Rasasi Hawas Ice Freeze

Hawas Ice Freeze is a 2026 Rasasi flanker that trades the sweet fruit of the Hawas line for mandarin, mint and ginger over a light ambergris and sandalwood base, cold and sharp rather than candied. It is an eau de parfum for men, and despite the name it is a separate composition from the earlier Hawas Ice, not a stronger or reworked version of it.

The Scent

The opening is a three-citrus spray of mandarin, orange and bergamot, bright and a little acidic, closer to squeezed peel than to juice. There is no apple or plum here, which is the first clue this is not the Hawas Ice you may already know.

Within minutes the mint comes through, cool and green, and ginger adds a dry, tingling heat beside it. That pairing is what gives Freeze its name: a cold-hot contrast that keeps the citrus from going soft. Lily of the valley sits lightly behind them, a clean floral note that rounds the edges without making the scent read as floral.

The base is simple and clean. Ambergris brings a faint salty, mineral warmth, sandalwood gives it a smooth woody body, and musk ties the two together into something close to fresh laundry dried in the sun. It never turns resinous or sweet, which keeps the whole composition in the fresh aromatic lane from start to finish.

When to Wear

Freeze is a daytime scent first. It fits the long humid stretch of the Bangladeshi year, March to October, when sweeter fragrances can feel cloying, and it sits comfortably in an office, on a commute or at a casual lunch. On cooler evenings it still works, but it reads as crisp and clean rather than warm, so it is not the pick for a formal winter dinner. It also travels well to the gym bag or a weekend outing, where a sweet amber would feel out of place in the heat.

Who Is It For

This is for men who want a cold citrus fragrance with some bite, and for Hawas fans who want a fresh entry in the line rather than another sweet one. It also suits a first fragrance for daily wear, since nothing in it is challenging once the opening settles. If you loved the bubblegum fruit of the original Hawas, expect something very different here. Freeze trades that sweetness for the clean, peel-and-mint chill of a cold shower, and that is the whole point of choosing it over its siblings.

Its closest relatives on our shelves are Rasasi Hawas Ice, the fruitier apple and plum flanker it is named after, and the original Hawas that started the line. The full Rasasi collection covers the many other Hawas editions, and for more bright citrus openings, browse Citrus and Zesty.
