It’s similar to Imperial Valley Gissah but skips the smoky bakhoor vibe, focusing instead on a sweeter, livelier, and more playful naughty feel.

Just seen two reviews on Hawas Fire and I guess it's a clone of Imperial Valley Gissah.

Have seen others describe it like this, and I agree with it fully: Hawas Fire is a "westernized" / "designerized" take on Imperial Valley.

Kind of like how Hawas Fire is so reminiscent of Imperial Valley, even though they only share one note, and it's a totally general one (amber).

It takes inspiration from the opening of Imperial Valley but adds a juicier, more mass-appealing twist.

Hawas Fire is not a dupe of Imperial Valley, probably have some similar accords but it's not enough to say it's a dupe.
A Reddit comment, Aug 2025, 2 points, disagrees
I've heard it shares its DNA with Gissah Imperial Valley, but that's only if it had to be a clone of something at gunpoint, whereas actually they're two completely different scents.
