Beast mode pineapple juice
I'm not a fan of the now hyped niche brands and the rise of arabic brands, but Im not against their existence. People that like beast mode scents, have plenty of choices nowadays. I'm more into dynamic French compositions with aromatics, woods and spices.

Creed is a brand that i really like due to their great rounded and well blended scents, but their prices are crazy for me. I dont play those prices for a fragrance, no matter how good they are. But that's just my perspective.

Nishane is an example of a brand that have powerful blends but with a row finish. Fan your flames is a beast mode coconut with tobacco that i dont care. I sold my bottle cause its very static and pushy. Not my thing.

This one, surprised me in a way. There's an obvious resemblance to Aventus but different enough to be a stand alone composition. Aventus is dynamic, super fresh, well blended, with a smoky birch note, a great bergamot, a addictive blackcurrant and a soft aura overall.

This is just straight to pineapple juice with a high dose of moss in the background. Yes, it has bergamot too. The grapefruit give that bitter quality and there's patchouli and cedar in the middle, which round things up. But the moss and pineapple are so strong that the other notes have a minor role here.

The smell is static and dont change during the lifetime of the fragrance. And talking about longevity, this is beast mode. 5 sprays are enough to smell like pineapple and green moss for 12+ hours. I usually overspray fragrances but this one, with 8-10 sprays, it's super strong and headache inducing.

Overall, Aventus is miles better that this in terms of composition, but in longevity and price point, this is much better. The smell is likeable, dont get me wrong. And in fact, is probably the best from the brand, but its a bit synthetic and not rounded enough, specially in the first 2h, where the fragrance hás a strong projection.

Overall, i like it very much but i still prefer Aventus for a more dynamic and quality fragrance.

4/5

Wait for the woody notes
It's such an intense pineapple fragrance. It starts off like a generic cologne, like Aventus. But it's unique once it dries down and the woods start appearing. It lasts 6-8 hours on me and has pretty strong sillage. What I like the most is that it's a spring/summer fragrance and there aren't many masculin citruses for summer with such good performance. Overall I love wearing Hacivat, especially in summer.

A higher quality Aventus?
Alright so this isn't quite like aventus. Its missing that smoky birch drydown that makes Aventus addictive.

But this is addictive in its own way. Its like if you took that fresh pineapple opening to Aventus and amped it up to 10 with high quality ingredients

This is pineapple citrus fresh, and kinda mossy. Its kinda hard to describe how good this fragrance is cuz its so high quality. I say ignore any reviews and get a decant. If you’re looking for quality ingredients, look no further. This is the stuff right here.

My first Nishane
Hacivat is so nice - I just love the bright and fruity opening that reminds me of a sparkling citrus drink. Then you have an earthy-woody dry down with oakmoss.

The longevity and performance of this is crazy as well lasts 12 Hours on my skin and days on clothes.

This is the fragrance that caused my total shift to niche. The quality and longevity is just so good.

Wear it before deciding!
It took a full wearing experience to appreciate Hacivat. Spot spraying it on skin then sniffing it occasionally does not work. The sharpness may be off putting if you only spray it in one place on your body, especially if your nose is unfamiliar with this type of dry earthy citrus. I was not impressed at all after testing it like this.

The unique beauty of Hacivat is in the air. The dry, sharp and green blend distinguishes it from Aventus and Absolu Aventus. It is not a redundant purchase if you have one of the Aventus fragrances. I love that it is not sweet.

Everytime I wear Hacivat, I get a compliment or two or three. Hacivat is more masculine than unisex to my nose. It is an attention grabber, a statement maker. It speaks of a man’s strength, confidence, uniqueness and maturity IMO. Be careful with how much you spray. It can draw more attention to you than you want.

I have nothing else like Hacivat in my fragrance wardrobe, with the exception of Hawas Black. It is an exceptional dupe if the Hacivat price point is a concern.

You can wear Hacivat the entire year for any occasion. It works casually or dressed up. Moderate the sprays based upon the setting and proximity to others.

Full bottle worthy.

It’s a life fragrance for me. Top 20 in my collection. Top 5 fresh fruity or citrusy scent.

I wish we would stop comparing Hacivat and Aventus. The two are completely different, and Hacivat is definitely animalic and sensual.

Fresh, effervescent, fruity. Aventus-adjacent with a more prominent patchouli. Versatile.

At first it's mouldy. After a few minutes it turns into a beautiful unisex pineapple fragrance. Not a blind buy. And NOT similar to Aventus.
