Essence & Concept
Hacivat by Nishane is a masterful, complex fragrance that channels the essence of sophistication, elegance, and depth. Created as part of the brand’s Extrait de Parfum collection, it offers a more concentrated and luxurious interpretation of the original Hacivat scent. With its fresh, citrusy opening, followed by rich woody and smoky layers, Hacivat Extrait is a fragrance that evolves beautifully over time. It is a celebration of the modern, confident man who appreciates both freshness and depth in a fragrance. Inspired by the traditional Turkish shadow play “Karagöz and Hacivat,” the scent evokes both lightness and mystery, combining citrus and woods in a harmonious balance that’s both bold and refined.
Note Structure
Top Notes: Grapefruit, Bergamot, Pineapple — The fragrance opens with an energetic, fresh burst of citrus. Grapefruit and bergamot bring brightness and zest, while pineapple adds a juicy, tropical sweetness that enhances the freshness. Together, these notes create an invigorating and uplifting start that immediately grabs attention.
Middle Notes: Jasmine, Cedarwood — The heart of Hacivat Extrait de Parfum is dominated by the crisp, aromatic quality of cedarwood, which provides a smooth, woody depth. Jasmine adds a touch of floral elegance, subtly softening the sharpness of the woods while introducing a refined, almost powdery sweetness.
Base Notes: Oakmoss, Patchouli, Amber — The base reveals the true complexity of Hacivat, with oakmoss and patchouli bringing an earthy, smoky richness to the fragrance. Amber introduces a soft warmth, while patchouli adds depth and a slightly woody, spicy element. Together, these base notes create a sophisticated and lasting finish.
Evolution & Experience
Hacivat opens with a lively, refreshing burst of citrus from grapefruit and bergamot, brightened further by the sweetness of pineapple. This initial freshness gives way to the heart, where the floral elegance of jasmine and the woodiness of cedarwood combine beautifully. The fragrance deepens as the oakmoss, patchouli, and amber make their presence felt, providing a smooth yet smoky base that lingers on the skin. The transition from the bright, fruity opening to the warm, earthy base is seamless, with each note unfolding naturally to reveal a refined and complex scent. The extrait concentration offers an intensified experience, ensuring that each stage of the fragrance is felt more deeply and longer-lasting.
