This immediately reminds me of Xerjoff Torino 21
The similarity is so close that it is shocking..
Fresh, citrusy (lime), fruity (green apple), aromatic, sweet, zesty, bit minty opening
Bright, loud, youthful, energetic, playful type of scent
A bit synthetic but well-blended
Can be used in the office and appropriate for large outdoor gatherings
Great projection and sillage
Warm, bit powdery, creamy, musky, aquatic, resinous dry down
It is strong for the first 3-4 hours with minimal number of sprays and stays long as a skin scent
Can last an 8-hour shift
Classic Hawas bottle, light green to yellow going upwards, heavy gold cap, good atomizer
Great overall performance
I would highly recommend Hawas Verde
For the price point and the good replication of Torino 23.. it is a "must have"
It is definitely blind buy safe, mass-appealing and easy to wear
I do not know if after a few weeks of maceration/maturation, the smell would change.. the box does say: MFG. OCT. 2025
Torino 21 vs Hawas Verde:
Longevity: Torino 21 wins by the slightest margin
Projection: Verde nudges ahead, ever so slightly
Sillage: very similar scent trail
Performance: Torino 21 edges Verde out by a hair
Potential for Headache: with few sprays Verde can immediately cause headache, Torino 21 on the other hand causes headache when over sprayed
More fruity: Verde is a touch ahead
Price tag: $60 vs $210
Quality: Xerjoff is known for Quality but Rasasi did not a good job here
Bottomline: Verde can replace Torino 21 any day.. It can do the job and can stand-in for the OG
