Very nice Hacivat flanker

This is a combined review of Hacivat and Hacivat X which I tested from samples on consecutive days and also compared directly. I've never tried Adventus, so can't compare these to it. I do have and enjoy Montblanc Explorer.

Hacivat is a really nice, strong and masculine fragrance with a great pineapple-citrusy opening. The dry down does have some subtle old school vibes with the oak moss and woody accord. Hacivat strikes me as much smoother and less woody than Hacivat X and Explorer. Overall scent is people pleasing and is a definite versatile easy grab for most any occasion. Longevity is very good with strong sillage.

On to Hacivat X. The major different between it and the OG is that X has a much more pronounced woody accord, the pineapple/citrusy opening is not as prominent and X comes across as sharper or less smooth. The OG seems a bit sweeter than X. I'd also say that Hacivat X is closer to Explorer, although Explorer is even sharper and more woody. X is also a very masculine fragrance (perhaps more so than the OG) with the same great performance as the OG.

In the final analysis, Hacivat and Hacivat X are both great fragrances, so it just comes down to personal choice on which you'd prefer. My preference leans towards the OG and it isn't redundant seeing that I also have Explorer (they don't smell alike). Hacivat X would be redundant since it's much closer to Explorer. My recommendation would be to start with Hacivat. If you want something woodier, go with Hacivat X.

Hacibaba X

Hacivat X
Like the og opens op with pineapple and citrus and you get that oakmossy vibe only this time it’s like a smoky vetiver. like smokey birch style like oakmoss. This time the pineapple is accompanied with a lime note making it a touch sweeter and more creamy i think because of the lime and maybe some jasmine or hedione touch. this for my first impresions is still like 85/90% like the og it smells very very nice. The legendary hacivat dna is still here. It’s hard to talk about perfomance because the samples spray so little it can’t be compared to a real bottle atomizer. But i think its good in the power department. Haci X dries down and keeps this creamy oakmossy vetiver while it lingers to softness. If you love the og you will also love this.

Excellent summer fragrance

I tried this at the store and had a good enough first impression of it that I decided to go for the bottle. On skin I feel it's fantastic, absolutely perfect summer fragrance. The pineapple I'd been told about is there but a little more subtle, a kind of lime/bergamot scent seems to take center stage instead. On the dry down it does take on more of a warm sweeter side I've come to associate with some other Nishane fragrances. Very happy to have this

It Is Good But A Lot is Missing

I am surprised that this is classified as "fruity" because I am definitely not getting fruit from this. I am also not picking up any of the floral notes. I would say this makes for a great chypre fragrance. The top is spicy with the pink pepper and a hint of bergamot. I maybe get a hit of the lime in the middle but it is easy to miss. Mostly, the Haitian vetiver dominates this scent from the start. Its little bit smoky and very woody. That paired with the sandalwood and patchouli just makes this scent very woody to me. Its good, just kinda disappointed that the other notes are lost. It lasted on my skin about 6 hours and projection was about 4.

Hacivat X I False Expectations + Herd Behavior + Influencers = rather negative review I RETHINK!

First of all, I want to say that I have been using the traditional Hacivat for years and know the scent DNA very well; also the surrounding themes like Creed Aventus over several batches/years. Why do I start with this comment? Well, from my perspective, an extremely large number of reviews are strongly based on false expectations - what does the community expect from a anniversary edition?

- If they had pushed the performance with even more oakmoss and Ambrox, comments would have flown in like "Hacivat has released an elixir, little innovation, who needs more performance, expected more"
- If they had completely changed the scent DNA, it wouldn't have become an anniversary version, but rather a new line hidden under well-performing brands; I can already see many opinions coming in here

You see, no matter what the niche houses do, we always find reasons to criticize what has been done, and everyone with their personal expectations or, even worse, the personally-influenced opinions of others.

The idea behind Hacivat X is, in my view, not to get closer to Aventus (sorry, but anyone who knows Aventus batches knows that Hacivat X has absolutely nothing to do with any Aventus batch), but to bring a "more mass-appealing" variant of Hacivat to the market that

a) gives niche lovers enough "niche" but makes the scent more suitable for everyday use in the office, etc.

b) does not give newcomers the full blast of oakmoss; that is really challenging for many

Now to the scent itself, finally:
- I find that Hacivat X is quite similar to the original, the Hacivat. The additional bergamot takes away the already aggressive, rather piercing pineapple note in Hacivat a bit. The opening is therefore not so "harsh," but much rounder

- The drydown feels more harmonious, rounder, and a bit more floral to me. The big difference is that the base is now more woody, slightly floral-fruity; Hacivat hits hard with full oakmoss and woods here

- The H/S is really good, of course not as extreme as with Hacivat, but we are talking about significantly above-average projection and longevity; whether one really wants to project for 24 hours is the question. If the goal is to show that one has spent a bit of money and needs the performance - well, then it's better to reach for Hacivat. But anyone looking for a pleasant companion for everyday life will be very well served with Hacivat X

- The price - well, known to be high at the beginning, far too high. I think prices will adjust drastically once the scent is fully retail-ready, the ideal price point for the 100ML, in my view, should be around 200-220.-

- Comments on sophistication; well, was Hacivat really more sophisticated? It is much harsher, edgier. How do you even define sophistication? Roja has a high level of sophistication, but then we complain about the performance :)

Overall, a successful scent for me, and unfortunately, I cannot agree with many comments here. But that is not my goal or my mission; objectivity is much more important to me here. Just enjoy the scents, and let the fragrance affect you without thinking in every direction.
