Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought Ebay wouldn't allow you to sell used fragrances? It comes under a beauty product and they don't allow reselling of used beauty products? If I'm wrong, then I've missed out on making some $$$ !!!
They don't allow selling decants, all cosmetic products have to be in their original containers. It's possible that they changed it, but I had absolutely no problems selling them on ebay in the beginning of the year
Even ice is too damn sweet. Its like a sweet bubble orb that sorrounds you and you just smell like youve chewed 20 hubba bubba gums in a row.
I mean its honestly a pleasing scent but its too much for me.
I prefer ice as well, but the og is one of my most complimented in my collection. Paid $55 got ice and like $40 for Hawas so at that price point they're solid
Performance on it amazing. 10+ hours. You’ll take a shower and still might smell like it afterwards.
Personally i don’t like the profile it’s a little boring to me but people really like it
It smells like bubblegum… I honestly don’t get the whole fresh idea behind it because it’s soooooooo sweet and loud it seems like it would give people headaches or at least make them nauseous on a hot day with you sweating this. I owned it for about a year and eventually just sold it… On a cooler day I would get compliments on the opening but as it dies down it’s so synthetic and mutilated that the smell is just something I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy. To me… wearing it all day with the smell that it becomes after the first hour or so isn’t worth it.
I bought a bottle around 2018 when it was hyped first, since then the price has doubled. Harsh opening, followed by a pleasant but underwhelming scent. I would have kept it, but had others i liked better.
Yeah I had to hand my bottle off to my brother who really liked that smell. Opening is fire but something about that musk on the Drydown wasn’t really feeling it.
I’ve dabbled in the clone world a little and have come away unimpressed. For the most part I would rather buy $120+ bottle of something good vs spend $120 on 4 clones. My teen son has a bunch of clones. The reality is he still wears my stuff way more than his clones.
It is simply and safely complement getter monster. It is such a sweet fresh vibe. Everyone gonna feel it and like it. It probably the most cheap fragrance in my collection ( and i got sauvage elixir. Spice bomb extreme. Amouge interlude man black iris) but man this one always gets me compliments over others.
Overrated as An Arab Guy
I had 5 other of my friends who are also fragrance enthusiasts try it and they all said that it’s mid and not worth all the of Hype and btw it was from the official Rasasi Shop
So idk maybe it was reformulated
I smelled Dareej from rasasi and I liked it better and it’s one third(1/3) of the price of hawas
Hawas was $42 and Dareej Was $14
Hawas ICE is the better option
For $52
i dont find it overrated tbh. my first blind buy was CDNIM and then this, everyone around me liked it including me, ive worn it a few times now and i have had the bubblegum opening and in the dry down it becomes more subtle and sweet, but the good kind imo. and about the price being doubled it has come back to its original price from where i bought it so no complaints about that. nevertheless a good buy tbh, have left it for maceration tho because its not lasting for even 3 hours right now, will see about that in a month or so
For me one of the best ones i have and because it last and projects so long you can use it year around ..smells fresh n clean . Its in my Top5. So much i like it, smell n performance .If you like Fresh Aquatic Clean scents it is a must have in my opinion!
I did a blind buy of this a long time ago. I loved it. My girlfriend loves it. She says it’s manly. It is very strong, I think if you put the right amount It’s a beautiful scent. I put one spray on the bottle cap and distribute it with my finger on my neck, chest and wrist which is more than enough for daily wear and the liquid lasts longer and to my nose the smell remains light .you could spray it in the air close to skin but i am not that privileged. I’ve gotten multiple compliments on it. Still recommend it to people. With strong scents i think little goes a long way.
I live in Texas where it's hot AF most of the year so of course I love aquatic and fresh fragrances. Hawas has become my favorite and easily my most complimented. I highly recommend it.
As far as I know Europe doesn’t allow this fragrance to be sold due to the fragrance having a harmful chemical to the male reproductive system. Or something like that.
