Hawas Lava Gold

An airy and slightly more wearable interpretation of Ahmed Al Maghribi's niche banger Ignite Oud, I would say they are about 92% similar with Lava Gold having an even smoother leather accord and a touch of caramel in the deep drydown, really well done. While the geranium in Ignite Oud adds a green and almost jammy rose layer that gives it a bit more of an upscale and special occasion vibe. Performance of Lava Gold leaves nothing to be desired, it's almost as long lasting as Ignite Oud with very good projection for hours and hours. I was lucky enough to find a bottle for 35 Euros. Rasasi really outdid themselves with this one, 9.9/10!

Take Hawas Fire, add some pineapple, and mix that with La Yuqawam Ambergris Showers (Irish Leather alternative), you get Hawas Lava Gold! I'm enjoying it so far. It's dense but has some freshness to it. May not be the best option for summer, but it's good to go for the rest of the year.

Great Smelling Hybrid Dupe of 3 DNAs (Oud for Greatness + Tom Ford Tuscan Leather + Aventus) Polarising (heavier Ofg dna supported by Tftl then Aventus dna opened up 2+ hrs later)

A better deeper darker version of Azzaro Wanted Elixir with a sweeter ending. I really like this will rock in fall.

This is leaning towards an original..Attention grabber for sure... It will get super beast mode 💪🏿 in time..

As of now, This is the best hawas ever. I'll update a full review soon.

If you want to smells like arabian millionaire , just go for it

I would say best with little fresh touch

Mustard. Yellow mustard. Take the bottle and squirt it on yourself. There you go; that's Lava Gold, from start to finish. To the currently 3 people who compared this to Tom Ford's D'Ombre leather; you deserve prison time.

× The Oriental Oud Era: before 2000 Before this millennium started, in the world of perfumery, the Oud ingredient was the King of the Oriental Perfume Family, The original oud presence in perfumes was complex, strong, animalistic, funky and dirty in a masculine way. A symbol of power and greatness Even spirituality, because it has that depth, ancient vibes. × The Westernised Oud Era: after 2000 # The first stage: 2000 - 2010 I believe, M7 YSL 2002 started everything. But that stage provided real first-class blends, tamed oud in a way that amazed even Arabs and the Eastern countries, because oud kept its depth and woody character. Less animalic, less skanky smells...etc Another great example of this stage is Oud Wood by Tom Ford, 2007. > In the 1st stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud are: wood, spices, heavy citrus, and herbs.. Etc # The second stage: 2010 to 2020 During this stage, oud perfumes began to evolve into more unisex, delicate, romantic, or silky scents. Etc > In the 2nd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud: Rose, Saffron, and leather.. Etc > Good examples for this are: - Oud Ispahan Dior, 2012 - Oud Malaki Chopard, 2012 # The third stage, 2020 till today We are living in a time when oud is mixed with (jammy tropical fruits such as mango and passion fruit) The oud has become sticky, sweet, and you hardly distinguish the type of oud used (is it Indian or Cambodian... etc.) Even in niche brands which should use original and natural ingredients as they sell at high prices, you can't tell which oud you are sniffing. > Good examples for this are: - God of Fire Stéphane Humbert Lucas, 2024 - Oud Cadenza Maison Crivelli, 2022 - Oud Maracujá Maison Crivelli, 2023 > In the 3rd stage, the most important ingredients that were mixed with oud: Red fruits, tropical fruits, and sweets such as caramel ===== Lament and Wish: "Now, for drama purposes, you need to imagine sad background music while reading the text below" Nowadays, we live in a time when the King of the Oriental Family has become just a jam in a jar. That poor king has been forced to change his gender under the pressure of trends and new moda. I pray this stage ends ASAP, and (The fourth stage) to revive the true spirit of oud,,, the deposed King of oriental perfumes. Regards

This perfume surprised me SO much, it is an insane compliment magnet, which is not the most important part of it but it's nice and it was SHOCKING. For me this is a mix between the Fruity Chypre DNA and Oriental Spicy DNA but made even more masculine by adding a really and I mean it, REALLY NICE, leather accord. I've been wearing it daily and I can notice that this perfume definitely takes some inspiration from Aventus, the pineapple is the most notorious fruit out of all the fruits it has, but raspberry is a VERY close second, which makes for a more interesting fruit aroma, rather than just having pineapple. The way the saffron and oud combo is managed in this perfume also reminds me a bit of Oud for Greatness by Initio which in my opinion is an amazing thing to add to an aventus type of DNA, making it more interesting, darker and spicier. Finally you can also find some Tuscan Leather inspiration, or La Yuqawam since it's also from Rasasi, because as this perfume dries down, the notes that start coming out more and more are specially the LEATHER and raspberry combo, BUT give it a bit of the freshness that you can find in the Aventus drydown with the oakmoss and patchouli, and finally, you will get some tiny hints of caramel too, keeping it a creamy, sweet and elegant close to skin dry-down. So in less words, you could say that this perfume is 50% Aventus, 25% Oud for greatness, 25% Tuscan Leather. Or for people more familiar with arab dupes, 50% Supremacy Not Only Intense, 25% Oud for Glory, 25% La Yuqawam pour homme. It's insanely good. Damn. I never thought an arab perfume would get me this crazy for it.

I own ignite oud by ahmed al maghribi and lava gold smells identical to that, they seem to project and last the same too. When my bottle of ignite oud (60ml) runs out I’ll definitely buy this instead since you get 100ml for less money. Oh and this doesn’t smell anything like oud maracuja come on guys..

Fruity. Bright. Leathery. Oud. If red had a smell, it would smell red. Great for office. Booty call. Date night. Year-round. I thought its be better than this....I dnt get the 'rich' arab man thingy as one commenter stated....its good...just not as dark as I thought it'd be. 8/10 overall

I am very surprised with this scent. It is more fruity and sweeter then I thought. It smells sophisticated in a way and better in the air. Still gonna test it properly and review it. The sprayer is good and sprays very well.

Okay we as a fragrance community need to address a problem. Every time a fragrance has an oud and ANY fruit note, it immediately gets compared to Oud Maracuja 🤦🏻 This has to stop 😂

I have Hawas Viper from winter, so I need this Hawas so it can maturate for winter 2026 🥰. I will smell like 🧛🏾🤴🏾😬

Ignite Oud by Ahmed Al Maghrbi... yes this!!
