Rasasi Hawas For Him Decant
Fresh apple, cinnamon and musk. Absurd value and a compliment magnet.
The fragrance
What Rasasi Hawas For Him actually smells like
Hawas is the fragrance that Middle Eastern house enthusiasts recommend before anything else, and it deserves the reputation. A crisp apple and bergamot opening with a dusting of cinnamon leads into a cardamom-and-jasmine heart, and a clean musk-and-cedar base carries it for the rest of the day. It reads fresh, slightly spicy and unusually well-blended.
Longevity is nine to ten hours with strong projection, which at this price is remarkable. It is versatile in a way most value fragrances are not — genuinely wearable in summer and in winter, at work and at dinner.
It is also the fragrance we most often use to demonstrate that price and quality are only loosely correlated. A 10 ml decant costs less than a takeaway lunch.
