Stronger (!) Hacivate
Yes, you read that right!

Originally I just wanted to make a statement about this fragrance but I can't help but lose a few more characters and write a little review.

I'm not one for smelling exact notes from perfumes - I either like the scent or I don't. Unless the perfume goes in a very clear direction and individual fragrance notes are easy to smell.

I'm also not a fan of whether a fragrance is a copy or a dupe of another fragrance. But here I can't avoid it, in my eyes, or rather in my nose, the fragrance smells exactly 1:1 to Hacivat.

Many people buy Hacivat as an alternative to Aventus. And Hacivat does indeed go in this direction. In my opinion, however, it is earthier and less smoky, but also has a stronger sillage and lasts longer. And for many people, it is precisely this criterion - that the Hacivat performs very well - that is the argument for buying the Hacivat and against the Aventus. They are not much cheaper, mind you: they are both very expensive.

And this is where the Niche Emarati - Al Dana comes into play. As mentioned, this fragrance smells absolutely identical to me! However, with the one subtle difference that it costs a fraction: I paid 40.- for a 100ml copy, which is about 20% of a Hacivat in the same size. I can't tell any difference in terms of performance either, the longevity and sillage are also very good, just like the original.

Due to the unbelievable similarity to Hacivat, I will refrain from giving a more detailed description of the fragrance here; you can read plenty of them in the reviews of Hacivat. Maybe the Al Dana is a very, very, very small bit more fruity and less earthy, but really minimal. The lemon-pineapple note plays first fiddle here too. Over time, this one also becomes creamier and smoother, a real feel-good experience.

Flacon top, presentation too. You can get a picture of it, I have uploaded 2 more photos. Great value for money!

Conclusion: If you like Hacivat, you will also like this one. For me, at any rate, it's a really great fragrance for spring.

P.S. Well, the review didn't turn out to be that short after all ;-)

Like a walk in the woods
Right after the rain, when the first rays of sunshine hit the forest floor.

I'm not an expert, which is why I tend to rate this fragrance "emotionally" rather than analyzing all of its components. I'll leave that to more experienced users.

I think this fragrance is great. It is somehow special without being overpowering.

Based on my associations, I find the fragrance calming on the one hand, like a walk through the woods where I played as a child. Switch off, take a deep breath, clear your head.

On the other hand, I also find it a bit exciting. I can tell because I always want to smell it and then sniff my clothes or the back of my hand.

Unfortunately, I have to criticize something here: the durability and intensity of the fragrance are rather mediocre.

(Of course, this can also be an advantage if you want to use the fragrance every day in the office, for example - I think it's perfect for that.)
__________

The fragrance starts citrusy-fresh, I don't smell much pineapple. Not a problem for me, as I'm not a big fan of pineapple.

All of this evaporates (on my skin) within a few minutes.

The great feel-good forest note that I have already described above then emerges.

Wood, leaves and conifers, moss - still damp from the rain, but now warmed up by the intense rays of the sun.

The whole thing remains wonderfully fresh and never looks musty or "swampy".

The fragrance stays that way until it suddenly disappears. For me after about 5 hours.
__________

The bottle has a great finish and feels high-quality. I think the look is great, but that is of course a matter of taste. At first glance, it looks black and silver, but when you hold it up to the light, the glass appears greenish - very fitting with my "green" forest associations.

There is nothing wrong with the spray head.
__________

Despite the somewhat disappointing longevity, I would recommend this fragrance unconditionally to anyone for whom the above description of a fresh, damp forest could evoke a pleasant feeling or a beautiful memory.

Next to the "Antique", this is (so far) my favorite fragrance from the "Niche Emarati" series by Lattafa.

Thank you for reading my first review.

Brilliant first impression. Like a fresh lime-lemonade with pepper in a sunny coniferous forest.
