Hawas Tropical is Rasasi's take on Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Beau Paradise Garden — a fresh, vibrant fragrance that captures the essence of a tropical adventure, from the first burst of coconut water to a warm, creamy finish.

The Story

Launched in 2025 as part of the ever-growing Hawas collection, Hawas Tropical channels the sun-drenched coconut-and-fig character that made its inspiration one of the most talked-about summer fragrances in recent years. It's built for the modern man who wants an invigorating yet refined scent that carries the spirit of a tropical escape.

The Scent

It opens with energising fig leaf, coconut water, and ginger — a fresh, green, slightly spicy burst that evokes the vitality of a tropical morning.

The heart unfolds with creamy coconut, succulent fig, and cooling mint. Reviewers love how Rasasi handles the mint here, and several say the effect is like a nice tropical drink, with pina colada vibes.

The base settles into sandalwood, tonka bean, and musk, with the tonka adding a slight vanilla warmth that rounds out the coconut and gives the composition its lasting, sophisticated depth.

An Honest Note on the Comparison

This is a genuinely debated comparison, and it's worth going in with realistic expectations. Many reviewers call it a very close match, with figures like 90% similar quoted, and a few even prefer it because it lacks the feminine, powdery edge they find in the original. Others stress that it's a different fragrance: stronger and more noticeable, but less smooth and refined, and "not close" if you want something identical. One reviewer also noted it smells almost identical to Khadlaj's Island, though with far stronger performance. The fair summary: if you love the coconut-fig-mint tropical style, most reviewers are happy, but if you specifically want an exact Paradise Garden replica, the advice is to buy the original.

Pro Tip

Because this one projects strongly in the first hour, start with 2 sprays rather than your usual amount. You can always add more once you know how the coconut and fig settle on your skin.
