Rasasi Hawas Black is an elegant flanker in the line that changes things up by adding major woody and oakmoss notes to the Hawas DNA. The result is a pretty good hybrid fragrance with woody, fougere, fruit and citrus notes. The sweet stonefruit in Hawas and Hawas ice is replaced by fresh pineapple, the herbals get some added classic oakmoss, and a strong wood note is added. You'll definitely notice similarities to Creed Aventus and Armaf Club de Nuit Intense if you already own those, but they are different. Hawas Black smooths out the wood and tones down the smokiness to allow some light amber notes to shine through. It'll be up to your individual taste to determine if they are different enough.
This is great for warm weather and outdoor activities. It's unisex though some women might find it leaning a bit more masculine. Performance is good and quality is high. Note that this doesn't perform as strongly as Hawas or Hawas Ice, but to be fair those two are nuclear in that regard. This is a great modern fougere. Highly recommended.
