Hawas Ice by Shamim 12ml

Hawas Ice transitions from a biting, frosty opening into a smooth, fruity-floral heart, eventually resting on a very clean, masculine woody base:

• Top Notes (The Opening): Frozen Apple, Italian Lemon, Sicilian Bergamot, and Star Anise. The opening is an immediate blast of crisp, mouth-watering fruit. The addition of star anise introduces a unique, almost minty or icy cooling sensation that directly combats summer heat, creating the "Ice" effect the name promises.

• Heart Notes (The Mid): Plum, Orange Blossom, and Cardamom. As the sharp citrus settles, the signature Hawas plum note emerges. However, unlike the syrupy, candied plum of the original, this plum is airy and watery. The orange blossom adds a clean, soapy floral touch, while cardamom provides a gentle spicy warmth.

• Base Notes (The Drydown): Crystal Moss, Musk, Driftwood, and Amber. The drydown completely drops the youthful sweetness of the opening, revealing a mature, highly textured finish. The crystal moss and driftwood create a damp, earthy, oceanic vibe, smoothed out by a rich, long-lasting musk.

• Longevity: Excellent (8–10+ hours). Fresh fragrances typically struggle with longevity, but Hawas Ice is an Eau de Parfum that performs like a much heavier scent. It will easily last a full workday on skin and remains detectable on clothes the following day.

• Sillage & Projection: Strong. For the first 2 hours, it projects a vibrant, cooling scent bubble 3 to 4 feet out. It leaves a very clean, shower-fresh scent trail before dialing back into a persistent, musky skin scent.

• Seasonality: Spring & Summer. This fragrance is purpose-built for high heat and humidity. The icy opening and aquatic mid notes thrive when the weather is warm, though the mossy base gives it enough depth to work on early autumn days.

• Occasion: Extremely versatile daytime wear. It works perfectly for the gym, the office, casual daytime outings, or beach vacations. It is clean and inoffensive but strong enough to be noticed.

• Gender Profile: Masculine. The heavy moss, driftwood, and aquatic nature of the drydown lean into a traditionally masculine "shower gel" aesthetic.
