False expectations are disappointed

Through various videos on Youtube (especially through the infamous top ten lists) I became aware of this fragrance and the house of Nishane. Several times it was described as an aventus killer and praised for its outstanding durability and silage. So when I recently purchased a YUNIQU subscription to dive into the world of niche fragrances (I'm still at the beginning of my fragrance journey), it wasn't much of a surprise that I had Hacivat, among others, sent to me in my first shipment. However, when I tried it for the first time, I was disappointed at first. All I smelled was a pungent, tart citrus bomb that reminded me of the opening of Goldfield & Banks Bohemian Lime (one family member even associated it with disinfectant!).

Please don't get me wrong, Hacivat is by no means a bad scent. My disappointment only came from the fact that I imagined a gentle, balanced from the start, slightly fruity-woody freshie. So it's no wonder that I left it for now and devoted more time to the other fragrance I had been sent. Yesterday, however, I looked at Hacivat again and found that it had more to offer than I originally thought.

The fragrance starts, as already described above, very citrusy. A certain sweetish fruitiness (presumably the pineapple) supports the bergamot and grapefruit without ever becoming star of the show. The scent gets a bit greener as it progresses (probably due to oakmoss and patchouli) and then woodier. In the process, the citrus notes withdraw and the composition becomes rounder and sweeter.

At durability and silage there is nothing to complain about on my skin, when I sprayed him in the evening he was still perceptible at noon for me and others.

The price is difficult for me: 305 € list price and 200 € market price per 100 ml are now times quite a house number. The fragrance I do not like so well that I would "invest" my saved pocket money (I'm only 16 :P) in it. In addition, I have at the moment not really use for a citrus freshness, because Bleu de Chanel (EdT) is already in my collection.

Conclusion: Hacivat is in my eyes a successful sparkling citrus fragrance with woody-green undertones and fruity nuances. However, who expects an Aventus clone with better durability and silage, will probably be disappointed.

All who have found their great fragrance love in Hacivat, I hereby call on you to also try the Bohemian Lime!

I hope you guys enjoyed my first review. I wish you a nice evening :D
