It smells like hawas OG with a hint of sweetness and it's lounger lasting 😍

First impression, but I'm going to come back after some time: The first sprays were a bit unpleasant as I experienced a blast of synthetic citruses and fruits which reminded me of cleaning products. After having let my nose recover, I tried again and immediately picked up where the fragrance was going. In simplest terms, this one smells like Hawas without the spices, a bit less sweeter and more fresh-citrusy. Also, it feels much greener compared to the Hawas flankers. There is a green note which smells funky; it was quite dominant after opening the bottle but it seems to get weaker with time and I think it will eventually die away after days or weeks. Very fresh, much fresher than other Invictus- or Hawas- type of perfumes. The fragrance smells a tiny bit more unisex than Hawas, as it leans more on the citrus-floral side. For now, I'm not impressed at all, but it is still good. Now I'm giving it some time and then come back for the re-review.

Nostalgic, fruity and musky smell. If you're on fragrantica and reading or writing reviews, it's likely that it might be too simple for your olfactory senses on first smell -- I like it because it reminds me of my first fragrance ever in my early teens, Puma 'Man'. Sweet, fruity and youthful. The combination of musk, pear and lemon is wonderful. The star anise provides just a little bit of spice to make it more interesting. Don't buy it expecting the moon and the sun -- it's just a simple, fruity and musky scent, but sometimes when your nose is tired from all the nuclear cinnamon bombs, ambroxan grenades and Angels' Share dupes -- this is just what you need to reset.
