Hawas Black by Rasasi

Eau de Parfum • Men • Fruity Woody Mossy / Aromatic

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 (short)

Top Notes:

Pineapple, Bergamot, Grapefruit 

Heart (Middle) Notes:

Patchouli, Cedarwood, Jasmine

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. 

Performance

• Longevity: Moderate to long — typically 8–12+ hours on skin or clothing.  
• Sillage: Moderate to strong — noticeable without overwhelming.  
• Projection: Bright and fresh up top, then smooths into a woody‑mossy, confident trail.  

Community notes often mention that the dry‑down can feel intense and earthy, and performance may feel stronger after some maceration. 

Best for

• Evening & formal occasions — bold and sophisticated presence.  
• Cooler weather & autumn/winter — woody‑mossy base shines in cold temperatures.  
• Office or confident daily wear — professional yet expressive.  
• Fans of woody‑fruity or chypre‑leaning scents — especially if you enjoy modern masculine blends with citrus top and deep mossy base.
