My Journey with Rasasi Hawas
Alright, let’s talk about this fragrance, Rasasi Hawas. I kept hearing about it everywhere online, people hyping it up like crazy, especially as a summer beast. So, I got curious, you know? I figured I had to see for myself what all the fuss was about.
Getting My Hands on It
Finding it wasn’t too hard, actually. Jumped online, found a retailer that seemed decent, and placed the order. Took maybe four or five days to arrive. The box was pretty standard, nothing fancy, but the bottle itself felt solid. Heavy glass, cool purple-ish liquid inside. Looked pretty neat sitting on the shelf, I’ll give it that.
First Sprays and Initial Thoughts
So, the moment of truth. I took the cap off, sprayed it once on my wrist, once on my neck. First impression? Wow, okay, that’s strong stuff right out of the gate. Super fresh, almost like a blast of aquatic notes mixed with some kind of sweet fruit. People mention plum and citrus, and yeah, I could definitely get that vibe. It felt very bright and energetic, maybe a little synthetic at the very start, but not in a bad way.
Wearing It Out and About
Over the next couple of weeks, I made it a point to wear Hawas regularly. I wore it:
- To my casual office days.
- Running errands on the weekend.
- Out for evening walks when it was still warm.
I wanted to see how it performed in different settings. The first thing I noticed was the performance. Seriously, this stuff lasts. I’d spray it in the morning, maybe 3-4 sprays, and I could still easily smell it on my skin late into the evening. We’re talking 8+ hours easily, sometimes longer on clothes.
And the projection? It definitely makes itself known for the first few hours. It’s not subtle. I did get a couple of compliments, mostly things like “You smell really fresh” or “What is that you’re wearing?”. So, it definitely gets noticed, which I guess is part of the appeal for many people.
How It Changed Over Time (The Dry Down)
That initial fruity blast does calm down after maybe 30 minutes to an hour. It settles into something still fresh and aquatic, but with more warmth coming through. I started picking up on some ambergris and maybe a touch of woodiness in the base. It stayed pretty sweet throughout its life, kind of like a high-end bubblegum mixed with sea air, if that makes any sense. It’s quite linear, meaning it doesn’t change dramatically, but it does smooth out nicely.
Final Thoughts After Living With It
So, after giving Rasasi Hawas a proper run, what’s the verdict? I get the hype. For the price, the performance is fantastic. It’s a powerful, fresh, sweet, and aquatic scent that really projects and lasts. It definitely leans younger and is perfect for warmer weather, casual settings, maybe even clubbing because it cuts through the noise.
Is it my absolute favorite? Maybe not. It can be a bit loud, and that sweetness might not be for everyone, every single day. But am I glad I bought it? Yeah, definitely. It’s a solid addition, especially when I want something strong and fresh that I know will last all day and get noticed. It delivered on its promises, pretty much exactly what people described online. It’s a workhorse fragrance for sure.
