Hawas Fire

I’m very impressed with this scent. Amazing scent profile to begin with, isn’t overly sweet, isn’t too funky, isn’t weird smelling, doesn’t suffer from being too niche but doesn’t suffer from being too generic. It is a relatively mass appealing scent, there’s not many people who will tell you they don’t like this, at least in my encounters with it. Opens up smelling pretty clean and aquatic, that’s the best way to describe it. It takes an aquatic opening but dials down after a little, retains a sweetness but that amber note really starts to punch through and it is wonderful. I get different notes in different conditions. Colder days I’ll get a warmth and sweetness from this, but on warmer days it leans towards a more fresh direction retaining a more clean/fresh profile. It’s hard to describe this scent, I feel as if the notes listed don’t really reflect it well. It’s unique in my opinion, but not complex. There’s no other words to describe this other than it’s just a pleasant scent, not complicated but you will be smelling so incredibly good. It is masculine, but I would say it dabbles a bit in that sexy territory, wouldn’t go as far to call it a date night scent, this scent really is good for most occasions. Performance is pretty nuts on this thing. It will leave a beautiful trail and it projects far off the skin. It also stays on you for a long time. Spray in the morning, it projects and lasts until evening. Doesn’t matter how hot or cold it is, this thing performs. It could easily be a summer fragrance, as it could easily be a winter fragrance. The most versatile fragrance I have. Bang for buck on this one is incredible. You can’t ask for a better value. It’s 40 bucks, like what a deal. Easily the best budget fragrance i’ve ever smelt, at this time and being. Plus you get 100ml, amazing deal. I blind bought this, I don’t ever think blind buying is a great idea. Save your money seriously, but if you were to blind buy, it’s a safer option( that being said, don’t buy something you’ve never smelt). Like I said, mass appealing profile that not many people will find themselves hating. My only critique and my only slight problem is that this fragrance will choke you out, don’t even think about over spraying. The scent cloud it forms can be suffocating, so spray with caution, don’t be an idiot and spray on the front side of your neck, you will get a headache, trust me. Go for sprays on the back of the neck or the side, you could honestly just go for the wrists or elbows if you wanted to. If you are feeling brave enough maybe under the neck, if this is the only thing you want to smell all day that is. I wouldn’t say it’s nuclear like red tobacco but it is a beast for sure. You shouldn’t have to spray it under your clothes or anything. Overall, it’s pretty good. Most versatile fragrance I own, wouldn’t be suprised if the dent increases on my bottle very soon.

DRACULA'S FRAGRANCE The bottle, the note breakdown, and the reviews. Everything seemed odd. I finally ordered it, and now that I have it, I can tell you: I was not prepared for this. The note breakdown on Fragrantica—and pretty much everywhere online—is completely wrong. This fragrance immediately reminded me of something I already own. Then it came to me: A*Men Pure Malt. The patchouli is unmistakably present (I’m a sucker for patchouli), balanced by fruity notes. It’s not a one-to-one resemblance of Pure Malt of course, but I’d put it at about 60% close—without the booziness, yet with the addition of orange blossom and rose. That’s essentially the direction this fragrance leans. This is not a marine or aquatic fragrance, nor is it a fresh floral. Instead, it’s dense, warm, spicy, fruity, and just slightly dark floral. "Seductive, captivating and elusive". Hence the fun nickname: “Dracula’s Fragrance.” After a bit more research, I came across Gentscents’ review on YouTube. He did his own research and nailed it regarding the note breakdown. Here’s the real one: Top notes: Apple, Bergamot, Lemon, Cinnamon Heart notes: Orange Blossom, Cardamom, Plum Base notes: Patchouli, Grey Amber, Driftwood, Musk Here are some of the ingredients/compounds listed on the box Alcohol denat, parfum, aqua, citronellol (often smells like rose, fresh, slightly citrusy-floral.), limonene (citrus, lemon/orange peel brightness), linalool (floral, soft lavender-like, with a touch of spice), coumarin (sweet, warm, tonka bean/hay/almond-like), citral (sharp lemon, zesty, fresh citrus), geraniol (floral, rosy, green) The rose note makes sense too. The fragrance definitely gives off rosy vibes—rich and warm, more like rose absolute. THIS FRAGRANCE IS FIRE. I love A*Men Pure Malt, which I own and which is sadly discontinued. Finding something in the same realm—not a clone though, but in the same category —is fantastic. I’m going to rock the hell out of this fragrance this winter. I can’t stop smelling it. Damn, it’s good.

