Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.

Hawas Fire opens with clary sage over a marine accord and Egyptian jasmine, settling into amber, mineral notes and ambergris. Sixty-four percent of voters call its longevity long lasting, and 60% describe sillage as strong, making it a fragrance built to project rather than sit close to skin.
Hawas Fire opens with clary sage, an aromatic, slightly herbal top note that sets a sharp, fresh tone from the first spray. The heart moves into a marine accord paired with Egyptian jasmine, bringing a cool, watery freshness alongside a touch of white floral warmth. The base is where the fragrance turns weightier: amber, mineral notes and ambergris combine into a warm, slightly salty, long-lasting foundation. Together, the composition reads as an aromatic marine fragrance that starts fresh and herbal, moves through a cool floral-marine heart, and finishes on a warm, mineral amber base with real depth and staying power.
The clary sage opening is sharp and aromatic on first application, fading within the opening stretch into the marine and jasmine heart. That middle phase is cooler and slightly floral, with the marine accord giving a watery freshness that Egyptian jasmine softens without sweetening it. As the fragrance settles further, amber and ambergris begin to take over, building a warm, slightly salty base that mineral notes keep from turning heavy or syrupy. By the later hours, the marine freshness has mostly given way to this amber-mineral base, which is where Hawas Fire spends most of its wear, holding its shape rather than fading out.
On the Fragrantica community vote, 64% of respondents rate longevity as long lasting, with a further 12% calling it eternal, a clear majority pointing to strong staying power. Sillage tells a similar story: 60% describe it as strong and a further 10% as enormous, against votes from over a thousand respondents on each axis. Together, these figures point to a fragrance that projects noticeably and holds up well over a full day of wear, rather than one that stays close to skin.
Seasonal votes are fairly even across the year, with spring, autumn and winter each taking around a quarter of the vote and summer close behind at 22%. That spread suggests Hawas Fire is not tied to a single season, though the near-even split across winter, spring and autumn suggests it reads slightly cooler and less suited to peak summer heat than some marine fragrances.
Hawas Fire is positioned as a unisex fragrance. The community gender vote leans toward masculine, with 47% voting male and 37% male-leaning, though it is marketed without a strict gender line, and the marine-amber character it is built on wears comfortably across genders rather than reading as exclusively masculine.
Hawas Fire shares its accord structure with Imperial Valley by Gissah, both built around a marine-amber shape rather than a strictly gourmand or floral one. The comparison is about the shape of the composition, clary sage and mineral notes resting on an amber base, rather than an exact match note for note against the Gissah original.
Hawas Fire suits anyone who wants a fragrance built to project, with strong sillage and long-lasting wear confirmed by community voting. Its aromatic marine opening and warm amber-mineral base make it a fit for daily wear across most seasons, with enough presence to carry through a full day without needing reapplication.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
