by Nishane
Hacivat by Nishane is a bold, fresh, and powerful fragrance that captures attention from the very first spray. It opens with a vibrant, juicy pineapple accord blended seamlessly with bergamot and grapefruit, creating a zesty, almost fruity-clean aura that is immediately noticeable. The fragrance evolves into a rich, mossy, and woody drydown dominated by oakmoss and patchouli, giving it depth and a surprisingly sophisticated, earthy character. While it shares the pineapple note with Creed Aventus, it diverges significantly in both character and longevity, leaning toward a cleaner, more refined, and greener profile rather than the smoky, incense-driven Aventus. The fragrance is highly wearable during spring and summer, not for quiet spaces but rather for those who want to make a strong impression. It has consistently been noted for its exceptional performance – long-lasting, projecting strongly for hours, and leaving a persistent trail on clothes for days. However, the scent must be appreciated carefully: the intense, linear progression means it remains potent throughout, with little transition, and some find the oakmoss drydown intrusive or slightly synthetic, especially in the first few hours. Its performance is sometimes blamed on changes in production batches, though experiences vary based on skin chemistry and age of the bottle.