A really distinctive, strong and pleasant scent for pocket change! I'd actually go as far to say this is bordering on niche profile and quality which is astonishing for the price. It's a fragrance that might not be for everyone but if you like it I think you'll probably love it. An unusual but potent blend of oceanics blended with florals and a mineralic note of some description. There feels like there is an underlying berry essence but it's not listed! It's a genuinely individualistic offering that is something out of the ordinary, nice. Easy to wear, especially in warm weather but could be worn all year, feels like a sunny daytime scent to me mostly but if I was a younger man this would be considered on a night out for sure. I often wear this in the gym finding it cuts through the masses of other people training wearing a sea of blue fragrances, which I also add to regularly on rotation! 😆 Performance is way above average, well it is now anyway. This needed to sit for a couple of months to reach the strong levels reported by other users. Careful on the sprays too, this could probably choke out a small space if heavy handed but applied 4-6 times gives many hours of pleasant sillage that's detectable at over arms length. Probably more male leaning but who's to say what someone likes and chooses to wear! No age barrier with this one either, it's such an unusual profile that anybody if any age group could and should indulge! I have a reasonable collection of designer, niche, middle eastern including dupes amongst some high end and vintage perfumes, plenty of cheapies too! This is worthy of a place amongst them all. I know the Hawas line has their knockers, critics and haters but if you can be honest with yourself, put your pride and any snobbery aside long with any preconceived notions, you will have a product that excels way beyond it's lowly price and worthy of a place on most shelves. Great value creative perfumery that's a bit of a steal.

Edit: After owning this cologne longer, the notes listed are correct and this scent is a “dark” marine that is beautifully complimented by the clary sage. The mineral notes are quite prominent and creep in which gives it depth and longevity. I find myself constantly reaching for this bottle and it seems to have become my signature. This lasts a long time and PROJECTS- people will smell you before they see you and while the cologne is mass appealing, hawas fire is very unique and people can remember you from the fragrance alone. Now that the cologne has properly settled, I still stand on its 9/10 rating, perhaps even better. ***************************************** Previous reply: This cologne really surprised me, I had to give it a few days before I could understand it. At first spray, I was heartbroken with discovering a oud that smelled similar to Oud for Glory. After letting it sit a few days I tried it again and the scent changed. It opened with a soft smooth aquatic oud that was complex and beautiful. It then brings out a sweetness although not “berry like” how other descriptions have said, it’s slightly more floral but definitely not in a feminine way. I would say this stays as a soft, marine, floral, oud for the rest of its lifetime which sounds weird but it’s something you need to experience yourself. I really enjoy this so far and think you can wear this any season or time of day. I think any age can pull this off more or less. Verdict: 9/10 Complex, Unique, intriguing, Good Performance. ***************************************** I would mainly like to clarify this does not smell like berries or oud. This does have some sweetness from the sage but is blended closely with the marine notes. The mineral notes likely needed time to settle but this did really smell like oud at first but after a few sprays, there is no such detection.

This stuff is strong right off the bat, no maturation magic or whatever, I sprayed it once on a long sleeved ( thin sleeves ) jacket smelled it loved it. Came back home sprayed some other decants on different parts of the arm and went on with the day. 2 hours later smelled them again and didnt understand why i smell a strong scent from a certain area on my arm on which i didnt spray anything, and the scent was prominent as if i directly sprayed something on this area. Then eventually I realized, It was the little hawas fire that penetrated through the sleeves earlier today, what the hell and it outlasted almost all the other decants I tested directly on my skin like torino 21 and mefisto. Performance and longevity of this perfume leaves nothing to be desired, its incredible. Scent-wise, it really reminds me of Anfar Sabbia in terms of the fruity notes just slightly less leatheroud scent. Hawas fire is sweet and fruity with an oudy leathery vibe ( not the ombre leather type of leather ) and the fruits are not citrus, they are also not tropical, people describe it as red fruits but what kind ? maybe sweet jam with some florals and spices Beautiful and unique scent, somewhat oriental and interesting but still has some mass appeal, if you can its better to get a decant, not as safe as hawas ice but way more interesting and beautiful. Its not super masculine but its masculine leaning

