When you read through the notes, you might not immediately realize that it is a clone of a well-known fragrance.
But to make it short, it is a dupe for Hawas for Him. Of course, it is also similar to "Invictus Aqua (2018) | Paco Rabanne", but what I smell is extremely close to my 2018 batch of Hawas. That surprised me quite a bit. Of course, it’s not 1:1, but still, for a small amount of money, it's quite remarkable.
Citrus notes, melon with a decent bubblegum vibe, just like in Hawas. The opening is quite similar. In the drydown, you can notice small differences if you get your nose close, but they are really not significant.
Just like Hawas, it’s a very nice summer fragrance, not quite as high-quality as the Rasasi, but at a price of just over €20, that’s perfectly fine.
Of course, the DNA is getting a bit worn out, but Hawas still has its fans (I count myself among them). And for those who don’t have this DNA in their collection yet and don’t want to pay much for Hawas, this is a good option.
Of course, the Hawas performs significantly better; it’s a beast, and few fragrances can keep up in the summer. The MD offers at most mediocre performance. That’s probably the only drawback. But for the small amount of money, you can afford to overspray, and it will probably perform better then.
Fresh, sweet, fruity, bubblegum-like (not sure if that's a term), youthful, happy, a bit playful. All of this would perfectly describe this fragrance. A "hidden gem" that you should have on your radar.
