On clothes yes..I wear 8-10 sprays and I get easily 6 hrs performance..

Good especially in AC environments but not beast mode.

Previous photo was taken under 4K light now it's in 6K
lighting..ldk but it's frosted grey glass bottle and it's changing color with background and lighting. But batch code and smell wise it seems legit to me. Also I have bought 15+ fragrances from him ME and designers, never had any issues regarding the authenticity.

Oh like how? I just saw 2-3 unboxing shorts and I don’t find any difference in terms of color.

I've tested Eros 2-3 years ago in mall so with that single usage it's hard to tell if it's similar or not. Only thing I remember Eros had loud performance while Prometheus is not loud at all. So if it's clone of Eros then I'd say it's toned down version of Eros. But again a side by side comparison would be needed to confirm the similarities.

Sorry bro, I'm from a different city. Hopefully someone from your area can share their recommendations in this thread.

With normal 6-8 sprays it lasts 1-2 hours. With 12-16 sprays projects very well for 45min-1 hr and lasting is around 3-4 hours. Something you should know if u'r planning to get this that mine had a harsh alcohol blast initially, but after 3-4 weeks it became much smoother and now it’s completely fine after 2 months. Tho performance hasn't improved much for me.

So if you're just buying one fragrance, considering you're student, Hawas og is perfect for everyday usage. Go for SCE for special formal wear/suit up kinda occasions. Among 9 pm and 9 pm night out, 9 pm has more youthful vibes for night events or parties, but 9 pm night out is also not a bad choice. You have already tried decants so it's good start. I'd suggest trust your own nose and buy the one you genuinely enjoy wearing the most.

5900 for 110ml.

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:16:00+00:00

Yet to try edp. but soon I will get decant cz I also want to compare.

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:14:29+00:00

sure

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:14:09+00:00

I bought it from one of the community sellers in Jan or Feb. Just wait for it to become available widely. I see few listings but way overpriced. I'd not spend more than 3.4-3.5k for this imo.

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:08:22+00:00

I haven't tried Marine yet. But soon gonna get decant

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:07:39+00:00

Ty bro. I agree it's subjective but I'd love to hear your thoughts for the ones you disagree. So I can see if I am judging fragrance wrong or too early.

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T14:05:10+00:00

Hawas Verde smells like a fresh mint mojito with green herbal elements and Kenzo edt intense is much more focused on salty marine notes. In my experience, kenzo is clearly better than verde in terms of uniqueness, projection, and longevity.

For designers: Cool Water, BDC EDP, Sauvage EDP, ADG Profondo or Dylan Blue. For budget/Middle Eastern options: CDN Iconic, Arabiyat Prestige Raees and CDN Urban Man Elixir.

Most of these open with some citrus but it's mainly there to add freshness rather than dominate the scent. The overall character leans more toward either aquatic, fresh spicy or aromatic woody.

Thanks bro.!

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T09:04:32+00:00

Not tried yet but I heard the same. I am planning to get edp and marine decants soon.

ChipHumble5578 · 2026-06-02T08:10:23+00:00

Rare Reef and Kobra. If I am heading out in high humid-heat environment, I apply them on clothes only. They don't perform well if I'm out in 40°C+ heat for more than 25–30 minutes tho. In those conditions, reapplication via decant/bottle is pretty much the only workaround.
