Hawwa Red

Maceration update: This perfume is clean. It’s like a female cologne! It’s stunning. Definite blind buy. You get fruits at the start but I wouldn’t say this is a fruity perfume once that hit has gone. It’s like I had a nice shower. Also, it now lasts me up to six hours. It probably needs longer to sit to get even better but it’s sat for 2 months now, so it’s almost there. Old review: I got this perfume for about £13, which is an insane price. I didn’t want Zawwa Pink because I already have Delilah as a Delina dupe. I just wanted to try this one because I don’t really own any fruity perfumes (except L’aventure Femme which is grim). My bottle was unfortunately only made last month so I think it needs to macerate to get the full effect. It starts quite fruity (not in a juvenile way!), but then the dry down has a cologne feel but not a masculine cologne feel. I don’t know if it’s the grapefruit giving it but it’s so beautiful and it’s actually very “sexy” smelling, which I would never expect from reading those notes. So this is my sixth hour wearing it and it’s almost gone and that’s why I think a damn good macerate will improve everything about this scent. At £13 a bottle (and a beautiful bottle and box at that!), you might as well give it a go. I will probably wear it this summer but I might actually give it a go for my brother in law’s wedding this October too because it’s got a fancy smell (I was going to wear Gucci Rush because I’m all red that day). I’ll check back in when I’ve macerated!

Is it me or does this smell like a weaker, but smoother Mayar by Lattafa? I get a lot of the raspberry and grapefruit in this just like Mayar, I’ll let it sit and see if it changes, but my bottle is from 9/23 so over a year old so I’m thinking this is as mature as it’s going to get. I’ll update at a later date if anything changes and what’s the longevity, this is a first impression. 1/27/25 So I’ve been wearing this for the past few weeks and here are my notes. It’s a well blended fruit cocktail with moderate projection, and 8+ hours on clothes and until you literally scrub it off your skin. It’s in that same angel nova DNA however it’s not screechy and there isn’t a very sharp grapefruit so I do like this a little better not gonna lie. 10 out of 10 for me and the packaging is just so beautiful.

Just got this. It’s allegedly supposed to smell like rouge trafalgar by dior which I’ve never smelled before. It’s a slightly sharp citrusy fruity champagne and the sharpness goes down in a few seconds (very quickly). The packaging has such bougie vibes It’s juicy, fruity I think I can smell raspberry, champagne, peach, orange and grapefruit. There is a nice vanilla in this too. One sniff is a fun fruit bomb, and one sniff is a very subtle cosy vanilla. I’m happy with this, I will update with longevity as I continue to wear it. I’ve washed my arms a few times (for cleanliness) and I’ve put on a Korean banana skin lotion and idk if it’s because of that but it’s got a slight masculine vibe to it now. I like it 😁

This beauty is amazing! I’m so glad it’s added here. I got it when I bought the pink one just out of curiosity and let me tell you, she is the more beautiful. I can foresee this bottle getting used up really fast! The clincher for me isn’t the divine scent that’s been described here, it’s the longevity. The first test it went from 8 pm until the next morning! Opens with a grassy green cassis and berry tartness, spreads into a juicy and fruity floral mid, almost rose like although no rose listed (maybe the cassis?). The heart lasts a very long time and then, at the end, she dries into a musky clean patchouli. A love for me! I need a backup ASAP!

Absolutely gorgeous fruity scent!! 😍 It’s so juicy and sweet and sexy and playful! I almost get a violet note! Beautiful strawberry 🍓 with raspberry, and very sweet candied almost syrupy blackberry ohh my so delicious 🤤😍!! Some musk and a tiny tiny bit of patchouli for the depth. If the patchouli note scares you don’t worry. You can’t even smell it. Absolutely beautiful scent !! It reminds me a little bit of the discontinued “VIP Private Show” by Britney Spears that I loveeeee!!! 😍😍😍 Absolutely gorgeous!!!!! Well done Zimaya!!! 👏👏❤️
