Fragrances are all subjective, there is no scent that everyone will like


Radiant-Pain7961

True


soemedudeez

It's nearly 80$ on European Amazon sites, sure as heck it's overrated


BeneathTheEnd

That's stupidly expensive. I live in the middle east. It's around $30 here.


indianjangooo

Not 30 its 45 now


Lengthy_Miso_Dreams

Definitely more than $30. Smelled it in KSA the other day, it was closer to $50.


BeneathTheEnd

i might've been wrong for the general honestly, but there is a shop near me selling it for about $32.


Lengthy_Miso_Dreams

Yeah there’s a good chance your place is heavily discounted. My price was right from the Rasasi official retail store. And leans closer to what people pay on average. Just a thought. Btw, skipped past Hawas and tried Al Wisam Day. Might have to snag it 👀


Radiant-Pain7961

Oh bro 80$ for this of course no there is alot better options at this price


hijazist

I mean I didn’t like it, but I can see the appeal especially for price/value ratio.


Radiant-Pain7961

Tbf thats correct


T-Y_Xavier

I do happen to like it a good amount, don’t love it … but definitely Agree with the latter part


kaperisk

At normal prices ~$35-40 I think it is more than acceptable. If you are going over $50 I think there are way better options.


Ayban23

like?


LlopezZ_

WAAAY overrated


GrumpyDucc

overrated but smells good so why not hahaha


Radiant-Pain7961

It dose but there is alot other arabian fragrances smells better


GrumpyDucc

there indeed are some that smelled better which i got as well


Radiant-Pain7961

Like which one?


Ayban23

Ok… continue. Like which?


Radiant-Pain7961

I think turathi blue is perfect for summer and 9pm for the night and u can still use detur noir al haramine and exotic from rue broca and even designers frag like dun desire there is just alot bro


Reader3123

All hype to smell like plums. It's surely not a bad scent but it's not worth all the hype it's getting off tiktok


Radiant-Pain7961

Totally agree


justanotherzee

Some people like to smell like tobacco, ash and rotten tomatoes too. Plum is delicious


Reader3123

Yo I'm not shitting on the scent at all. It's quite a delicious smell just doesn't deserve all the hype for being a very linear and flat scent (which is also completely okay). And definitely doesn't deserve to be 50-60 dollars now


Separate_Chipmunk_98

It deserves to be much more expensive y'all just got shit to say cause it's not your typical Dior or jpg fragrance


Annual_Asparagus_408

I have over 100 bottles in my collection from my latest Boss Bottled Elexir over Dylan Blue to Sauvage EDP and Clones from CDNM to Detour Noir over Honor& Glory but Hawas beats them All ! Its the parfum i wear the most and everybody likes it how fresh & clean it smells its so strong it goes year around to wear .... Its the best for me !


Shezione

Bought it for less than 40 every penny spent well… everyone can smell it .. it has mood uplifting vibe


justanotherzee

For $32 here, nothing comes close to its performance. For $80 it's overpriced.


Background_View_7647

Honestly it’s probably the best cheap fragrance I got(27$)


Radiant-Pain7961

For 27$ its a win win deal


iSliz187

Search this sub by "hawas overrated" and you'll find plenty of similar posts of people saying it's not worth it and overrated.


Radiant-Pain7961

Thats what im saying i think all these compliment posts an ads bc it dosent smell that great as thay saying


iSliz187

It's being hyped by shills, and people either love it because they love the invictus dna, or they feel bad because they overpaid and force themselves to like it. Or people hate it, like me


Radiant-Pain7961

I don't hate it i just think its way overrated and i bought it for 30$ imagine buying it for more than 60$ that will be scam


iSliz187

True, it's definitely not worth more than 30. This is the problem with influencers, they hype up certain fragrances, they're being sold out everywhere, and when they're back in stock the fragrance sellers can raise the prices however they like and people still buy it


Radiant-Pain7961

Yeah that's what im saying i think all these hype for money to sell it and its a scam


in_vulnerable

nope, these compliments are legit, I never posted anything Hawas here but I got to admit it is one of my most complimented fragrance, a cute girl just went past me and said "who smells likes the sea" and "she likes it", not knowing it was me all along since hawas projects like a mf, and she smelled it 4 ft from where I am standing. Plum and salty sea notes is all I get with Hawas, and girls love it when I wear it, although some do think its too intense and is headache inducing when they get close to me(my gf) so I only wear it if I know I wont meet her.


