Rasasi is one of the UAE's best-known perfume houses, and its Hawas line has become a genuine favourite here in Ireland — we get asked about it in our Limerick and Cork stores every week. Here's a proper guide: what Rasasi is, where to buy it in Ireland, what it costs, and which scent to pick first.
What Is Rasasi Perfume?
Rasasi Perfumes Industry LLC is a family-owned fragrance house founded in Dubai in 1979. It's built its name on blending traditional Gulf ingredients — oud, amber, musk, saffron — with the brighter, more familiar style of European perfumery. That mix is exactly why it's found such a following outside the Middle East, including here: Rasasi scents feel Arabian in character but wear easily alongside any Western fragrance wardrobe.
Where to Buy Rasasi Perfume in Ireland
You can shop the full Rasasi range in person at our Dubai Oud stores in Limerick and Cork, where you can smell each scent before you commit — genuinely the best way to choose a fragrance. Prefer to shop from home? Our online store ships the same range nationwide, with every Hawas scent available in 100ml, 10ml and 3ml decants so you can try before going full-size.
Meet Hawas: Rasasi's Most Popular Line in Ireland
Launched in 2015, Hawas For Him is the scent that put Rasasi on the map outside the Gulf — fresh, aquatic-woody and easy to wear daily. Since then the line has grown into a full wardrobe of variations, all in stock:
- Hawas For Him — the original: aquatic, woody, endlessly wearable
- Hawas Black — a darker, smokier chypre for evening
- Hawas Fire — crisp and herbal with an ambergris finish
- Hawas Ice — a cooler, lighter aromatic
- Hawas Malibu — fruity, amber and sun-soaked
- Hawas Tropical — coconut water and green freshness
- Hawas London — the most refined, oriental-woody turn
- Hawas Sapphire — the newest addition, floral-fruity
- Hawas Elixir — the richest, a warm gourmand for winter
- Hawas For Her — pomegranate and apple over floral-fruity gourmand
Common Questions About Rasasi Perfume in Ireland
Is Rasasi a good perfume brand?
Yes — Rasasi is one of the UAE's most established fragrance houses, in business since 1979, exported to over 60 countries, and known for strong longevity and rich, well-blended compositions. It sits in the affordable-luxury bracket rather than designer pricing, which is a big part of its appeal.
How much does Rasasi Hawas cost in Ireland?
At Dubai Oud, Hawas 100ml Eau de Parfums range from roughly €40–€72 depending on the variant, with 10ml and 3ml sizes available from around €5–€12 if you want to try before buying full-size.
Is Hawas a dupe of a designer fragrance?
Hawas is often compared to bigger-name aquatic-woody designer scents because of its fresh, spicy-amber profile, but it's a distinct Rasasi composition in its own right, not a direct clone — and at a fraction of designer pricing.
How long does Rasasi perfume last on the skin?
Most Rasasi Eau de Parfums are built for strong longevity, typically 6–8+ hours, which comes from the brand's Gulf roots — fragrances made to hold up in serious heat tend to last well in Irish weather too.
Can I get Rasasi perfume delivered in Ireland?
Yes — we ship the full Rasasi range, including every Hawas variant, nationwide from our online store, or you can collect in person from our Limerick or Cork locations.
