reddit post ↗“Rasasi Hawas Fire 🔥 Definitely a clone of Imperial Valley Giza with a twist. The opening starts off very fruity and with similarities to the OG Hawas original, but it quickly turns into a lighter sweeter version of Imperial Valley Giza”

Where people disagree
“People compared it to Gissah Imperial Valley. While I have not smelled that, I know it’s an oud fragrance, and Hawas Fire I certainly get no Oud.”
reddit post ↗“I chose this over other Imperial Valley clones because Hawas Fire, while good, smells very different and lacks the smoky leather character.”
reddit post ↗“I have both imperial valley & fire , i would pick fire for the versatility handsdown!! & they are a lot different”
reddit ↗“Fire isn't really a clone of IV. They have similar vibes, but calling it a clone is a stretch.”

“The fragrance is inspired by Imperial Valley by Gissah Perfumes”
reddit post ↗“Sultan the Founder by French Avenue: This fragrance is a clone of Gissah Imperial Valley”
reddit post ↗“French Avenue Sultan the Founder - I almost forgot that this was a IV twist because of how different the opening is from the drydown. It opens super woody and the fruitiness doesn’t creep in until later. Once it dries down, it’s got a reall”
reddit post ↗“It does smell a lot like imperial valley. I have both and it is the closest I have found to the original”
reddit ↗“Sultan the Founder by French Avenue: This fragrance is a clone of Gissah Imperial Valley and has completely changed my perspective on Oud fragrances.”
