Hawas Kobra at the gym – lesson learned

Brother-to-brother honest review.

Yesterday, I accidentally wore Hawas Kobra to the gym. I didn’t realise I had already applied it earlier in the day, and by the time I got to the gym, I couldn’t smell anything on myself. I thought the scent was already gone.

But while running on the treadmill beside my wife in the air-conditioned gym, something interesting happened. The cold indoor environment reactivated the fragrance. The scent started projecting again.

This morning, I asked her how it was. She said the scent itself was nice, but it was too overpowering in that setting. In fact, it was strong enough that it became uncomfortable while exercising next to me.

This came as a surprise because I genuinely couldn’t smell it myself. This is a classic case of nose blindness — when you get used to your own fragrance and think it’s gone, but others can still smell it clearly.

What I learned is that Hawas Kobra performs very differently in air-conditioned environments compared to outdoor heat. In hot weather, it fades quickly. But in cold indoor environments like a gym, the projection can come back strongly.

So note to all brothers — Hawas Kobra is not a gym fragrance. Unless you want to choke the person beside you while doing cardio.

This also confirms something important: Hawas Kobra actually has stronger projection than you think — especially indoors.

Looking for gym safe scents....