WOW! I mean, just WOW! I am really surprised by how much I like this fragrance. I haven’t felt this strongly about a scent in a long time. It smells like a masculine candy apple, but not overly sweet. More like a “healthier” version of a candy apple. Like some of the sugar has been cut out... somehow. I also pick up pine, and there's a bit of an aquatic undertone to keep it from becoming too heavy. A little story; the first time I wore this, I had a dental cleaning right after. As I'm laying in the chair, getting my gums scraped to hell, one of the dental assistants barges in the room and immediately asks, "What cologne are you wearing!?". She tracked me down with the scent trail I left behind. No one ever asks me what I'm wearing or compliments my fragrance, EVER. Anyway, back to the review. This leans masculine, but I think women could get away with wearing it. Sillage and projection are nuclear, so 1-2 sprays is all you need and it will last the entire day--several days on clothes. Rasasi really knocked this one out of the park. That being said, this is a rare instance where I've had to let a fragrance sit. Without letting it mature, it will underperform and have a straight alcohol opening.

There's a great fruity like some kind of cherry, red currant, or something in the opening which stays though the drydown. In the drydown the amber is a lot more prominent ambery throughout with the mineralic freshness too and something aromatic. It smells pheonmenal. BUT I also feel like this DNA is VERY commonly worn by exchange students, and immediately associated it with middle eastern bros on first spray. When I think of the scent they wear, this is it. This is makes me think of the Sauvage of the middle east DNA. I can see why some people could be reminded of Sauvage even if it doesn't smell like it. It smells really, really good, but it just has that association as a fruitier version of a mainly middle eastern bro's cologne and exchange students's cologne in my mind so it's hard to remove that. If you can pick it up for cheap I highly recommend. Performance is nuclear beast mode, and I could easily see people at work being offended by it, but it seems like it would be great if you're spending a day out with your girl, doing something casual, or places where you don't care if you're projecting or you need to be noticed. Personally I do prefer the OG hawas the most out of all of them.

Got several Hawas decants (5ml) recently (Hawas Og, Ice, Malibu, Kobra and Fire). Based or reviews/hype/my scent profile, I thought the main "battle" would be between Og and Ice, however I didn't like them at all. Too heavy, white musk dominant frags. Hawas Fire, on the other side was an instant LOVE. Like that's it, look no further :). To my nose, opening is a strong orangey/mineral notes with yellow/gold amber in the background as a supporting structure. It's very strong , quite linear, nothing aquatic there. What you get in first 10 min will last throughout. And boy, this one lasts! Very strong projection for first 3h and then quite strong scent bubble for another 4-5h. After that it becomes a skin scent. I was wearing it side by side with my favorite from Eros line, Eros Flame (2021 bottle), as I have seen some comparisons to it, and honestly, I don't see much resemblance (maybe if I really, really struggle). Eros Flame is orangey/creamy vanilla with some spices - I thought it was quite strong on my skin (it is!) until I tested it against Fire. Flame seems like a "freshie" comparing to Fire. Unexpectedly, Hawas Fire won me over and deserved a full bottle purchase. Cheers,

I honestly don't know what took me so long to pick up Hawas Fire, because this fragrance is absolutely fire! From the first spray, you're greeted with a clean, smooth amber scent that smells modern, refined, and effortlessly wearable. It has the perfect balance of freshness and warmth, making it one of those rare fragrances that truly works year-round. The performance is outstanding. The projection is strong without being overwhelming, and the sillage leaves an incredible scent trail that gets noticed long after you've walked by. It performs exactly how I want a fragrance to perform. What really impressed me is its versatility. Whether you're heading to work, going out to dinner, or just wearing it casually, Hawas Fire fits every occasion while still feeling unique and memorable. I can't believe it took me this long to experience this DNA. It's easily one of the best fragrance purchases I've made, and it very well could be my favorite fragrance I have. If you're looking for a clean amber fragrance with exceptional projection, sillage, and year-round versatility, Hawas Fire is an EASY EASY EASY recommendation.

