Hawas Malibu

EDP2025

“Le Beau gone bright and fruity — pineapple and orange over a smooth powdery finish, a playful modern summer sweet.”

Hawas Malibu

amber
citrus

A 2025 entry in Rasasi's Hawas line, which began in 2015, widely compared to Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau Le Parfum (2022): pineapple opens onto orris and lavender, over a tonka base. Sweet accords lead, with amber, citrus and fruity facets. The pineapple and orris give a sweet, powdery fruitiness. A summer and spring daytime scent.
