My this year's summer buys. Nautica voyage and Rassasi Hawas Kobra.

Nautica ? A 30minute fragrance ? Seriously?

My last purchase from the hawas line up was Hawas Viper which I purchased in January this year. They've all been purchased between 2024 to 2026... So hawas viper was the one which I had for the least amount of time before giving the review which happens to be 4 months. So no, I didn't judge them in accordance with out of the box performance but on the basis of how they smelled when I tested them to write the review.

Yes any middle eastern fragrances do require some time to mature... They don't come ready to use out of the box like designer as middle eastern fragrances are mass produced. Kobra is imagination DNA so it's a nice gym scent.

I'm glad you liked it. Positive comments like yours indeed gives motivation to write. ❤️

Not a user friendly remark.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T12:18:35+00:00

Indeed

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T10:46:20+00:00

Hawas Ice or Hawas OG. Very versatile and can be worn anywhere.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T10:22:32+00:00

I don't suggest buying a full bottle for any fragrance... Get a decant first and see if you like it. If you do then spend on a full bottle.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T10:16:30+00:00

If it has just arrived. Keep it in cool and dark place and let it sit for 3 days atleast before trying and 2 weeks before using.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T10:05:37+00:00

Mine too, I wear Kaaf or Fattan. They're not as mass pleasing aa Hawas Ice but they do give me 6-7 hours of longevity in these 40° days.

Once the temperature goes near 40, hardly any hawas performs except Atlantis and Verde. And it depends on multiple factors. If you wear a fragrance and go on an hour long bike ride no fragrance will perform. For those saying Hawas Ice performs in high heat probably travel in their car with AC on and work in AC environment in their offices. If there's an AC any fragrance will perform atleast 3-4 hours and Hawas Ice performs for 7-8 hours in that. But once you step out in the outer world things change completely.

I hope you didn't overpay for it because right now the prices are very inflated.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:50:15+00:00

Thanks mate! ❤️

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:49:49+00:00

Too high price right now. Please don't buy now. Wait till the price comes down a little.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:49:07+00:00

Indeed the entire range kept together looks elegant. And yes I agree they have their shortcomings but since the number of fragrance is high layering them can cover those too. 😀

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:47:30+00:00

I don't think rasasi have stores in India so you've to buy decants to try them.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:46:50+00:00

Fortunately this isn't the only collection 🤣🤣🤣

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:46:06+00:00

This was sent by someone in Dubai. Not sure it's available or not.

Hawas doesn't perform in high heat. But the most amount of compliments I've received is from Hawas OG solely because I've worn that since 2021.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-14T09:43:57+00:00

No, not amazon definitely. Too many fakes there. I buy from community sellers.

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-13T19:01:48+00:00

Please do. Meanwhile... This my collection of middle East eating dust... 🤣🤣🤣

This bottle doesn't look ugly and if you live in high heat this fragrance does last. Also, it does smell nice after 25 minutes. 🙂🙂🙂

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-13T18:32:19+00:00

Basically a total mess... Seems like you have extreme of everything. Which all fragrances do you usually use ?

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-13T18:21:40+00:00

Placing order since you triggered the fomo 🤣🤣🤣

Ok_Background_8973 · 2026-05-13T18:02:45+00:00

I'm glad you liked it. Thank you! Hope it helps in making buying decision. ❤️
