Hawas Chrome

This is honestly one of the best ones in the Hawas line. My girlfriend LOVES this one out of all the Hawas line, especially the Ice & the Sapphire. It is a very good fruity fragrance which dries down into a very nice vanilla & it lasts VERY long. I can spray this at like 10:00am & still be complimented on it at 10:00pm. I understand skin chemistries are different, but on my skin, this one lasts super long. This is one of MY favorites out of the Hawas line, probably only rivaled by Hawas Sapphire or Hawas Ice.

My bottle noticably needed to mature but eventually developed into what I had originally sampled. This has that Erba Pura style of scent profile while noticably having a dense and strong ambery musky base while that water note also adds a certain thickness as well overall. You get that tropical shampoo style of scent but the synthetic nature is short lived and it begins to feel more of a naturally creamy musk with a bit of warm depth from the amber and aquatics which gives it a lot of body.

I'll give my honest opinion. I'm extremely critical when it comes to perfumes. Hawas Chrome, by Rassasi, is a perfume that many people report to be a dupe of Erba Gold, by Xerjoff. But I’ll say this right away: to me, it is not a dupe, but rather a reinterpretation. This becomes noticeable as soon as you compare the olfactory pyramid of both. There are distinct notes, but both walk side by side in their proposition of a tropical, sweet, and sophisticated fruity fragrance.

I smelled erba gold like once and briefly and on a tester strip. However i own erba pura and i dont think theyre that similar. Im not sure if this was a intended flip or something but this developed very nicely. Upon first opening this it smelled like a bunch of fruit notes and was pretty syntenic after some time this became addicting. Juicy peach energizing and well blended. I would say this is closer to erba gold based on my vague memory. 9/10

I've been using it for a week and I'm completely impressed with its longevity and projection. On my skin, the scent lasts over 20 hours, and on clothes, much longer. As for projection, I'd say it lasts over 10 hours on my skin. It smells delicious, but it smells very similar to pure herbal fragrance. If you don't like Erba Pura fragrance, don't buy it.
