Apple, lemon and star anise over driftwood and moss
Hawas Ice comes from Rasasi as an Eau de Parfum, and FragranceGems lists it for men. The recorded notes are apple, Italian lemon, Sicilian bergamot and star anise at the top, plum, orange blossom and cardamom in the heart, and musk, amber, driftwood and moss in the base. Star anise inside a cool citrus opening is a distinctive touch worth sniffing on skin.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The opening gathers apple, Italian lemon, Sicilian bergamot and star anise. The fruit and citrus form a crisp, bright start, while star anise adds a cool, licorice-like depth. Spray the decant once and notice how the anise changes the citrus on your skin in the first minutes.
In the heart the record lists plum, orange blossom and cardamom. Plum brings a soft, velvety sweetness, orange blossom a light floral note and cardamom a gentle spice. This is the stage where the scent turns from icy to rounder, so give it some time.
The base is musk, amber, driftwood and moss. Driftwood and moss give a salty, woody, slightly damp finish, musk keeps it soft and amber adds warmth. Smell your wrist late in the day and see if the base feels clean and marine or too dry for you.
Testing it
Hawas Ice carries the summer tag at FragranceGems, plus daily use, evenings and sport, so try it in warm weather. Use one or two sprays on a normal day, perhaps a workout, and again in the evening. Smell it at different moments to catch the change from icy to woody.
Written for men, as FragranceGems lists it, who like fresh, aquatic and citrus perfumes with a strong presence for hot days. Anyone who finds star anise unusual in a fresh perfume can use the decant to see whether the licorice touch charms or bothers them.
Fresh summer perfumes often seem alike on paper, and the small differences, such as star anise here, only show on skin. A decant of Hawas Ice, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us, lets you notice them before you pick a 100 ml bottle. FragranceGems carries the full bottle as well.

Perfume that FragranceGems takes from the original bottle and puts into a 10 ml glass spray vial with our own label. This is not an official brand sample: Rasasi did not fill it, and the label is ours.
It is listed in the top notes next to apple, Italian lemon and Sicilian bergamot. Star anise has a cool, sweet, licorice-like character, so it gives the citrus a distinctive edge. How clearly you notice it is individual.
FragranceGems tags sport among its occasions, and the citrus-aquatic profile fits. Whether it feels right when you are active is easy to test with a decant.
The brand
Rasasi is a perfume house from Dubai whose own site sorts its work into two lines, Oriental and Occidental. FragranceGems describes it as one of the city's most renowned houses and carries the Hawas series as samples: eleven Eau de Parfum that share a name and a fresh, masculine idea but differ in temperature, from the icy Hawas Ice to the amber-heavy Hawas Highness. A sample set is the only sensible way to tell the Hawas versions apart.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