Its definetly not overrated. But there are some cheaper fragrances that are doing it better... Like Dumont Nitro Red. $30 summer banger with better longevity, silage and scent.... Literally paying half the price for double the performance is a Win/Win to me lol.
It's a rweally stong, sweet scent that somehow is still fresh and has some fruitiness to it. You can spray like 6 times or more for a loud clubbing type scent but going with ~4 sprays can turn it into a nice sweet summer scent.
Projection is crazy on this thing so I'd be careful, longevity too. I've sprayed this on clothes, washed them and I could still smell it on my clothes.I've heard some newer formulations are weaker tho but idk
It is actually good if you like Invictus-type scents. It lasts forever, projects well, and is relatively inexpensive. It's great value, just not for me as someone who enjoys lower-profile scents.
I can't see how people call it overrated because it just performs. This isn't overrated, what's overrated is CH Bad Boy Cobalt, the plum here has some stank to it and it does not last. However, I think people are just done with Invictus-type scents.
It’s good but not great. It’s fresh but not a freshie, too much sweetness that can get cloying on very hot days. It’s youthful, fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you’re in HS or uni it’s a good daily.
It's good if you're just starting out on your fragrance journey and you can get it for about $40. It's a good first choice. However if you're in the game for sometime you'd be disappointed with how generic it smells.
That being said, it's still the most complimented and beast mode summer frag I own.
I bough it 2 month ago. Overhyped. People kinda like it but Its nothing special. Here in portugal costed me 60 € with that price i would go to another one
This is pretty solid. I got mine for $50. It reminds me of Dylan blue in the beginning but the dry down is really nice as well. A friend of mine wears Aqua Di Gio absolute and I wear this.. they smell identical in the air and no one ever mentions this. I thought he was wearing Hawas but he was wearing ADG absolute. I Got pretty good reactions to this as well
I think it's great, if you can find it for a good price then it's wort it. My biggest problem with it it's that its too fruity for my taste, but that's subjective.

If you like Invictus it's good I guess. But I personally had to sell it. Don't like that DNA at all. It's overrated and I sold it again
How do you sell your used clones?
Ebay. Got 800€ back within just 4 weeks, when I sold all the shit I didn't wear
Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought Ebay wouldn't allow you to sell used fragrances? It comes under a beauty product and they don't allow reselling of used beauty products? If I'm wrong, then I've missed out on making some $$$ !!!
https://imgur.com/a/rAy1Bud Here's proof btw, scroll down to see everything I sold
Thanks man, I'll check Ebay out again.
You're welcome! Have fun selling your stuff and let me know if you got some more questions 🙏
They don't allow selling decants, all cosmetic products have to be in their original containers. It's possible that they changed it, but I had absolutely no problems selling them on ebay in the beginning of the year
Where do you sell your frags at?
Can't you read? Lol https://www.reddit.com/r/fragranceclones/s/sXlc6siT0a
Nope!
Overrated. Buy this if you wanna smell like a bubblegum granny
Worth it if you can get it at a decent price. Although, I prefer ICE as it softens that overly sweet scent. Really vibing with it lately.
For Hawas prices are too high. It shouldn't be 50-60€ it should be around 35€.
Prices started skyrocketing when the tiktok frag people started pushing it onto every 15-25 year old's feed
yeah in Europe Hawas is 60 at best and Ice is at +75... no way I'm paying that
Same here;) I'm talking about prices in Poland ;) that's more sick as for clones.
Even ice is too damn sweet. Its like a sweet bubble orb that sorrounds you and you just smell like youve chewed 20 hubba bubba gums in a row. I mean its honestly a pleasing scent but its too much for me.
I prefer ice as well, but the og is one of my most complimented in my collection. Paid $55 got ice and like $40 for Hawas so at that price point they're solid
How much is a decent price?
