Rasasi Hawas Gold Digger

Rasasi launched Hawas Gold Digger in August 2026 alongside Hawas La Mer, and the house did not hide its reference point. It is a pear, lavender and vanilla fougère in the style of Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male, with mint and bergamot up top, cinnamon and sage in the heart, and a warm vanilla, amber and patchouli base. Early wearers describe it as fresher and less sweet than Ultra Male. Aromatica carries the Rasasi Hawas Gold Digger decant in Bangladesh, so you can test that before a bottle.

The Scent

It opens with pear, mint, lavender and bergamot. Pear gives a juicy sweetness, mint and bergamot keep it bright, and lavender adds the classic aromatic backbone of a fougère. The start is fresh and slightly sweet, and it feels tidy rather than loud.

The heart is cinnamon and sage. Cinnamon brings warmth and spice, and sage keeps it structured and herbal. Together they stop the sweetness from turning soft or sugary. This is where the fougère shape becomes clear.

The base is vanilla, amber, cedar and patchouli. Vanilla and amber make it warm and plush, cedar keeps it woody, and patchouli adds a little depth. The drydown is the part people know from Ultra Male: sweet, smooth and made for evenings, though here it stays a touch drier.

Reviewers on Fragrantica describe it as Ultra Male with manners: the same idea, but tamer and more polished. One wearer likes that it is fresher and less sweet, so they can wear the style more often. Another hopes it finally settles the long run of Ultra Male style releases. Complaints so far are about the cap, not the scent. As a new 2026 release, it has fewer reviews than older Hawas bottles, so opinions may still shift as more people wear it.

When to Wear

Hawas Gold Digger suits evenings, nights out and dates, and works best from autumn to spring. The fresher opening makes it a little easier in warm weather than heavier sweet scents, but in peak humidity keep it to two sprays. More evening picks are in the Aromatic Herbs and Fougère collection.

Who Is It For

It suits men who like the Ultra Male style but find the original too sweet, and anyone who wants a playful evening scent at an Arabian price. It is also a way to try that pear and vanilla direction before looking at the designer bottle. Hawas collectors will find it one of the more clearly different flankers, since it moves the line into sweet fougère territory rather than another fresh aquatic. For a first evening scent, it is an easy and friendly choice.

Gold Digger is frequently compared to Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male. Within the line, Hawas Elixir is another evening-leaning Hawas. Browse the full Rasasi collection.
