Hawas Ice
A cooler, more aquatic flanker to Rasasi's popular Hawas. Crisp marine notes and citrus over an ambery musk base deliver a fresh, blue-fragrance profile with notable longevity for the price.
Hawas Ice opens on Sea Notes and Bergamot, moves through Cardamom and Geranium, and dries down to Ambergris and Musk. At $28 - $45 it is which makes it an easy budget pick, with long lasting (8h - 10h) on skin. A relatively safe blind buy for most wardrobes.

EXPERT ANALYSIS — COMPOSITION & PERFORMANCE
Hawas Ice by Rasasi is a bright citrus-leaning eau de parfum released in 2021, composed by Undisclosed. This is our research team's structured analysis of how it is built, how it performs, and who it suits — based on its composition, community-aggregated performance data, and the AdeGbe scoring model.
The Opening
From the first spray, Sea Notes, Bergamot, Apple establish a bright citrus and clean aquatic character that defines the top of the composition.
The Heart
The middle phase is warm spice and aromatic herb: Cardamom, Geranium, Cinnamon carry the core of the scent through its most expressive hours.
The Dry-Down
Hours later it resolves into a dry woods and golden amber foundation — Ambergris, Musk, Cedar — that determines the lasting memory of the scent.
Who Should Buy Hawas Ice
Hawas Ice leans masculine but is wearable by anyone who enjoys the style. Its season vector points strongest to summer, and its day/night balance makes it best suited to daytime and office wear. If you gravitate toward bright citrus and clean aquatic compositions and want strong longevity, it belongs on your shortlist.
No major red flags in the composition, but fragrance is personal — skin chemistry can shift the balance of notes, so a sample wear is always wiser than a blind purchase at this price.
