Hawas Ice Freeze From Rasasi: A Citrus Opening With a Cool Heart

Think of this as the warm-weather fragrance for hot afternoons, the gym bag and anyone who wants freshness that does not vanish in the first few minutes. It is a 100ml eau de parfum from the Hawas range, aimed at men, and some bottles now carry the Kenz de Rasasi name.

Hawas Ice Freeze opens on sweet, juicy citrus rather than a blast of cold. The chill arrives in the middle, where mint sits beside ginger, and the scent settles into soft musk and woods as it dries. The clever part is timing: the mint waits until the first impression has faded, so the coolness is still present once the citrus has gone.

Hawas Ice Freeze Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Mandarin, Orange, Bergamot.
• Middle Notes: Ginger, Lily of the Valley, Mint.
• Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Ambergris.

A cool heart instead of a cold start

Mint is quick to evaporate. Placed at the top, it delivers a sharp chill that is gone before you reach the door, which is how most fresh scents use it. Rasasi placed it one step lower here. The opening stays purely fruity, and the mint and ginger come forward only as the citrus loosens, so the cooling lasts longer and is carried by the heart.

Ginger does much of the work. Its warmth and bite sharpen the mint, so the cold feels more pronounced than it would on its own.

How the scent unfolds on skin

The early stage is fruit. Orange and mandarin read sweet and lively, while bergamot adds a clean, faintly bitter note, so the start smells like fruit that has just been peeled.

Next comes the chill. Mint and ginger arrive together, and lily of the valley softens the middle with a dewy freshness so the heart never turns sharp.

In the end the base is smooth. Ambergris brings a faintly salty warmth that sits close to the skin, sandalwood adds creaminess, and musk keeps everything soft. At that point the fragrance feels calm and clean rather than icy.

Placing it among the Hawas flankers

Hawas is Rasasi’s largest line and has produced several flankers, among them Hawas Ice, Hawas Sapphire and Hawas Venom. The names overlap but the scents do not, so check the full name on the box before buying.

Hawas Ice dates from 2023 and is the closest relative. Ice Freeze is a separate composition with different notes. Where Hawas Ice leans on moss, this one leaves it out, which makes it the brighter and simpler of the two.

If you want citrus and a cool finish that holds, Ice Freeze is the pick. Treat it as its own scent rather than a stronger version of Hawas Ice.

The Kenz de Rasasi name

Kenz de Rasasi is a label Rasasi launched in 2026 to showcase a selection of its flagship fragrances under a new identity. A bottle carrying that name is still a Rasasi perfume, and the company has been producing fragrance in the Gulf since 1979.

The label changes nothing about the liquid. It only explains why two names may appear on the same bottle.

Choosing it for your week

This is built for warm weather. Citrus, mint and clean musk stay easy to wear through heat, when sweeter scents begin to feel heavy. Because the mint is anchored in the heart, the cool character holds up well across the day.

It is less suited to a cold winter evening. Nothing in its base is rich or warm enough to carry that kind of occasion.

If mint reminds you of toothpaste, give this one a pass. Mint is the core of the scent here, not a small accent.
