Hawas for Him

Grab this one when you can't decide: sharp apple and lemon first, a sweet watery plum-and-orange-blossom heart, then a salty ambergris-driftwood base.

It moves fast: apple, lemon and bergamot with a pinch of cinnamon giving it some warmth right out of the gate. The heart turns sweet and aquatic, plum and orange blossom over watery notes and cardamom, the part that makes it feel like summer. Underneath is a salty base of ambergris, driftwood and musk with a touch of patchouli, drier than the top would suggest. Projection is strong for the first three or four hours and it holds all day after that. It's a warm-weather fragrance first, but it wears fine year-round.
