Unfortunately not a lucky "half-blind buy"

I was visiting a friend in Rostock this winter and strolled past a really nice, newly opened perfume store in the pedestrian zone. When I spotted the Xerjoff bottles, I just had to ask my friend for a "short detour".
The owner, a really nice guy, took a lot of time to sniff through his range with me. We had completely opposing opinions on many things, which I should probably have memorized better. At some point, we ended up with the Nishane fragrances, of which he mainly presented me with the latest (most expensive) flagships... but there was one that stuck with me, took my heart by storm and had a lasting effect... yes, I know, late to the party, very, very late... but it was quite simply: Hacivat... this unagitated, masculine elegance, just totally mine. And then came the owner's sentence that brought me to this review: Yes, it's still very fine, but the Hacivat X is even better, but unfortunately I don't have it here to test.

And that sentence has stayed with me for weeks... so I thought to myself: trust the professional, ordered the better version... well

About the fragrance:

Just on this one day, I got to know the House of Nishane as a very unagitated, but high-quality house, but what is offered here is in stark contrast to my previous impression.

The opening is very synthetic for me, the pineapple has a very sticky note, almost syrupy, weighs very heavily and these smoky notes have a steroidal bang and seem anything but authentic. Now I have to say that I'm more of a fan of understatement when it comes to fragrances, simple, luxurious quality just catches me the most. So not really my cup of tea here.

Let's wait for the drydown, who knows what will develop here after this burnt synth pineapple thrown in your face...
Unfortunately not too much, the progression is quite linear for me, a blessing for some fragrances, here unfortunately not at all... it becomes a little lighter at most, the DNA remains... for me, two worlds collide here that are incompatible: Summery fruit, much too heavy, almost headache-inducing interpreted.... so neither at home in summer nor in winter. It's a shame, but now that Nishane is probably also available to sniff at KaDeWe, I'll probably form my own opinion of the fragrances there in the future.

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 Wrong expectation + herd behavior + influencer = rather negative evaluation I RETHINK!

First, let me say that I have been using the traditional Hacivat for years and know the fragrance DNA very well; also the surrounding themes like Creed Aventus over several batches/years. Why do I start with this comment? Well, from my point of view, extremely many reviews have been too strongly based on false expectations - what does the community expect in a flanker?

- Had the performance been pushed up with even more oakmoss and ambrox, comments would have fluttered in like "Hacivat has brought out an elixir, little innovation, who needs more performance, would have expected more"
- If you had completely changed the fragrance DNA, it would have become yes no anniversary version, but a new line hidden under well-running brands; even here I see many opinions already coming

You see, no matter what the niche houses do, we always find reasons to criticize what was done and everyone with their personal expectations or even worse; the personal-other-influencers-influenced opinion.

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

a) gives niche lovers enough "niche", but makes the fragrance more suitable for everyday use for Office etc

b) newcomers not the full edge oak moss gives; which is really challenging for many

On the fragrance itself, finally:
- I find that the Hacivat X is already similar to the forefather, the Hacivat . The additional bergamot takes out the already aggressive, rather pungent pineapple note in the Hacivat a little. The opening is in this respect not so "harsh", but far more round

- The drydown also seems to me more harmonious, rounder and a bit more floral. The big difference is that the base is now rather woody, slightly floral-fruity; the Hacivat balls here full edge oak moss and woods

- The H/S is really good, of course not as extreme as with the Hacivat, but we are talking about well above average projection and durability; do you really want to ball out 24h is the question. If you want to show that you have spent a bit of money and need the performance - well, then rather go for the Hacivat. But who is looking for a pleasant companion for everyday life, is very well served with the Hacivat X

- The price - well, at the beginning known high, much too high. I think the prices will adjust drastically once the fragrance is fully retail-ready, the ideal price point for the 100ML are in my view at 200-220.-

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

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

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.
