EVERY Rasasi Hawas Fragrance Ranked From S-TIER To UNWEARABLE

Overall Take

The reviewer ranks 29 Rasasi Hawas releases from S to D tier. His main point is that the range has become crowded with fragrances inspired by well-known scents: some are excellent, while others are hard to wear or offer little over cheaper alternatives.

Hawas Ice, Tropical, Highness, and Thunder are his S-tier favorites. London, Atlantis, Terra, and Venom are his D-tier skips. The rankings are personal, and he says Nautilus could drop from C to D depending on the day.

Rankings and Product Notes

S Tier

• Hawas Ice — An improved take on the original: fresher, brisker, brighter, and easier to wear.
• Hawas Tropical — Similar to Le Beau Paradise Garden. Smooth, high-quality green fig and coconut with a slightly sweeter touch; a strong compliment-getter for spring through fall.
• Hawas Highness — In the Sospiro Vibrato style, but less powdery and fizzier and brighter. Lively, easy to wear, and especially suited to spring, summer, and early fall.
• Hawas Thunder — Similar to YSL Myself Absolute: clean, slightly sweet, soapy, and easy to wear year-round. The reviewer loves it, though he notes that comparable alternatives exist. He moved it up from A to S.

A Tier

• Hawas Elixir — A Le Male Elixir-style scent with honeyed sweetness and the spice and punch the reviewer likes in the original Hawas. He prefers it to Exotic; performance is excellent.
• Hawas Private Lucio (Luceo) — Sospiro Vibrato-adjacent, though not a direct copy. Smooth, refined, and dressy, with citrus and ginger over polished florals and woods. The reviewer’s favorite of the Private releases so far.
• Hawas Ice Freeze — Closest to Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim, with a Dior Homme Cologne-like element. The reviewer says it lasts and projects longer than the Louis Vuitton, with good quality and compliment appeal.
• Hawas La Mer — Pacific Chill-inspired, but creamier, drier, and more focused on green fig. A bright, refreshing spring/summer option, though not a one-to-one replacement.
• Hawas Overdose — An Allure Homme Sport-style warm vanilla and spice scent with notably strong performance and good quality. The reviewer sees it as one of the better options, though cheaper alternatives may offer better value.
• Hawas Fire — Similar to Imperial Valley by Giza: fruity, sweet, and ambery, with strong presence and versatility. Its scent, performance, and compliment potential earn it A tier.
• Hawas Malibu — Similar to Le Beau Le Parfum, with creamy coconut, sweetness, and tropical warmth. Good performance; a good choice for fans of the original style, though not a dramatic reinterpretation.
• Hawas Verde — Similar to Torino 21: very green, minty, fresh, and brisk. Well-made in the reviewer’s view, but you need to enjoy mint; he considers it a lower A.

B Tier

• Original Hawas — Sweet, fruity aquatic freshness with a bubblegum opening, similar to Invictus or Invictus Aqua. Inexpensive, performs well, and may draw compliments, but is now very familiar and has many competitors.
• Hawas Black — A deeper, darker, heavier take in the Hawas Oud style, with strong performance. The reviewer likes the smell, but recognizes that many people may not want this darker profile.
• Hawas Sapphire — Blue Talisman-inspired, with guava adding a tropical opening. Fresh, versatile, and decent quality; especially suited to spring through fall, though not a must-own for the reviewer.
• Hawas Majestic — A competent Baccarat Rouge 540-style fragrance, somewhat fruitier and more citrus-forward. It has good presence and acceptable quality, but costs more than some competing alternatives and does not stand out.
• Hawas Kobra — Similar to Louis Vuitton Imagination and reasonably executed, but the reviewer prefers other Imagination alternatives.
• Hawas Chrome — Similar to Erba Pura, and possibly Erba Gold: very sweet and fruit-bowl-like, sometimes leaning feminine. Likely to appeal to fans of that style.

C Tier

• Hawas Exotic — Similar to Le Male Elixir Absolu, with creamy coconut and iris. The reviewer finds it lacks the original’s spice and punch, and prefers both the original Hawas and Hawas Elixir.
• Hawas Viper — A Black Afgano-style scent that is reasonably executed, but harsh and difficult to wear. The reviewer thinks most Hawas buyers would prefer other releases.
• Hawas Private Dolce — Bond No. 9 Tribeca-adjacent, with cacao and florals; unisex but somewhat feminine, powdery, and creamy. It did not come together well on the reviewer’s skin, though he noted that the very small early online response was positive.
• Hawas Boa — A creator collaboration with tropical fruit and citrus up top, then resinous smoke and woods. The clash between the fruity and dark elements did not work for the reviewer, and he says many people he tested it with also disliked it.
• Hawas Nautilus — Similar to Xerjoff 40 Knots: woody, ambery, and deep-marine rather than straightforwardly aquatic, with a holiday-spice impression. The reviewer liked it less over time and says it might belong in D tier.
• Hawas Gold Digger — Similar to Ultra Male and works as a dupe, but the reviewer finds little value over cheaper alternatives such as 9 p.m. and Reyhaan Lion. He also criticizes the obviousness of the name.
• Hawas Lava Gold — Fruity, ambery, leathery, and saffron-tinged. The reviewer finds it less wearable than many Hawas releases and says cheaper similar scents exist.

D Tier

• Hawas London — Similar to Brompton Immortals, with an older, soapy, floral character. The reviewer thinks some people may find it reminiscent of “grandma’s soap” and says it is unlikely to suit most buyers.
• Hawas Atlantis — Intended to evoke Invictus Legend, but the reviewer finds it overly aromatic and green, with a seaweed-like quality. The opening is especially unpleasant to him, even if the drydown becomes easier to wear.
• Hawas Private Terra — Ganymede/Crystal Saffron-style, but darker, earthier, leatherier, and smokier. It performs strongly, but the reviewer thinks it removes the sparkle people like in that style.
• Hawas Venom — Harsh leather, smoky incense, and woods; a little vanilla improves the drydown, but the reviewer still recommends skipping it.
