Same ballpark as Hacivat
While Hawas Black is too bitter from the overpowering oakmoss, this one is the best Hacivat alternative on the market. Projection is a tad stronger than the OG on the new batch, but for the longevity the OG still wins, not by significant margin tho. For the price, i'd spray it generously and don't mind bring a decant everywhere.
Best Tygar's alt for the performance
I had high expectation for this since Gissah is famous for their insane performance so i thought i'd find the best Tygar's alt with great performance, but this is such a let down. The performance is nothing to write home about. The longevity is above average, but not that great, and the S & P is so light and airy, makes it hard to notice it after 1h passed.
Edit:
Turned out i went nose blind with this. Ambroxan is not listed on it, but i feel like this is an ambroxan bomb. People could smell me even after 5h passed. Also after my nose got used to it, i could still get a ghost whiff after i took shower after 8-5 working hour. The only cons, now my nose could detect 1 note (which i don't know what is it) that Gissah uses in all of their creations, and unfortunately that note irritated me.

UAE batch > France batch
I had the France batch months ago, it was weak and turned to skin scent in 1h even after 1 month of maturation. Today i bought UAE batch with 8/2024 production date, and it performs much better. I sprayed it on my arm at 4pm and now it's 10:35pm and i still can detect the projection faintly without bringing my nose to the skin. Im pretty sure with maturation it will have some improvements, either slightly or a lot. So far im satisfied with my purchase.
Not a common freshie
As the tittle, this one is a great freshie, i really love the scent. However, the performance is a big let down. It has 58% oil concentration, and the projection is nowhere to be found. I know with higher oil the projection becomes more subtle, but this and Kaaf almost have the same oil concentration, and Kaaf still projecting like crazy for a whole day, while with Sage i have to bring my nose to my skin to smell it after 10 mins or so.
About the longevity, even tho it has high oil, but the scent doesnt last that long and its so subtle. This frag is kinda weird, remembering most of their frags have above average performance, and even tho the rest is on average level, but they still perform much better than this. Such a shame this one is a big fail.
P.S. I live in a hot climate country where every day is between 30-36C, so the environment shouldnt be a problem for high oil concentration frag.

A strong performer
I have Kaaf and this one, while Kaaf smells calming, Muzn smells uplifting and sophisticated. Overall i like Muzn more than Kaaf, bc the salty aquatic DNA on Kaaf is more generic and overused.
Muzn is a fruity creamy frag, the scent is unisex but leans to feminine, but that doesnt stop me to wear it, im comfortable enough with my testosterone level to wear this. Its sweet, but fruity sweet, so as long as u limit the spray for a hot weather, it will work like a charm.
During the initial spray u will get overwhelmed by the fruity scent, some kind of berry smell, but I cant detect tbe sea salt note however. Then after a few mins this is the part where this frag starts to shine when the creaminess appears. It smells clean and creamy like ure taking a milk bath and shampooing ur hair. However, its not a lactonic scent type. In the late drydown, thats where i can smell the ambery musk on my skin. Its subtle, but its there, so dont expecr this to be a strong ambery frag.
Performance wise, this one is much stronger than Kaaf in the projection, even straight outta the box Muzn already stupidly strong, unlike my Kaaf that needs to sit for a while. Kaaf has soft type scent, while this has in ur face type scent. About the longevity, both are on par. I still could smell Muzn on my skin after took a shower and 12h passed. Well looking at the 50% oil concentration its no wonder that this lasts 8h+ easily.
Overall this is another banger from the house. If ure a man and u dont have a prob with sweet fruity scent, then this is for u, but if not, just go with Kaaf, its more masculine in every way.
