SOTD Hawas Ice

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.
