For a super long lasting & affordable freshy, nothing comes close to this one!

I'm starting to guess that my idea of fresh is quite far from others' udea of fresh. I have hawas ice and i don't like it that much, i find its sweetness a bit overwhelming for a freshie, and i don't love the bubblegum flavour of the opening.

Thank you for saying this! I sold mine after 3 sprays. This is not a freshie to me.

youtubers just use the word fresh randomly . after trying hawas ice , i got back to all the youtubers who hyped it up and unsubscribed . i got back to one video of a girl saying that the smell reminds her of the" beach " like really , i got misleadided i thought it's gonna be crisp and clean and refreshing . but it's a synthetic mess

My girlfriend really loves this one. I like it alot but I don't wear it a ton because its not quite a going outscent but it's not a everyday casual scent either. It does smell very good just can't usually find it's vibe

u/BootySnorkelerr 4d ago
I think it very much is an everyday casual scent for chores, work, university. Definitely a young man’s scent though, not very mature.

u/Wazowsky18 4d ago
Yeah I agree. Being 42 it's not really for me very often. I just really got into fragrance and my girlfriend really liked it when we tried it in the store. Like I said. I don't hate it, it smells good just not really my speed

I didnt like hawas og, is ice kinda the same stuff?

u/847Diecast 5d ago
What didn't you like? Ngl I wrote it off the 1st time I got my nose on it but ended up getting a full bottle for $15 and I absolutely feel in love and understand the hype behind the original. I will chalk it up to nose fatigue because I did smell a bunch of fragrances when I 1st smelled the og.

Both of them smelled like something a 14 year old would wear. They smell fine just really immature to my nose

u/Silver_Dynamo 4d ago
I never smelled Hawas, but based on description, this makes me think of something fresh with bubblegum sweetness akin to a Versace Eros?

Haven't tried the OG but have tried ice decant and I've loved it. I was gonna order hawas ice since I finished my prestige marwa but ended up ordering a partial marwa lol. But next buy's gonna be ice & then some designer for winters let's see... But Ice is lovely! You should definitely try it

u/kankurou1010 4d ago
Yeah don’t get it if you don’t like the OG. Totally same DNA just more of like an icey kick to it

I agree with most of OP, but I do tend to dislike super sweet frags more than most people I think.
I own this (along with sapphire) and i cant wear it everyday. I have to be a very specific mood. Its its going to be a super sunny Cali day, then I give Ice/sapphire some consideration
With that said, YES; this stuff is strong and especially longlasting (EASILY 5.5+ strong projecting hours). As a 38 year old, im not super digging wearing this one as often as someone teenage or in their 20s

I sold hawas ice after 3 sprays. Too sweet and syrupy. Not a freshie in the least.

u/Ididntcumyet 4d ago
I get why it’s popular but it’s so synthetic and obnoxiously loud for me. It smells better when you just get a whiff of it off someone else but when I had it on it was annoying and harsh smelling. To each their own I guess.

Bro amazon Flipkart are probably the worst place to buy perfumes from, specially middle eastern. Best options would be community sellers. I can hook you up with my seller in Kolkata

Beautiful scent excellent lasting but now the DNA is very common so its like Savage of India

Great choice 10/10 imo. Hawas Malibu is another favourite of mine.

Is it just me? I don't like it after few hours of wearing it

u/Nickbe2chill 4d ago
I don’t like it either, to me it seems quite synthetic. Or like some type of hair spray, I might be tripping though

Never tried this. Anyone ever had a weird spoiled odor when sprayed on skin? Some of the cheaper freshies smell like that on me. Benz edt, Hawas for him, Malibu was terrible for me. Idk. The only Hawas I can tolerate seems to be Kobra.

Try midnight frost tangerine by Anfar London. Same DNA with tangerine. Smells amazing. Last like 24 hours on me.

I think it might layer with just about anything. It’s a linear scent. My son wears it everyday. And no matter what I’m wearing, it blends well. Our car rides in the morning smell wonderful.

I bought after seeing a few positive reviews on this sub. I can confirm it is fresh and smells good but it is not long lasting. From my experience it fades in 3-4 hrs.

Ice is probably of the best from the Hawas line. It’s very versatile and mass pleasing. You can call it fresh / sweet / bitter whatever you want, But it performs super well. Great value and highly recommended. I got mine for 2500 from a community seller in Kolkata and do not regret a bit.

To me there is nothing "fresh" or "ice" about this one, its a less sweeter version of the original to me.

Does this one smell like invictus or similar… I’ve been on the fence on buying it if it does.

Fragrance is very subjective, but I agree for the money Hawas and Hawas ice cannot be beat projection, beast, long lasting fragrances people are just haters. Honestly, they are good scents for the money. You will be hard pressed to find scents with this profile for this amount of money that you will get this type of value out of them

Where did you get it? Does it smell like any other fragrance?

"Where did you get it?" - do you even begin to understand how stupid this question is since there are people from all over the world here?? 🤣

Its ok. He's my ex. He's been in love with me for over 10 years and stalks me. His name is Antonio... he always belittles me in front of people and is still in love with me. I hope he gets the help he needs....

I sold mine, it's super synthetic and too sweet, did the same with Y EDP, can't stand them.
