Wearing this gem today on a 70F+ day. Already got 2 compliments and it’s not even 9am yet.

I’ve have had this one in my collection for ages, but I haven’t gave it a full wear until today. I haven’t been too interested on it because it’s a freshie (note my favorite profile); an alternative to Parfums de Marly Sedley. It has a very enjoyable profile and got me compliments. It opens very fresh, citrusy, minty and herbal. The dry down evolves to a more diffusive and airy light citrusy, mossy, a bit sweeter scent. The projection and longevity are average to the lighter site, even over spraying it. It will need reapplication after 4-5hrs, if you want to be noticed.

Hawas Ice by Rasasi is a flanker to the ultra-popular original Hawas, launched in 2023. It’s designed to be a more refined, slightly fruitier, and more "icy" version of the original DNA. ​Fragrance Profile ​Top Notes: Apple, Italian Lemon, Sicilian Bergamot, and Star Anise. ​Middle Notes: Plum, Orange Blossom, and Cardamom. ​Base Notes: Musk, Amber, Driftwood, and Moss. ​Longevity & Performance ​This is widely considered a "beast mode" freshie. ​Longevity: You can easily expect 10–12+ hours on skin, and it will stay on clothes until they are washed. ​Projection/Sillage: It is very loud in the first 2–3 hours. It projects strongly, so you don’t need many sprays to fill a room. ​Occasion ​It is highly versatile but leans toward warm weather. ​Best for: Summer days, gym sessions, outdoor events, and casual hangouts. ​Vibe: Very clean, mass-appealing, and energetic. Because of its strength, it also works well for summer nights and clubbing. ​Is it a Clone? ​This is a common point of debate. ​Technically: It is not a direct 1-to-1 clone of a specific designer fragrance. Instead, it is a flanker of Rasasi's own original Hawas. ​The DNA: The original Hawas was famously inspired by the Invictus (Paco Rabanne) style but with an added aquatic/plum twist. Hawas Ice moves slightly away from that "bubblegum" aquatic feel and adds a cooling, citrusy opening that some compare to a mix between the original Hawas and YSL Y EDP. ​In short, it’s a high-performance, original Middle Eastern twist on the modern "blue" fragrance category rather than a simple clone.
