Hacivaz

Dead ringer for Nishane Hacivat. 100$ for 100ml can't beat it Alexandria does an excellent job with their clones. The 100 ml bottles are very well made too if you care about that. Heavy, metal cap, pressurized atomizer, heavy glass. These fragrance you must macerate for one week prime the bottle by spraying it and leave the cap off to let it airate. They get better with time. They also include samples of their newest fragrances with every purchase too.

I tried ~ 70 AF samples and this one is on the top 10. Smoky, pineapple, fresh and masculine. the smoke reminds me of Dior Homme 2020. I have a sample of Hacivat Nishane but I like this one more than the OG. I've tried perfume parlour version it's meh compared to this.

I let this mascerate after 5 days. First spray on the day I recieved it, second spray on monday. The top accords definitely remind me of herbs like smelling fresh rosemary in a garden.The white floral accord really changes that herb scent into something like chamomille. Sweating it off really reduces the longevity, will try over spraying. The top notes and base notes could be stronger in my opinion to make the tropical and sweet accord stand out. But my skin chemistry tends to nose blind me I think. Update: as of 1/5/25 months since I purchased it, September 2024, the pineapple note is much sweeter now and the earthy accord is less mossy. The herbal rosemary smell is smoothed out to a real mature and sweet tropical fragrance in the winter. I once said Montblanc Explorer does it better but they are relateable, not identical. 11/30/25 It matured really well. That green herbal smell is not as loud and the sweet, pineapple and citrus smell is much smoother. Smells great on my skin and drys down sweet. I get lots of compliments. Well done alternative to Hacivat. Grrat things happen with AF

More of an adaptation that a clone—it’s smoothed out with less prominent moss note to my nose. And less strong than the original. Both changes make it more wearable. I think Hacivat is too beast mode to wear to work or school. If I had to describe this one’s opening, I’d call it an sweet (ambery) citrus with a pineapple overtone in contrast to the original, which smells like fresh cut pineapple with a green and sour citrus edge. And the dry down is more vanillic than the original. Like a bit of Ani is mixed in. There is still some herbal greenness but it’s not the punchy moss note of Hacivat. Overall I like the scent (don’t love it) and find it a good inspiration rather than a true clone. And I think many will find this better than the OG as many people like smoother and sweeter balance to their fresh scents.

Dominant patchouli with oakmoss and jasmine With shyly appearance of smokey pineapple Then dries down to musky fruity pineapple with patchouli and oakmoss

I bought a 30ML bottle of Hacivaz, let it macerate for a month. It smells nothing like Hacivat. I was so disappointed. I have a decant of the OG, and this. Smelled it side by side. Very disappointed. As a standalone scent, might be good. But if you're looking for a real clone, this won't cut it. I went and bought Rasasi Hawas black, and that one is 95% close to the OG. Skip this, buy Rasasi Hawas Black.

I’ve never smelt the real Hacivat, however, I much prefer the perfume parlour clone as it’s way more pineapple-y and fresh. If this is close to how Hacivat smells then it just smells off to me

I haven’t had the chance to sample Hacivat but through AF’s dupe I do get the comparisons to Aventus that get bandied around, though this is fresher, lighter and dare I say, younger. Put simply, it’s a great fragrance, superbly composed and thoroughly enjoyable to wear. Very adaptable too, I’d say it would suit both formal and casual occasions for spring, summer and fall. Performance is powerful too. Like others have said about Hacivat, I think I might prefer Hacivaz to both Brasilia and Aventus.

This was the first Alexandria fragrance that I received and I absolutely hate it, the opening smells nothing like Nishane hacivat, idk how to explain it but it almost smells like what I would think "bad" perfume would smell like after it expired or wasn't stored properly. I was super excited for this one so I could replace hacivat and save some money but I can't with this one!

Reminds me of Brasilia prive..
