Our pick is Rasasi Hawas Tropical. Owners score it 8 for accuracy and 8 for longevity, from $35. We compare 2 matches below.
Two separate scores, never averaged: how close it smells, and how long it lasts.
2025 Rasasi Hawas flanker in the salty-tropical aquatic lane of JPG Le Beau Paradise Garden (coconut/fig/salt over mint and ginger). Community-flagged as a budget alternative; scored as a partial match pending broader consensus.
About thirty reviewers who know Paradise Garden compare the two: more than half find it very close, around ninety percent, a quarter say it has less coconut or sits nearer other Le Beau scents, and a fifth say it is not close. Wear time is long for most, eight hours and more.
Opens with a clean, slightly sharp burst of mint and ginger over watery green notes — aquatic but with enough bite to avoid smelling generic. The heart is where it earns its identity: coconut and fig read as tropical without going sunscreen-sweet, kept honest by a persistent salinity that gives the whole composition a beachy, almost skin-wet quality. The dry-down is soft sandalwood and tonka, warm but light, holding the salt and coconut close to the skin. Projection is moderate; sillage is polite rather than loud. — Best worn in heat, casual settings, by anyone who wants a tropical aquatic that doesn't tip into gourmand territory.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