When I first sprayed it, the scent seemed very familiar to me. This sweet fruity-berry explosion at the beginning. And then I remembered it. My wife has Lattafa Bade'e Al Oud Sublime in her collection. I took it and sprayed it too. So, these scents are very close to each other, I'd say 80%, no less. Only Fire is much higher quality and 2-3 times more intense. Sublime's scent is quite hollow in comparison to it. But nevertheless, they are very similar in scent! I started looking on the website here to see which scent Sublime copies. And I found out that it copies Kayali Eden Juicy Apple 01. I looked at its notes and I think that Hawas Fire copies Kayali. Because all the notes that I hear in Fire are present in Kayali. Even the bottles are similar, lol. But I didn't have it, so I can't say for sure. As for Hawas Fire as a standalone scent, it's a very powerful thing! On skin, it lasts all day, 10-12 hours. On clothes, several days until you wash them. And this is after 2-3 sprays. The sillage is also crazy. For those who like sweet fruity-berry scents, you can easily blind buy it!

I cant deal with these reviews... either massive trolls, or this is just peak ignorance. 'Aventus & BR540???' '9PM Rebel' 'Literally Hawas without the watery notes... same exact notes' Some actually have themselves convinced that they smell the notes listed. Jeezis... 🤣 This is a leather/oud dominant fragrance (admittedly, you may have to let it mature a couple of weeks before you realize – I did. When I first got it in, it was purely fruity/amber), which has nothing to do with ANY of the frags referenced. Further, the notes listed here are most definitely incorrect - copied directly from the official Rasasi Hawas Fire webpage. Which by the way, there are TWO different sets of notes listed on the official page, both wrong. Somebody fumbled the ball. How do I know they're incorrect? Because Ive actually had Hawas Fire on my skin. If you'd like a more accurate representation of what you're actually smelling, check out the Gissah Imperial Valley, or Paris Corner Khair, Fragrantica page.

Either my nose is off by miles but this smells nothing like the notes. To me I get fruity berries and lots of them, a very feint herb smell - which I guess is a sage and some florals. This was in my mind exactly what Eros EDP was going to smell like prior to purchasing it blind and I was very disappointed when it didn't match my expectations. I since swapped it to Eros flame which is more suitable, but even that isn't up to the power of this one. I notice way down in the "other" similar scents, you can see Eros flame but to me, if you've got Eros on your list, get this instead, seriously. (Btw I'm not hating on eros flame, I wear it allot!) Obviously don't take any advice from me, because nobody else seems to agree here. Maybe they mixed up the liquids in the factory, or maybe I've put so many budget bangers on my skin over the last few months, my olfactory glands can't tell my ouds from my lemons. That said, it's another power house of a fragrance from the Hawas line up.

I wasn't blown away by Hawas Ice's scent profile, but I kinda like it as an easy grab summer / gym fragrance and the quality was very good for the price so I had to try Hawas Fire when I saw it online for 35 Euros. And Good Lord, it smells absolutely incredible.. Quality wise like a high end designer and a more wearable (westernized if you will) version of the niche Imperial Valley DNA, but not a direct clone with the leather tuned down and the ambery sweetness amped up ever so slightly (I also have French Avenue Sultan the Founder and Ahmed al Maghribi Blue Oud who are in the same family, but different enough to own as well). Performance is very good by any standard as expected from the Hawas line. For the price? Easily a 9.6/10 P.s.: A lot of nonsense reviews on this fragrance probably based on the COMPLETELY wrong note breakdown here and first impressions without giving this a bit of time to develop. On top of that a DNA that is notoriously misunderstood anyway.

This is a wear anytime fragrance but control the number of sprays appropriately to the occasion. Also, please give enough time for it to settle down before wearing somewhere like the office or public transport. Be considerate! For me the clary sage is bright on the opening, just like using a clary sage essential oil diffuser. Its takes it time toning down. Marine and mineral notes are present right from the beginning, and the amber will dominate over time. But I get a distinct fruity note a generic red-berry scent that I can not place. Right beside it is something more animalistic without going stanky. Overall a complex profile that is super interesting. I think most people are likely to enjoy this, though some would either be turned off by the bubblegum note, the animalistic component, or the juicy red-fruit note. Overall, I love wearing it. I love smelling the scent. It performs great. That's enough for me!

