Rasasi
Hawas Elixir
“Le Male Elixir with a minty chill — hot chocolate after a winter night out.”
Mint and artemisia open Rasasi's 2024 Hawas Elixir, a vanilla-aromatic composition widely compared to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male Elixir (2023), with dark chocolate and lavender in the heart over a vanilla base. Vanilla leads the accords, with aromatic, green and sweet facets. Wears strongest in winter and fall, evening-leaning.
The take
What works

- ●Strong projection and sillage
- ●A cold-weather date-night workhorse
Trade-offs
- ●Missing some of the original's honeyed depth
- ●Too sweet and sticky for warm weather
