Rasasi Hawas Malibu EDP Decant

Rasasi Hawas Malibu EDP is a tropical fruity aromatic fragrance launched in 2025, the latest addition to Rasasi's popular Hawas line. Inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Le Parfum, Malibu takes the tropical sweet framework of its inspiration and brightens it with a citrus-heavy pineapple and grapefruit opening, keeping any coconut to a barely detectable level and running cleaner and fresher than the JPG original. Rasasi positions it as a modern daytime scent with broad unisex appeal, and the fragrance community has largely agreed with that positioning. This is a hand filled, 100% authentic fragrance decant from Fragrance ADDX, poured in Adelaide from the real Rasasi bottle.

Experience

The opening is vibrant and immediately tropical. Pineapple, orange, and grapefruit arrive together as a juicy, bright citrus-fruit burst that is energetic and uplifting from the first spray. Community reviewers describe a vivid burst of pineapple and citrus at application, with the pineapple reading as the dominant character in the first minutes. Unlike Le Beau Le Parfum, which carries a heavier coconut accord through its heart, Malibu keeps any coconut barely perceptible, resulting in a cleaner and more citrus-forward opening that reads as immediately modern and wearable.

The heart transitions into orris, amber, and lavender. The orris adds a soft, slightly powdery creaminess that smooths the transition from the bright citrus opening to the warmer base. Amber provides a quiet warmth that begins building the gourmand quality of the drydown, and lavender sits behind both, adding an aromatic freshness that prevents the heart from becoming too sweet or heavy. The combination is smooth and balanced, achieving a pleasant contrast between the bright tropical opening and the warmer heart beneath it.

The drydown settles into tonka bean, musk, patchouli, and cashmeran. The cashmeran provides a soft woody warmth that gives the base a slightly creamy, enveloping quality. Tonka adds a vanilla-adjacent sweetness, and the musk keeps the overall projection clean and close rather than heavy. Community reviewers describe moderate longevity and sillage for this fragrance, rating it around 3.5 out of 5 on Fragrantica for longevity. It is not the performance monster of the Hawas line that Hawas Ice is, but it delivers a pleasant, consistent, and broadly appealing wearing experience across the day. Two to three sprays is the right starting dose.

A beach morning, salt air, something sweet and citrusy, nowhere to be until the afternoon.

What Does Rasasi Hawas Malibu Smell Like?

Hawas Malibu sits in the aromatic fruity category, drawing its primary inspiration from JPG Le Beau Le Parfum. The key structural difference between the two is the coconut: Le Beau Le Parfum carries a prominent coconut accord through its heart and drydown, which gives it its characteristic creamy tropical character. Malibu removes coconut almost entirely and leads with pineapple and citrus, resulting in a fragrance that is cleaner, fresher, and less sweet than the JPG original.

Community opinion on Malibu is more divided than other Hawas releases. Reviewers who love the fresh pineapple citrus profile describe it as a solid, easy wearing everyday fragrance. Reviewers who bought it expecting a close JPG Le Beau Le Parfum alternative found the DNA too different to satisfy that comparison. One reviewer describes it as smelling similar to Khadlaj Island in the air, which gives a useful additional reference point for anyone familiar with that fragrance.

The honest summary: Hawas Malibu is a pleasant, easy wearing, tropical fruity fragrance with moderate performance. It is not the standout performer of the Hawas line, but it is a genuinely enjoyable warm weather fragrance at Budget tier pricing. A 2ml decant gives you the complete wearing experience to assess whether the pineapple citrus tropical profile works in your rotation before committing to a larger size.
