Inspiration: Nishane - Hacivat
Couldn't load pickup availability
Hawas Black by Rasasi is commonly compared with Hacivat by Nishane for its pineapple-citrus opening over patchouli, cedar and oakmoss. Rasasi feels more direct and fruit-forward, though the ambered base is smoother and less intricate than Hacivat's refined chypre structure. It delivers a similar sharp pineapple-and-moss energy without needing to be treated as a one-to-one clone.
Top: bergamot, pineapple, grapefruit
Middle: patchouli, cedarwood, jasmine
Base: oakmoss, woody notes, amber
Pineapple and grapefruit open tart and bright over bergamot, almost sparkling against the darker woods underneath. Patchouli and cedar take over quickly, then oakmoss and amber dry the scent down into something greener, firmer and more mature.
Hawas Black starts crisp and assertive with pineapple, bergamot and grapefruit, then the fruit gives way to patchouli and cedar. Oakmoss and amber support roughly 8-10 hours of wear, with the later stages drier and more mossy than the bright opening.
Spring, fall and milder summer days suit Hawas Black, especially work, travel, dinners and smart-casual outings from daytime into evening. It leans masculine through the oakmoss, cedar and sharp citrus, though the pineapple keeps the profile lively rather than stern.
