I have and enjoy the regular Invictus so I assumed it was a safe blind buy being that its a flanker of Hawas(Invictus clone) and yes it does smell similar but the Mint is overpowering.

Rasasi Hawas (Invictus clone) and Turathi Blue (Tygar/BDC clone) are superb spring/summer fragrances that are highly rated.

You can go and buy Rasasi Hawas, its a similar scent profile to Paco Rabanne Invictus, the perfume Zara is trying to replicate with Seoul

Both are labeled as Invictus clones.

To be fair both Hawas and Hawas Ice are based on Rabanne Invictus DNA.

As someone who owns hayaati and has smelled hawas they smell very similar, which they are based on Invictus.

Hawas actually came before invictus, making it not a clone
A Reddit comment, Jul 2024, 15 points, disagrees
I thought maybe it was the DNA, but I got to smell Invictus again a few days ago and itâs honestly a night and day difference.
A Reddit comment, Sep 2025, 7 points, disagrees
OG Hawas and Invictus were released around the same time and too close to each other for it to be a clone afaik.

All 83 quotes
\- Hawas for him (Invictus dupe)
A Reddit post, May 2026, 4 points
Najdia just leans a bit more green in the drydown and is less âbubblegummyâ, but you can pick up that they go for the same Invictus DNA.
A Reddit comment, Jun 2025, 4 points
Some people see it as an Invictus clone but as a Hawas lover Iâd say at best itâs âinspired byâ but not a clone.
A Reddit comment, Jun 2025, 3 points
All are clones\twists of Invictus\Invictus Ice.
A Reddit comment, Nov 2024, 3 points
Also, it is highly probable Hawas was intended to be a clone of main line invictus rather than invictus aqua.
A Reddit comment, Oct 2023, 3 points
Hawas has better performance than Invictus so if you want a beast mode version of Invictus and can live with the aquatic oceanic vibe, then go for it.
A Reddit comment, Jun 2024, 3 points
Rasasi Hawas- Invictus clone

A Reddit comment, Aug 2025, 3 points
From what I understand the OG Hawas came out around the same time as Invictus so couldnât necessarily be a clone.
A Reddit comment, Dec 2025, 2 points, disagrees
Original HAWAS which CANNOT be a "clone of Invictus" since it came out first.

Okay - Rasasi Hawas is absolutely nothing like either Invictus Hawas has 1 floral note.
A Reddit comment, Nov 2023, 1 point, disagrees
Itâs not exactly a dupe but it has an Invictus vibe.
A Reddit comment, Apr 2025, 1 point
So, PR noticed Hawas' twist of the original was beautiful, enough for them to come up with a flanker and named it Aqua which is just a clone of a clone of Invictus with a twist đ
A Reddit comment, Jan 2024, 1 point
Rassasi Hawas could work too because they both smell like Invictus and Invictus Aqua.
A Reddit comment, Apr 2024, 1 point
Hawas smells like invictus and Turathi smells like Tygar.

I have (and love) the OG and Bourbon Asad, so really tempted for the Limited Edition Zanzibar, but I have Hawas which is also Invictus DNA similar to Hayaati so I just want to avoid redundancy đ
A Reddit comment, May 2025, 1 point
So hereâs the breakdown: Invictus in 2013 Hawas was done as a twist on invictus in 2015 PR released invictus aqua as a special release in 2016 that was really close to hawas 2018 invictus aqua is relaunched but itâs a lot different from either original or hawas 2019 invictus legend comes is released

In search of new fragrances I've come across quite a few recommendations for Hawas and other 'Invictus-inspired' scents.
A Reddit post, Jun 2024, 1 point
I don't think just because Hawas is more expensive, it has to mean that it's somehow objectively better than other Invictus inspired frags.
A Reddit comment, Jun 2024, 1 point
So Invictus actually is inspired by Hawas.

I'd suggest smelling Invictus before buying Hawas if you have such possibility, as it is the same DNA.
A Reddit comment, Aug 2024, 1 point
If you want a better quality, try al haramain amber oud gold, or invictus from PR similar to hawas but better quality with less performance , as for hawas it is indeed smell little synthetic, but i never had any issue with it .
