What Is Rasasi Hawas Nautilus a Dupe Of?

What is Hawas Nautilus a clone of?

Rasasi Hawas Nautilus is a clone of Xerjoff 40 Knots. We rate the similarity at 85%. The connection is the marine-and-wood direction: sea air, a salty theme and woods, with each fragrance taking its own approach.

If you're browsing the Hawas range, this is Nautilus specifically. The sea-blue bottle fits the idea, but the woody notes are just as relevant to the comparison as the water. We'd keep both parts in mind when deciding whether to try it.

How do their notes line up?

Nautilus lists sea water and ambergris at the top, cypress and cedar in the middle, then sand and driftwood at the base. It's a fairly short list, with a clear coastal theme running through it.

Our 40 Knots catalog profile lists woody notes, cedar, salt, sea water and green notes without splitting them into top, middle and base tiers. Xerjoff keeps the Join the Club collection's notes private, so this is a catalog comparison rather than an official disclosed formula.

What should you compare?

Cedar and sea water are direct overlaps in the saved profiles. The broader woody and salty theme also connects them. Nautilus adds specific labels such as cypress, sand and driftwood, giving you a few details to focus on when sampling.

We'd pay attention to how the marine side sits against the woods. If you love 40 Knots, that balance is more useful to compare than checking off matching note names. Our 85% rating puts Nautilus close while leaving room for a different interpretation of the same general style.
