What Is Rasasi Hawas Thunder a Dupe Of?

What is Rasasi Hawas Thunder a clone of?

Rasasi Hawas Thunder is a clone of YSL MYSLF Absolu. We rate the similarity at 88%. If you're looking for that mix of fresh spice, orange blossom and woods, this is the MYSLF version to compare it with. The reference here is Absolu, the silver bottle, rather than the original MYSLF Eau de Parfum or Le Parfum.

Where the two line up

Bergamot, ginger, orange blossom and patchouli give these two plenty of common ground. Absolu pairs its citrus and ginger opening with cardamom, then moves into orange blossom and a woody patchouli base. That fresh, spicy opening over flowers and woods is the connection to look for when you try Thunder.

Thunder has a longer note list: apple and mandarin alongside bergamot, ginger and cedarwood up top; orange blossom, maté, peony and patchouli in the middle; then ambergris, cedarwood, musk, tonka and vanilla underneath. You don't need every listed note to match for two fragrances to smell close, but those extra ingredients help explain why 88% leaves room for differences.

What might feel different?

The note lists suggest Thunder could lean fruitier and sweeter, especially with apple, mandarin, vanilla and tonka in the mix. Absolu's cardamom and ginger put more emphasis on cool spice. That's a useful starting point for a side-by-side test, rather than a promise that each note will stand out on your skin.

If you already enjoy Absolu, pay attention to the balance between the spice and orange blossom once both fragrances have settled. A familiar opening matters, but you'll spend more time wearing what comes after it. Our similarity rating doesn't mean the two have identical projection or wear time.

Should you choose Hawas Thunder?

Thunder is worth a look if you want a clone of MYSLF Absolu and like the idea of a little fruit and sweetness around that floral, woody core. Compare the current offers above, checking the bottle size before you choose. If Absolu's particular spice balance is your favorite part, sampling both is the best way to decide whether Thunder gets close enough for you.
