Which Should You Buy?
Rasasi Hawas Thunder is a divisive one, some hailing it as a fantastic summer freshie that punches above its weight, others finding it mid and overpriced. If you're looking for an alternative to YSL Myslf L'Absolu, it's worth a sniff, but don't expect a perfect dupe.
Amber Poivre is a spicy and warm fragrance, perfect for those who seek a balanced yet intriguing scent experience.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
This is a versatile freshie, great for everyday wear due to its moderate projection and clean accords. While some reviews mention it's smoother than other Hawas flankers, implying good office manners, its shower gel freshness and mass appeal make it perfect for casual outings and even light sports. It lacks the gravitas for formal events.
Seasons
Amber Poivre's warm spicy accord makes it particularly suitable for cooler seasons like fall and winter, while its fresh spicy notes can also provide balance in the spring.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and intense spicy profile make Amber Poivre ideal for date nights or formal events, though it remains suitable for casual settings. Best avoided for sports due to its heavier nature.
