About this video

Hawas Ice, Terre d’Hermès Parfum and Gucci Guilty Absolute give this list a different starting point from the usual handful of recommendations. Nuit d’Issey Parfum, Patchouli Paris, Bad Boy Elixir and Million Gold round it out.

I’d follow whichever scent direction interests you most. If Hawas Ice is the draw, its comparison with the original Hawas is linked below. For Bad Boy Elixir, the Extreme comparison is useful because leather and woods make a different buying case from cocoa and tonka.
