Rasasi Hawas Viper

You can buy the genuine Rasasi Hawas Viper straight from FragranceNet.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Rasasi Hawas Viper opens with Green Notes, Davana, Saffron and Thyme; a heart of Tobacco, Coffee, Cinnamon, Violet and Raspberry; drying down to Tonka Bean, Musk and Balsamic Notes, from notes Rasasi (official) publishes. Those notes read as green, aromatic, fruity, floral, spicy, sweet, the coarse families Rasasi (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Rasasi Hawas Viper runs $55.99 at FragranceNet.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them; a real 5ml sample is $2.99.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Hawas Viper by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Hawas Viper, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Rasasi Hawas Viper is listed as a men's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "men's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.