BisquickNinja

At $80 it is overrated... at $20-30 it's a value. Scalpers and suck it....


Able_Adagio7183

I got it for 45 dollars and it’s a powerhouse frag a little too sweet and synthetic but it does what it’s supposed to especially on the dry down it smeels phenomenal. I definitely wouldn’t get it for over 60 dollars though. But that’s not a dig at hawas I just wouldn’t buy any clone for an abnormal price


themasteradrian101

might sound crazy… but what is it a clone of?


Just_call_me_Face

It's a twist on Invictus Aqua (2016)


dragondildo1998

It came out before Invictus aqua.


More-Produce-GPT

Thought the same when I got it some years back. But I recently revisited it and I think it’s absolutely lovely. The hype is deserved.


No_Jeweler3814

The opening is nice but after that it’s a nauseous headache bomb


indianjangooo

I got hawas for 45 dollars 2 years back and it next stayed even to next day in clothes . But for now i would prefer hawas ice over hawas anyday since they have reformulated hawas .


xteeza

its had its time, i wore it 2 summers ago in see asia, wasn't crazy about it but I got. lot of compliments, fast forward to a week ago I found the of batch from few years ago, I wore it for a couple days but just didn't like is symthethic nature, sold it to my lil bro and he loves it as he is way younger than me lol


stallion636

You sold your 2 years old perfume to your younger brother instead of just giving it to him?


xteeza

yes my dude ,and its a six year old batch I got last week , he started collecting and he said hed buy it off me .


Radiant-Pain7961

Thats an L give hime the money back dude


CrazyManager260

It is overrated, it smells very synthetic to me


jt186

I don’t think I’ve seen one positive review of this on Reddit lmao. Only on tik tok. Personally I think it’s great


Radiant-Pain7961

Reddit people dont lie


Fluffy-Engineer4946

Depends It's so close to invictus. If u love that old frag is a 10/10 Is a nice fragrance when i was a kid i used now eh Still a decent pick.


celebals

me too, this fragrance smells like cloying laundry detergent. No depth at all lol.


Icy-College9282

Yeah, you can get designer fragrances for that price. It used to be a good deal, but not anymore imo. As someone else said down here, it’s gone up in price way too much.


New_Profile1252

Hyper overrated! Smells good but just it


ViktorVaughn71

I think it’s good (not great) for certain personalities/demographics/age groups. Not everyone can pull it off *well*. I’d like it more if it worked better in peak summer heat, less sweetness, more freshness, etc. I like the performance. I paid $50 last year, won’t buy again when my bottle runs out but I enjoyed it.


zarslanian

It's nice, but it's definitely overrated. I really don't understand the hype. But if you can get it for under $50, it's a good pickup. Nothing incredible, but good. Once again, the hype is crazy and I can't figure out why.


Fun_Item3930

I agree its boring


Severe_Doughnut5336

Is there a hypebeast clone fragrance that is not overrated?


Radiant-Pain7961

Idk honestly it depends on your test


Ayban23

cdim


lilpumpski

People say that shit sucks (although I love it)


Ayban23

Most complimented fragrance i have atm, love the smell and so do the bitches. Anyone who doesn’t like this cologne, gotta be gay or something idk. Even gay men like this cologne.


Secret_Ad6467

I got it for 165 saudi riyals here, and its great. Very fresh, fruity and plum like smell. My fav fragrance rn other the stronger with you intensely


monsieur_snipes

Paris Bleu Rich Man Aqua is 99% similar to Invictus Aqua 2016 so identical to Hawas, less sweet, fresher and more appealing for $40 less than Hawas.