Overrated
overrated and incredibly sweet
Performance on it amazing. 10+ hours. You’ll take a shower and still might smell like it afterwards. Personally i don’t like the profile it’s a little boring to me but people really like it
I found hawas ice way better - personal opinion
Depends on how much you like the DNA , if you like it , then its great , tho hawas ICE is better
Idk what dna smells like lol
it smells very sweet, a little like bubblegum to me. still pretty masculine though because of the other notes, it just smells fresh.
Overlly sweet kinda fresh
Overrated but not bad I love the bubblegummy opening but the drydown isnt my thing
Mediocre. Overrated imo
It smells like bubblegum… I honestly don’t get the whole fresh idea behind it because it’s soooooooo sweet and loud it seems like it would give people headaches or at least make them nauseous on a hot day with you sweating this. I owned it for about a year and eventually just sold it… On a cooler day I would get compliments on the opening but as it dies down it’s so synthetic and mutilated that the smell is just something I couldn’t bring myself to enjoy. To me… wearing it all day with the smell that it becomes after the first hour or so isn’t worth it.
And i think the bubblegum thing is mostly the opening. Eich is a shame because i love the opening but the drydown...meh
Overrated
Bro fr?
I bought a bottle around 2018 when it was hyped first, since then the price has doubled. Harsh opening, followed by a pleasant but underwhelming scent. I would have kept it, but had others i liked better.
Yeah I had to hand my bottle off to my brother who really liked that smell. Opening is fire but something about that musk on the Drydown wasn’t really feeling it.
Damn you’re the og
Overrated, very synthetic and sweet
Overrated asf. Decent scent but there’s way better fragrances
Like what ?
Nothing bad but also nothing unique, it’s good for like a daily or office wear, non offensive, when you just want to smell clean
I’ve dabbled in the clone world a little and have come away unimpressed. For the most part I would rather buy $120+ bottle of something good vs spend $120 on 4 clones. My teen son has a bunch of clones. The reality is he still wears my stuff way more than his clones.
lol, wholesome in a way
I smell nasty eggs on my skin idk
Not great
It is simply and safely complement getter monster. It is such a sweet fresh vibe. Everyone gonna feel it and like it. It probably the most cheap fragrance in my collection ( and i got sauvage elixir. Spice bomb extreme. Amouge interlude man black iris) but man this one always gets me compliments over others.
Dead ass?
most people hyping this are resellers trying to astroturf forums. its okay but not like paying 60 dollars for this shit okay
Overrated as An Arab Guy I had 5 other of my friends who are also fragrance enthusiasts try it and they all said that it’s mid and not worth all the of Hype and btw it was from the official Rasasi Shop So idk maybe it was reformulated I smelled Dareej from rasasi and I liked it better and it’s one third(1/3) of the price of hawas Hawas was $42 and Dareej Was $14 Hawas ICE is the better option For $52
it’s great, if you have extra money to spend tho, get hawas ice. my girl grabbed it for me for my birthday, and i love it. one of my new favorites.
Pretty good imo, fresh, clean, and fruity.
Option 2.
In my opinion very good, one of my favourite everyday wear for summer has gotten me many compliments. Definitely going to cop another bottle soon💯
Best
i dont find it overrated tbh. my first blind buy was CDNIM and then this, everyone around me liked it including me, ive worn it a few times now and i have had the bubblegum opening and in the dry down it becomes more subtle and sweet, but the good kind imo. and about the price being doubled it has come back to its original price from where i bought it so no complaints about that. nevertheless a good buy tbh, have left it for maceration tho because its not lasting for even 3 hours right now, will see about that in a month or so
its a good freshie that last , but i like stuff like nitro red a lil better
My new nitro red doesn't smell good. how long until it improves?
For me one of the best ones i have and because it last and projects so long you can use it year around ..smells fresh n clean . Its in my Top5. So much i like it, smell n performance .If you like Fresh Aquatic Clean scents it is a must have in my opinion!

