What Is Rasasi Hawas Overdose a Dupe Of?

What is Hawas Overdose a clone of?

Rasasi Hawas Overdose is a clone of Parfums de Marly Althaïr. Vanilla, praline and orange blossom are the main connection. If that combination is what you enjoy about Althaïr, Overdose is one to put on your shortlist.

This is a sweeter direction to explore within the Hawas range. The name alone won't tell you much about the scent, so the notes are a better place to start than assuming it follows another Hawas release you've tried.

How do the notes compare?

Overdose lists aromatic and spicy notes at the top, orange blossom, guaiac wood and amber in the middle, then ambergris, vanilla and praline at the base. That gives you a useful outline: spice, a floral touch, woods and plenty of sweet notes underneath.

Althaïr's catalog pyramid lists bergamot, mandarin and elemi first, followed by orange blossom, cinnamon and cardamom. Bourbon vanilla, guaiac wood and praline form the base. Orange blossom, guaiac wood, vanilla and praline connect the two lists, even though their positions and descriptions differ.

Where could they feel different?

We'd pay attention to the opening and the balance of sweetness. Althaïr names its citrus and spices individually, while Overdose uses broader aromatic and spicy labels. That doesn't tell us which particular spices are in Rasasi's blend.

Amber and ambergris are also part of Overdose's saved profile. Althaïr specifically names Bourbon vanilla and keeps its base list shorter. Those details give you things to compare on skin, rather than a reason to expect the two fragrances to develop in exactly the same way.

Should you consider Hawas Overdose?

We'd consider it if a vanilla-and-praline fragrance with orange blossom sounds appealing. If you already own Althaïr or a similar fragrance, try them together and see whether Overdose adds enough to your collection.
