A Calm Scent in Stressful Times
It must be mentioned upfront that Hacivat certainly resembles Creed Aventus or has a similar DNA. However, in my opinion, the two scents are not as similar as is often portrayed. Anyone testing or buying the fragrance blindly with the expectation that it is an Aventus, just with longer longevity and stronger sillage, can be very disappointed.
Personally, I find Aventus to be soft-smoky with a leather-like, also classically elegant finish. I can even imagine that it is more accessible to more people compared to Hacivat, despite its "sharper" development.
Hacivat is greener, earthier, and more robust - which is certainly due to the strength of the oakmoss. The fruitiness fades and makes way for oakmoss, patchouli, and wood in my eyes. The development is smoother compared to Aventus. I completely understand if there are some fragrance lovers who find the oakmoss too dominant. For me, however, it makes the scent pleasantly complex and less mainstream. Additionally, the fragrance gives me a certain calmness and feels niche-elegant. Especially the longer longevity and stronger sillage (which is subjective) can be advantages.
For all those who like the Aventus DNA and are not bothered by the green character, Hacivat is the somewhat more special and characterful scent. Despite the similar DNA, Hacivat will sometimes fit the personality of the fragrance lover more, sometimes less.
Definitely test it beforehand and do not expect to smell a souped-up Aventus.