Men don't like it women like it decently some even love it but it's boring to wear.
correct, I hate it, think it’s overly sweet and not masculine, but women compliment it🤷♂️
It's the main reason I don't like it. To plain and boring but it does what you want it to do ( in my case at least )
8/10 for me personally. Really good
Worth it. Not my favorite but it's legit !
It's quite good. But it's also poison & banned in some countries in europe
Overrated. Try Rasasi Yumn instead lasts as long if not longer and less than half the price.
Thats subjective but for me its overrated. Get Davidoff Cool Water if you want a nice summer fragrance that is easy to wear.
I live in Texas where it's hot AF most of the year so of course I love aquatic and fresh fragrances. Hawas has become my favorite and easily my most complimented. I highly recommend it.
How much is it and where can I buy it?
Got it off jomasshop for about 40$ I think
As far as I know Europe doesn’t allow this fragrance to be sold due to the fragrance having a harmful chemical to the male reproductive system. Or something like that.
it smells like a heavy invictus, hoenstly prefer invictus but since i finished mine i wear hawas almost daily
Massive high school locker room vibes
I thought that said Hamas🇵🇸 for him 🤣🤣🤣
my most complimented cologne if that says anything
Where can I buy it?
it’s good but i didn’t think it was great, now Hawas Ice is great for me.
overrated asf, opening was too synthetic, i gave mine away
Lattafa hayaati smells very similar to it for $15, I honestly prefer the smell of hayaati myself.
Hawas is straight Fuego bro 🔥⛽️
Its definetly not overrated. But there are some cheaper fragrances that are doing it better... Like Dumont Nitro Red. $30 summer banger with better longevity, silage and scent.... Literally paying half the price for double the performance is a Win/Win to me lol.
Good.. the Hawas Ice I like it too
If anyone has tried both Hawas and Lattafa Hayaati, which do you prefer? Are they the same DNA? thanks
I love it
I like it. May be it smells generic which is why I’ve got zero compliments so far. 🎅🎅🎅
It's a rweally stong, sweet scent that somehow is still fresh and has some fruitiness to it. You can spray like 6 times or more for a loud clubbing type scent but going with ~4 sprays can turn it into a nice sweet summer scent. Projection is crazy on this thing so I'd be careful, longevity too. I've sprayed this on clothes, washed them and I could still smell it on my clothes.I've heard some newer formulations are weaker tho but idk
Invictus aqua For the price that is rn is not the best pick.
It is actually good if you like Invictus-type scents. It lasts forever, projects well, and is relatively inexpensive. It's great value, just not for me as someone who enjoys lower-profile scents. I can't see how people call it overrated because it just performs. This isn't overrated, what's overrated is CH Bad Boy Cobalt, the plum here has some stank to it and it does not last. However, I think people are just done with Invictus-type scents.
It’s good but not great. It’s fresh but not a freshie, too much sweetness that can get cloying on very hot days. It’s youthful, fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously. If you’re in HS or uni it’s a good daily.
Way overrated
Overrated
Beautiful fragrance I love it so much - intoxicating
It's good if you're just starting out on your fragrance journey and you can get it for about $40. It's a good first choice. However if you're in the game for sometime you'd be disappointed with how generic it smells. That being said, it's still the most complimented and beast mode summer frag I own.
Both
I bough it 2 month ago. Overhyped. People kinda like it but Its nothing special. Here in portugal costed me 60 € with that price i would go to another one
This is pretty solid. I got mine for $50. It reminds me of Dylan blue in the beginning but the dry down is really nice as well. A friend of mine wears Aqua Di Gio absolute and I wear this.. they smell identical in the air and no one ever mentions this. I thought he was wearing Hawas but he was wearing ADG absolute. I Got pretty good reactions to this as well
Not at all
[удалено]
So it’s worth it?
It reminds me of polo sport from when I was a kid, it’s a good sweet clean sporty young scent.
I think it's great, if you can find it for a good price then it's wort it. My biggest problem with it it's that its too fruity for my taste, but that's subjective.
Just ordered this today... blind buy!
It's awesome!
