Rasasi
Hawas Black
“The goth cousin in the Aventus family — pineapple and grapefruit dragged onto a dark, mossy forest floor. Loud and unapologetic.”
Frequently compared to Nishane Hacivat (2017), Rasasi's 2024 Hawas Black pairs pineapple and grapefruit with patchouli over an oakmoss base. A woody-chypre entry in the Hawas line, which began with the original Hawas in 2015, its pineapple-and-oakmoss structure places it in the fruity-chypre category. Woody and citrus accords lead, with mossy, earthy depth. Versatile across seasons and day-to-night.
