Hawas Black

to me it smells like froot loops in the opening. its really nice. after a while it does become mossy which i really like. i held off on getting this for quite a while as when i sampled it at a store the tester strip smelt very nature oriented and my mom hated it. when i finally ended up getting it, my mom liked it a lot more and it really holds that froot loop-like smell for a while. i assume the batches can be very different and i actually kinda wish mine was more earthy. people complaining about this either have a bad batch or are just basic. "mossy" and "earthy" are some of the top accords on here, you should go into this knowing that. not blind buy safe it would seem, but if you're okay with it being "earthy" and "mossy" i would say go for it. i like it a lot, its really good in my opinion, just know what it is before getting it :D

Rasasi Hawas Black- This to my nose is a 1 to 1 with Nishane Hacivat, and I plan to review Hacivat cause I have both bottles. However, Hawas Black- I'll say it....Is a GOAT fragrance IMO. This scent with 6 sprays will last all day and the fragrance on my skin goes from Top, mid and the base beautifully. Hawas Black gives CDNIM a run for it's money and then some. There are some Cons with Hawas Black, Most folks have two sides of this coin. Either Hawas Black smells too synthetic, and for me I don't get that at all. The other is that Hawas Black is too oily, and that I get. So spray with caution especially on clothes. If you love that Aventus/CDNIM type DNA try out both Hacivat from Nishane and Hawas Black it's all in that realm of earthy, mossy type vibes but in a magnificent way. Rasasi Hawas Black- 9/10. Yall keep smelling your best!

Bought it, sold it months later and just bought again for $30 lol. I do that sometimes. This is honestly the only hawas so far that I will wear. They mostly all smell good but not my style. I just love the Aventus DNA, can't help it. I have several CDNIM line, Afnan Supremacy Silver, Mercedes Select, etc etc and actual Aventus. This is a mossy earthy take on it. Smelling up close you get the moss and patchouli as well as other notes. In the air and in your sillage you get citrus and woods, it is a heavy projector and performer. CDNIM has that birch and Smoky aspect that this does not. However, this stuff is really nice imo for $30 and yes I know it is Havivat inspired but what is Havivat an inspiration of? Worth getting if you love the DNA and like some twists on it.

Personally a fan of this. I've never smelled Hacivat, but someone who has told me they preferred this to the original, so make of that what you will. The opening is relatively warm, woody and citrusy, and in the drydown the oakmoss completely takes over and gives the fragrance a nice freshness that's different from your regular freshies. To me, the mossy aspect of it is the best part; it renders a very refreshing and pleasant feeling. It sits nicely on clothes, preserving the warmer, woodier characteristics of the opening, so I recommend doing that. It's just a very nice fragrance to smell on yourself.

Really nice citrusy, woody, somewhat leathery opening, was a blast. The pineapple note kind of makes it slightly sweet but just really slightly so that it's not a craaaazy sharp citrusy blast. Slowly but surely it just settles back and transform into this mossy, woody, hazy scent. The patchouli reeeeally stands out, just beautifully blended. I feel like this one is quite unique, not sure if it's one of those trying to be another frag but so far it's just unique and great. A really picturesque fragrance. Just go ahead and buy it!
