a few months in the dark to make it even more of a banger. Very successful blind buy.

It does resemble Donna BIR Extradose, just maybe a little bit less vanillic. I do get lychee, fresh and bright, but the vanilla and musk keep it from being a boring tart fruit. Also, I don't get any sourness, no rhubarb detected. I hate rhubarb in general unless very well balanced, like this, where you don't even notice it. I'm very picky with perfumes. I have a large collection, and I find this to be a great blind buy. Good projection and longevity. Nothing Middle Eastern about it, in case you don't like that style.

I didn't want to make a review on this one since I was a little salty with how it arrived, I was trying to return this one because the cap broke off on its journey to me, but I super glued it back because Amazon would not take it back. HOWEVER, the beautiful smell on this one made me forgive them and write this review today. This compared to the superdose OG - Diva has way more projection and longevity, so happy I found this one and will be on rotation for the summer. (lets hope the cap stays on)
