Rasasi Hawas for Him Black

Hawas Black is Rasasi's latest addition to the Hawas lineup, launched in 2024 as an Aromatic Fruity fragrance for men. No perfumer credit has been attributed, following Rasasi's typical practice with the line. This release takes inspiration from the luxurious DNA of Creed Aventus and Nishane Hacivat, offering an accessible entry into the pineapple-oakmoss chypre style that has dominated niche conversations for the past decade.

The opening bursts with highly playful pineapple, bright bergamot, and bitter grapefruit that balances the sweetness and creates a harmonious, energetic introduction. As the heart deepens, pineapple lingers while citrus recedes to allow room for smooth jasmine, masculine green patchouli, and refined cedarwood. The dry-down showcases oakmoss—the true anchor of the fragrance—bringing masculine allure and sensuality.

Performance is phenomenal: it lasts over 10 hours on skin and projects like a beast for the first four hours, especially in warmer weather. Projection and longevity are above-average, making this one of the stronger performers in the Hawas collection at a fraction of the cost of the fragrances it references.

Community comparisons land most frequently on Nishane Hacivat and Creed Aventus—reviewers report Hawas Black is 90% similar to Hacivat, while wearers report being asked if they're wearing Nishane Hacivat, a fragrance that costs considerably more. If you've been curious about the pineapple-oakmoss chypre trend but want to sample before committing to niche pricing, Hawas Black delivers exceptional value and performance that punches well above its price point.
