Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.

Heavier molecules that evaporate slowly, like woods, musk, amber and oud. They are there from the start, and they are what remains once the rest has faded.

Product Details
TL;DR
- Woody citrus with a mossy base, bergamot and pineapple opening
- Longevity: ~7-12 hrs (long lasting)
- Sillage: strong
- Similar to: Hacivat by Nishane
- Best for: day to night and all year
Bergamot, pineapple and grapefruit open Hawas Black, before patchouli, cedarwood and jasmine form the heart and oakmoss, woody notes and amber settle into the base. It sits in the aromatic fruity family, with warm woods and bright citrus in front and a damp, mossy undertone behind.
How Does It Develop Through the Day?
The opening is bright and juicy. The bergamot, pineapple and grapefruit give sharp citrus with a ripe fruit edge, and it is at its loudest in the first half hour or so. From there the patchouli and cedarwood come through, giving the heart an earthy, dry woodiness, with jasmine adding a faint floral note. The base is where it spends most of its life: oakmoss brings a green, slightly bitter forest-floor smell, the woody notes keep it dry, and amber adds a little warmth as the afternoon turns to evening.
What Is It Similar To?
Hawas Black is frequently compared to Hacivat by Nishane. It shares its accords and its arc, opening on fruit and citrus before settling into a woody, mossy base. The structure is similar rather than the same fragrance, so if Hacivat's shape appeals to you, this is worth trying. If you'd rather stay with something FG carries, Supremacy Not Only Intense by Afnan sits in the same fruity-woody territory and is in stock, and Valor Chivalry by Khadlaj is also in stock.
Where Can I Buy It in South Africa?

Who It's For

Anyone who likes a citrus-led woody scent with a damp, green edge will find Hawas Black an easy fit for the office or a night out, in any season.
