Niche Emarati Al Dana

Let’s be real this one is basically 99% Hacivat. It’s an amazing scent, and I’m here for it. Honestly, if you’ve sniffed Hacivat and Hawas Black, you’re basically smelling the same thing, just in different bottles. The big difference? Hawas Black sticks around like that one friend who never leaves the party. This one? It’s good, but you’ll need to let it sit on the shelf for a bit before it starts projecting and lasting like it’s supposed to. If we’re talking performance, Hawas Black wins hands down. Still, this one’s a solid pick if you’re not looking for a marathon scent. Scent: 8/10 (Really nice, but we've all smelled it) Performance: 7/10 (Give it time, it'll do its thing) Overall: 7.5/10 (Good, but Hawas Black has my heart.)

"HACIVAT DE LATTAFA" For those who know Hacivat Nishane, this is undoubtedly the most similar that exists. For those who do not know, imagine a less citrus CDNI with oak moss very present. The opening is a little more citrus than the Turkish perfume, the bergamot that is little talked about in Hacivat but is there, also shines here. After a few minutes the moss begins to predominate with a smoky touch to the exact extent. Fixation is very good, average of 10h with high projection for about 2...2:30h. The quality is very high, worth every real invested. 10/10 🤌🏻

Not sure if people writing this does not last are trolls or just Lattafa haters. This stuff is amazing. You can find the difference between this and Hacivat only in the opening - first 5-10 minutes. After that there is no chance that someone can spot in the air that this isn't Hacivat. It will project like a beast and 3-5 spray's will be enough for 10-12 hours! 99% similarity in the air. If you are looking for a great Hacivat clone to not waste your OG for daily use, you don't need to look further. Just buy this. Scent: 10/10 Projection: 10/10 Longevity: 11/10

This was a blind buy for me. As soon as it arrived I was amazed by the presentation and the packaging. They also did an incredible job with the bottle. However, when i first tried it i didn't like it at all, i couldn't smell it for more than a minute. For that reason i left it without the cap for about 3 months in my drawer. After all this time the perfume has matured so much and the smell is intoxicating. I can't explain it but now it smells so complex and sophisticated, plus it gives so many compliments. Definitely recommend it.

I'm really looking to pick this up when it enters my country. While people rush for Hawas black and SNOI(which isn't even a dupe), this goes under the radar. Also, I got Khadlaj Valor Chivalry recently and I'm not impressed with the performance. I hope this one delivers because I've never had a bad experience with niche emarati from Lattafa. Their blending and oil quality is usually top notch. Another brand/sub-brand that comes close to that type of quality(or even better) is Arabiyat Prestige.

Like a fresh lime-lemonade with peppercorns in a sunny, slightly mossy coniferous forest. I like this a lot, sometime I crave this fragrance and I gotta have a sniff of the bottle. According to some people who smelled Hacivat before (I did not) this is really close to the original. Longevity is up to 12h, projection is strong in the first hour, moderate for about another 5 and then it's more of a skin scent.

This fragrance smells like a rain forest. It has this wet soil vibe. There’s fruits in the opening but that is gone quick. And then it lingers with this moss like musk. I’m not sure if this smells like hacivat yet but it’s good. The best way I could describe this is the smell of cut grass. Not your typical fresh fragrance. Longevity and sillage is ok nothing crazy.

after buying the 20ml pre maceration id say its close to hacivat by 80-85% the difference is this one on the dry down it smells like it has autumn leaves with a touch of rain water on it having a sweet scent coming from the leaf its a good perfume imo. If you are not sure just buy the 20ml version. its 14$ on their website. Ill update post maceration.

This is honestly 95% Hacivat. Sprayed Al Dana on my left wrist and Hacivat on my right, I had some people prefer Al Dana. The fatal flaw is the performance. This stuff does not last! It's a shame. I'll stick with Hawas Black.

Great fragrance, Hacivat is there at 85%, In my opinion, it is suitable for every year. I had many compliments. I recommend buying blind. For this price, it is amazing and worth trying.

Didn't like it when i blind bought it, smelled so simple and regretted it. A year or so later and it's amazing. Juicy and delicious smelling. Love.

Well done 👍 lattafa, if you Love 💕 nishane hacivat go grab a bottle of this and thank me later

Is this lattafa or nishane??? Smells 90% close to hacivat by being only 50€, unbelievable...

Lattafa does not stop surprise us with the niche Emirati line quality. This is a high-quality fragrance, with eternal performance, the bottle is another type of glass&metall art, heavy and divine. The first impression and 10 min later of this spray are very different. At first, it gives some pine vibe because of mint, bergamot, and patchouli. Then more woody notes appear and smoky intense and frankincense comes. It is a very good, very strong, mature masculine fragrance, It may give a headache for some. For this price, it is amazing and worth trying.

Eh, maybe my bottle needs to sit or something, but I'm leaning towards Hawas Black as the better of the two in terms of replicating Hacivat. This becomes pretty unnoticeable fairly quickly, while Hawas Black sticks with you for a good while. To my nose, this is 80% - 85% Hacivat, while Hawas Black is ~90%+. YMMV. If the fragrance changes in a few weeks or months, I'll update my review.

I get similitudes in the opening with al haramain l'aventure, then it turns into its own thing. Im not a huge patchouli enthusiast so its not my type but it is all in all a well crafted fragrance with fresh lime and jasmine that are prominent to my nose. I would advise not to blind buy, get yourself a decant before.

The dry down does remind me of hacivat, I'd say it's pretty close. However the top notes are quite different and very spicy. The pepper mixed with something I can't quite distinguish almost gives me liquorice associations.

First impressions: Really disapoointed with this one. Way weaker and lower quality than I expected. I feel like it didn't fully macerate because at first glance I feel mostly alcohol and the notes only start to "appear" almost 1 minute after applying it. I know, its something common in lattafa fragrances to not be fully macerated, BUT this one belongs to the brands niche colletion, where lattafa promises to deliver a at least close-to-niche experience for half the price (but still costing 2x the average prices of their fragrances) Shouldn't they deliver something far more well-rounded considering the price-point (50-55€)? Yes, its similar to nishance Hacivat and even Creed. Sharp citrus, smoky with a green, slightly woody side that together resemble a mossy feeling as well. The smell itself is good, but its just noticeble the fragrance is weak and feels really low-quality I hope it macerates, but I still think it should have come already fully macerated because I paid 50€ for this one, not like 25/30 like the ones from their "average" lines. For now, I will give it a 5,5/10

I Had high hopes for lattafa Al Dana was hoping it smelled like nishane hacivat and not like supremacy not only intense well I was very disappointed because it smells like supremacy not only intense which also smells nothing like nishane hacivat it's really annoying seeing people compare these fragrances to nishane hacivat when in fact they just smell like smokey toilet cleaner products I would not recommend blind buying al Dana and it does not smell like nishane hacivat or creed aventus it's just lemon smokey toilet cleaner sold as a fragrance and the top of the bottle has started coming off its like lattafa has focused more on the box and the bottle rather than the actual fragrance and the bottle is just tacky anyhow

Tried Hacivat before, this is nowhere near. The bottle is out of fashion, the finish quality is poor that gives a hint about the fragrance itself too. I smelled nothing but citrus, was too shallow that macerating will probably not help either. And it’s pricey too. Initial vote is a no buy, big disappointment.
