A very potent clone, Hawas has absolutely nuclear performance. In the opening I get an explosion of plum, citrus, and some aquatic notes. Also some light spices in the dry down paired with some musky. The fruity plum and citruses are really the heart of the the fragrance. The only gripe I have with this fragrance is the synthetic opening, but that’s what I would expect from a 45 dollar cologne. The performance on this is among the best of any fragrance, not just clones. 3 sprays is more than enough for compliments, and lasts 12+ hours, and lasta for days on clothes. It’s so powerful I wouldn’t recommend for use in a hot summer, especially inside. I would say it’s best for use in the winter or fall to stand above all the tobacco, amber, and spice with the smell of a ripe plum. I am also a fan of the bottle, the heavy cap with the serpentine detailing gives it a really premium feel. I don’t wear it very often despite the performance because I’m worried it’ll be too strong. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cheap powerhouse.