This ended up being a very good blind-buy. With a lot of differing reviews of this fragrance, I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to get with Hawas Fire, but I was a fan of the original Hawas and wanted to try something else from the line. Off the top, I get a strong dose of fruitiness (I can sort of see the BR540 connections that people are making) with a leathery aspect lingering at the periphery. I find the ambergris to be present here, as well, which gives it a very subtle animalic effect that bodes well, however as others have said, the relation of the fragrance with the notes listed here does not come across as exact. In terms of quality, it is really quite good, particularly at the price point. All around, very impressed with this release. Edit: I find the longevity to be lacking, especially when compared to the general consensus on it. Not sure if it needs time to macerate or not.

El comentario en español que estabas buscando. Muy buen perfume. Tiene lo típico de todo perfume árabe un salida muy fuerte, sintética y quizás aveces apaullante pero un secado hermoso, que dura mucho tiempo. La salida es extremadamente dulce. Parece frutos rojos. Y el secado es marino medio mineral. Probé el hawas ice y no me gustó tanto como éste. Tengo el hawas cobra para probar cuando lo haga lo actualizo. Pero por el momento el mejor hawas que he probado. No recomiendo compra a ciegas. Si no te gusta perfumes muy dulces e invasivos no vayas por él. En relación calidad precio es muy buena vas a obtener por un valor relativamente bajo un perfume con duración muy alta. Si lo prueban o ya lo tienen. Cuidado con las atomizaciones. Entre 3 a 5 esta bien te dura todo el día. Si te pones más y hace mucho calor vas a desmayar a más de uno a tu lado.

If you’re coming here to read reviews before purchase, take the reviews from people who bought it only for the name, and weren’t expecting this scent, with a grain of salt. Should never bling buy a fragrance for its name always check notes. Amber adds warmth, marine, mineral, and ambergris gives it an earthy edge and are the stars of the show. In dry down, the Egyptian jasmine starts to shine bringing a clean aspect to the fragrance, balancing out the earthy side. Very masculine. Nothing is overpowering or offensive. Well blended. Perfect for summer/spring/fall. This isn’t beachy touristy vacation marine ocean. This is,I live on the coast, I have money, and I’m charismatic, but powerful. On the elegant side of that DNA while remaining bold and masculine . Truly unique. 10/10 for me, but I love the ocean so take that for what you will.

An absolute banger of a fragrance. It delivers on every front—great scent, outstanding performance, and excellent versatility. Whether it's for casual wear, work, or special occasions, this fragrance fits perfectly. It's also a serious compliment getter. Performance : Longevity :12+ hours on clothes Projection :Heavy Sillage : Heavy The scent profile is highly appealing and easy to enjoy, making it a safe blind buy for most fragrance enthusiasts. It's one of those fragrances that receives positive reactions from almost everyone. To my nose, it smells quite similar to Gissah Imperial Valley and Reef 33. However, the performance is noticeably better than Reef 33 and comes much closer to the impressive standards set by Imperial Valley. If you enjoy that scent DNA, this fragrance is definitely worth considering. Highly recommended.

Got this about a month ago and I let it sit since then, not sure if it helped at all but I wore it the past 2 days and got quite a few compliments. Very strong sillage for the first hour or two but I still did get whiffs of it throughout the day, lasts fairly long on clothes too. Walked into work yesterday to immediately get complimented on the elevator, then got asked what I was wearing by one of the women I work with when I got to my floor. Got a couple more compliments today and I also overheard other coworkers talk about how nice it smelled as soon as I walked in lol. Can be a very super sweet fragrance to some but I personally enjoy it, seems very mass appealing, not sure how it would be in the summer heat due to the sweetness but I believe this fragrance is a good year-rounder for sure. Amazing quality for the price too.

In one word - sexy. . To give a bit more description, it is sweet, not cloying, and mysterious at the same time. It does not bombard the nose. In fact the notes that are projecting are easy on the nose. You would need to get closer to really smell the whole scent. Projection is not as long lasting as Hawas Ice though. I would imagine that if I am not married, this would be the scent that I'd use to seduce/intrigue the ladies. Just my personal opinion - only the musk makes it lean more as masculine scent, but it is easily unisex. I blind-bought a bottle and am glad I did. If the projection time improves, I will get a spare bottle. Edit: Performance is still not too good on my bottle but I still ordered 2 back up bottles in hopes.that performance will improve like my decant. I can see myself using this a lot.
