Product description
Hawas Black is the darker, more mature evolution of the iconic Hawas fragrance line from Rasasi, launched in 2024. It blends fresh, juicy citrus and fruit with smoky woods, earthy moss and warm amber, creating a scent that’s bold, confident and sophisticated, ideal for men who want a distinctive, commanding signature.
Inspiration / Vibe
Rasasi doesn’t officially market Hawas Black as an exact clone, but it’s widely discussed among fragrance fans as having a similar DNA to niche woody‑fruity blends like Nishane Hacivat, especially in its fruity‑woody‑mossy structure, though it remains its own expression.
Notes
Top Notes: Pineapple, Bergamot, Grapefruit
Heart (Middle) Notes: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Jasmine
Base Notes: Oakmoss, Amber, Woody Notes
(Some listings include complimentary variations such as apple, cinnamon, cardamom or musk in different interpretations, but the core profile remains citrus‑fruity into woody‑mossy amber.)
What it smells like
Hawas Black opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and juicy pineapple that’s energetic and attention‑grabbing. As it develops, a woodier, earthy heart of patchouli, cedarwood and jasmine adds depth and a touch of elegance. The dry‑down settles into a rich, mossy, amber‑woody base with oakmoss giving it a mature, grounded presence that lingers with confidence.
Fragrance community experiences vary, some describe it as a sophisticated and masculine citrus‑woody blend with a forest‑like earthiness, while others note that letting the fragrance rest (macerate) can soften stronger citrus or mossy facets.
