Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Rasasi Hawas Black is a men's Eau de Parfum released in 2024 by the Rasasi perfume house.
Founded in Dubai in 1979, the brand combines an expressive Eastern heritage with the contemporary language of global perfumery, and this release continues its focus on rich, distinctive compositions.
The fragrance was created for those who appreciate a confident presence, a dense trail and a striking aura.
Olfactively, Rasasi Hawas Black belongs to the amber and aromatic fragrance families.
It combines juicy fruity-citrus freshness, dry woods and a deep mossy-amber base.
Thanks to this construction, the composition comes across not as a light everyday cologne, but as a more polished and expressive perfume with character.
Rasasi Hawas Black opens brightly and energetically: citrus facets of bergamot and grapefruit are supported by a juicy pineapple accord.
Bergamot adds sparkle to the composition, while the fruity facet makes the opening minutes more lively and appealing.
This opening feels modern and is easy to notice from a distance, immediately creating an impression of grooming and confidence.
As it develops, the fresh impulse becomes calmer, giving way to cedar, patchouli and jasmine.
The woody notes lend structure and dry elegance to the fragrance, patchouli adds depth, while the white-floral nuance softens the heart's severity.
As a result, Rasasi Hawas Black retains its masculine character without seeming rough or monotonous.
The finish is built around amber, oakmoss and a woody accord.
The base smells warm, full-bodied and noticeable, leaving behind a rich trail with dark earthy and slightly sweet nuances.
It is this part that gives the fragrance its lasting, polished and expressive character, which continues to evolve on the skin throughout the day.
Rasasi Hawas Black is described as having a very powerful sillage, so it is worth choosing when you want to make an impression and avoid fading into the background.
It is a good choice for evenings, cool weather, business meetings or special occasions where deep amber-woody accents are appropriate.
The fragrance can also smell beautiful in warm weather, but its intensity is especially important to consider indoors.
The exact number of sprays for skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
When trying Rasasi Hawas Black, it is sensible to start with a small number of sprays and assess how its longevity and sillage develop on your own skin.
On fabric, the fragrance usually lasts longer, so apply it sparingly to clothing and spray it on pulse points when applying it to the skin.
Rasasi Hawas Black will appeal to men who enjoy fruity-citrus openings, an expressive woody heart and a powerful amber base.
Its main strength is the contrast between the bright freshness of the opening notes and the darker, mossy finish.
If you would like to continue exploring rich Oriental perfumery, take a look at The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, The Spirit of Dubai Abraj and Nabeel Hayati: these fragrances may appeal to fans of distinctive, luxuriously resonant compositions.
