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 ;-)
