Rasasi Hawas vs Hawas Ice: Which One Should You Buy? (2026)
Short answer: choose Rasasi Hawas For Him if you want a warmer, spicier fresh scent with cinnamon and ambergris, and choose Hawas Ice if you want the crisper, cleaner version with star anise, amber and moss that feels cooler on hot days. Both are 100ml Eau de Parfum from Rasasi, both sit in the fresh aquatic family, and both cost $52.99 at AlSunnah Corner, so either bottle ships free in the US.

What Hawas For Him smells like
The original Hawas opens with juicy apple and citrus, and the cinnamon shows up right away, which is what separates it from most blue fragrances. The heart is watery and fruity with plum and cardamom, and the drydown settles into ambergris, musk and driftwood. It reads fresh but never thin, which is why it became one of the best known Middle Eastern men's scents in the US.

What Hawas Ice smells like
Hawas Ice keeps the apple, plum and cardamom DNA but swaps the cinnamon for star anise and moves the base toward amber and moss. The result is crisper and a little greener, with a cooler opening. If the original feels too sweet or too warm for you in July, Ice is the one to try.

How to wear Hawas so it lasts
Spray on pulse points and on clothing, where fresh scents last longest. Two to four sprays is plenty for the office; go to five or six for evenings outdoors. Moisturised skin holds any fragrance longer, so apply after a shower. For more tips, read our guide on how to make perfume last longer.
Is it authentic?
Every bottle we sell is authentic Rasasi, brand new and sealed, and ships from our store in Pennsylvania. You can see both side by side in our Rasasi Hawas collection, or browse more men's perfume sprays.
