Our Verdict

Hawas by Rasasi and Najdia by Lattafa both offer a fresh, citrus-aquatic experience but cater to different audiences. Hawas is a masculine, mid-tier fragrance that stands out with its bold, fruity notes of apple and citrus, making it ideal for warm weather and casual settings. It leaves a memorable trail and is perfect for those seeking a vibrant and energetic scent. On the other hand, Najdia is a budget-friendly, unisex option that mimics the Invictus style but may require frequent reapplication due to its debated longevity. It appeals to those looking for an affordable, invigorating fragrance that garners compliments without breaking the bank. Choose based on your preference for longevity and budget.

Which Should You Buy?

Choose Najdia if...
  • Prefer a masculine scent.
  • Want a mid-tier fragrance.
  • Value bold, fruity notes.
Choose Hawas if...
  • On a tight budget.
  • Seek a unisex fragrance.
  • Prefer an Invictus-style freshie.
Our Verdict - Najdia EDP
Look, it's cheap as chips and pulls compliments, but there's a serious debate about its performance and whether it's more 'invigorating' or 'headache-inducing'. If you're after a budget-friendly Invictus-style freshie and don't mind over-spraying, give it a go. Otherwise, save your cash.
Favourite

Season and Occasion Fit

Najdia

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, aquatic, and sweet profile makes it a fantastic fit for casual and sport settings, often noted as a 'gym scent' by reviewers. However, its often described strong projection and synthetic qualities mean it's less suited for formal or office environments where subtlety is key.

Hawas

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Hawas excels in spring and summer thanks to its vibrant aquatic and fruity-citrus character, offering invigorating freshness in warmer weather. Its moderate amber and musk base makes it wearable in early fall, but it may lack depth for the coldest winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

The energetic fruity-aquatic blend suits casual and date settings, projecting a fun, inviting vibe. Its pronounced projection makes it a bit much for formal or sport, but it can work in the office if applied lightly.
