Fruity, fresh all-rounder in niche quality
Happy Man is a great everyday companion with an independent and original fragrance signature. As you can see from my other reviews, I prefer a straightforward approach to fragrance analysis. I firmly believe that it benefits the fragrance lover when the most prominent notes are clearly named rather than getting lost in complex descriptions.
Happy for Man opens fresh and fruity with a tart mandarin note accompanied by a pleasant natural mint note. This combination gives it an astonishingly high-quality and natural effect, which is surprising given the price. The fragrance is linear and only changes in intensity. Its "weakness" clearly lies in its longevity. It evaporates after a few hours and quickly becomes a fragrance that is close to the skin. Nevertheless, I now find this characteristic pleasant, as it makes it possible to top up or switch to another fragrance as required. Perhaps you don't want to be surrounded by a perfume from time to time. So the supposed "weakness" of the fragrance could even be its "strength" - as is so often the case, this is in the eye of the beholder.
Unfortunately, the quality of the bottle does not meet my expectations, and the packaging is also only partially appealing. In addition, my spray head tends to ooze a lot, which makes it difficult to use. Whether this quality problem affects all batches is questionable, however, as I have had similar experiences in this price segment, but not exclusively.
All in all, I can recommend Happy Man without reservation. With this fragrance, you get an original, fruity creation for the summer that comes across as timelessly casual and informal without being offensive and could become a pleasant companion over time.

No recommendation
I was really looking forward to the fragrance because of the many positive reviews and blindly ordered a bottle as I am already a fan of GIT. Although I wasn't expecting a 1:1 copy of the original, my expectations were high due to the praise. When I received the bottle, my excitement was high, but I was sorely disappointed at first sniff. The scent reminded me of cheap ISO-E super perfumes from Ebay, with a synthetic, dull, slightly woody smell that was remotely reminiscent of chlorine. I was confused by the positive reviews and felt the comparisons to GIT or CW were inappropriate. I generally think Armaf is solid, but this perfume was a disappointment for me.

Hubba Bubba peppermint with green apple
There are fragrances that simply put you in a good mood. Urban Man Elixir by Armaf and the 1 Million perfume are examples of this category for me. They are perfect for days when you want to take things easy. Sure, they may not be the most exquisite or high-end fragrances, but they always put an ironically mischievous smile on my lips.
Rasasi Hawas is another such candidate.
With its fresh peppermint note and a hint of chewing gum, it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but somehow it still has its charm. The synthetic fruity accords are rather subtle for me, but they give the fragrance a certain liveliness. Here, however, I perceive a note of green apple at best, which evokes slight shisha bar associations.
Hawas has allegedly undergone a few reformulations. However, the longevity of the fragrance I recently received is very solid, and the sillage and projection are almost penetrating.
The bottle looks really cool and the purple liquid adds a very unique touch.
If you look at what is available online, the fragrance no longer seems so easy to find. You immediately stumble across dubious eBay sellers who are obviously trying to make a few euros and offer it for three times the price.
Perhaps it is due to some unapproved ingredients why the fragrance is no longer being sold regularly, as it is unlikely to be due to a lack of demand due to the hype.
In this respect, you should perhaps think twice about buying it as a precaution.
There is currently still a seller on eBay who is offering the bottle for around 60 euros.
Alternatively, I would definitely go for the 1 Million perfume. It's a great fragrance that's a little more tart and dry, but offers similar scents.
Just like Hawas, this has a niche quality and is simply fun.

Little Ballermann
As an owner of decants of both Creed Aventus and BR540, I recently dared to make a direct comparison by applying both fragrances in combination and comparing them with Casino 2.0. Interestingly, I did not notice any significant differences. Perhaps the combination of the originals may seem a little more "valuable", but in terms of intensity, the Casino Exlixir 2.0. is in no way inferior.
Unfortunately, DUA still does not deliver its perfumes directly to Germany. This is apparently due to previous problems with returns. One of the main sources of supply for Germany is scentitlondon.com. Although the perfumes are often sold out here, they can be pre-ordered. There are also regular promotions where you end up indirectly "saving" about the price of the import duties and the increased shipping costs.
i paid €60.00 for 30ml here at SOUK. I think this price is still reasonable considering the quality on offer - but I really wanted the fragrance. The strength of the perfume puts the price into perspective for me. Especially when you consider that these fragrances are available at very affordable prices in the USA, I don't think it's worth buying.
The more advantageous deal is probably to buy the Untold and Intense Man Limited Edition from Armaf and combine the two fragrances. In this way, you end up with 210 ml for around €100.00 and have the option of wearing both fragrances separately or experimenting with different mixing ratios. Your personal pleasure may vary, but that is up to you.
The presentation and bottle are subterranean - simply tasteless. I can't help but think of people with Monster Energy caps.
So if you are looking for an intense fragrance that is loud, has enough power for many hours and delivers the promised DNA, Casino Exlixir 2.0. is the best choice.
In view of the supply algae and the resulting high price, however, I would advise against a purchase, as there are cheaper and more exciting ways to produce this "olfactory experience".

Synthetic lemon
I find the intense lemon note of this fragrance exhausting, and this effect is unfortunately only partially mitigated by a certain florality. Unfortunately, this reminds me too much of the character of sherbet powder. Despite two wash-off attempts, it retains its intensity, which indicates considerable longevity. For lovers of synthetic citrus notes who want to spend little, this fragrance may well be appealing. Personally, however, I would refrain from recommending it. Lanvin l'homme is similarly affordable and is simply the better fragrance.
