What Reddit owners say
5/5 ComplimentsSweetness“Only tried Hacivat, & Ani X love them both.”
3/5 ValueNight out“I have used them myself to buy 15ml decants and full sized bottles with my most recent purchase being a 50ml Nishane Hacivat X for $110.”
5/5“https://preview.redd.it/k469h2v6t4nh1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9a078666d304c1a9cc414fe4155a058071f92b0c Wearing my decant of Hacivat for the first time. At first, I thought it smelled a bit too earthy for my taste but I'm beginning to really enjoy it! It's warm out today and possible rain. Seemed to be a perfect time to wear this.”
4/5 SweetnessValue“Hacivat's quality is apparent off the rip.”
4/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“I may wear bolder ones like Hacivat or Absolu Aventus when it cools down, but still try to keep it fresh (and professional). I wore Carlisle to the office the other week (only three sprays), and I was getting tons of sweet vanilla off my skin in the dry down.”

5/5 SummerDate night“Currently i am using adv profondo and issey miyaki le sel d'issey this summer ! I love both of them! And i am loving hacivat also! Bought that this summer only ! 3-4sprays are more than enough! And if you love iris and whisky notes then go for reserve prive! Performance is not that bad! Intially string and i get 2hrs easily projection! Best for date night! I don't overspray any perfume! I wear fragrances for myself only!”
2/5 Synthetic / harsh“I have both Percival & Hacivat and agree with your reasoning. I got a synthetic pineapple note at times from Hacivat, replaced it with Absolute Aventus, smoother, darker better blended.”
4/5 Longevity“Have you found any fragrance with Aventus/Hacivat DNA with good performance and radiance/sillage? I own Hacivat but go noseblind to it in a few minutes. I read that Dumont Celerio Oros and Borouj Spiritus are smoother.”
4/5 Summer“Wulong cha is my ultimate summer frag. if I could only have one summer, it would be that. I tested Hacivat, I thought it was good! Too redundant for I already have, but good nonetheless. I reflected a bit more and "needing" to fulfill to bakers dozen felt silly haha. Time will tell...”
5/5“I have nishane hacivat which is nice but isn't identical to creed aventus so I haven't really gone much with the dupe side. I will say I do have 3 100ml bottles of aventus absolu (I know I have a problem) but I love that scent so much so I'll be fine for a little while lol”
5/5“Could also just do classic Aventus instead, OR if you wanna really stand out get Nishane Hacivat to replace CDNIM. I LOVE my bottle of Hacivat.”
4/5“My colleagues always have great things to say about how I smell when I wear: Bois Imperial, Noir Extreme Parfum, Naxos, and Hacivat. On the flip side, I was asked to never wear Accento again, haha.”
4/5“I think nishane is a good house hacivat is a nice well rounded fragrance same with Vilhelm though I'm not a fan of poets or morning chess as I am some of their others. I own FB's of Body Paint, Smoke Show and Dirty Velvet.”
5/5 Summer“Bro if you want a summer style hacivat check out Barreys byzantine. It's incredible. It's an extrait de parfum too and i get over 8 hours of Performance. I used to think i disliked hacivat DNA until I tried byzantine lol”
3/5“This is one of my favorite Hacivat and Absolu Aventus dupes I have ever tried (and I have tried over 20 of that genre and over 50 direct aventus clones). I actually dislike the real Hacivat and like this one. I don't think the guy is shilling.”
4/5 LongevitySynthetic / harsh“It shares a similar DNA with Hacivat by Nishane, which I also own.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Hacivat, no comparison. I own Hawas Black and it reminds me of a musty basement in the drydown.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Winter“—Nishane Hacivat (MAYBE). This one pains me to say, as I wore it almost daily last winter.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I'm trying to keep my collection to 100 bottles and I have Aventus, Hacivat, and Pineapple Vintage. Nothing wrong with dupes.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Summer“For Summer I wear PDM Percival, Dior Homme sport & Nishane Hacivat. Im based in the Uk I can count on one hand the number of hot days we get each year so a majority of my collection revolves around cooler weather scents.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have these nukes Megamere, Bergamusk, Outlands, Purpose 50, Interlude (both versions), Beach Hut Man, Oud Maracuja, Hacivat but FM - The Moon was the only one that went beyond nuclear. One spray and my wife told me to leave the house 5hrs later because it was fuckin too much!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Value“I have backup bottles of Hacivat, Bal d' Afrique, Gris Charnel, BDC EDT & EDP, Orpheon, and a couple of others. I don't have to worry for years about price increases outpacing inflation or shortlisting of my daily use perfumes.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Office“I wear aventus absolu, GIT, reflection edp, blonde amber, naxos, mfk grand soir, guerlain honey tobacco, nishane hacivat and pdm herrod to work... in an office/shop full of other blue collar men.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“interesting, I own both and never thought they smell similar. Hawas Black reminds me of Nishane Hacivat more then anything.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“It s funny cause when I spray Hacivat I feel the other way...First 20 minutes smells earthy musky with a weird pineapple note and for the next 9-10 hours smells citrusy with a bit of wood notes.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I use 2-3 sprays for stronger stuff like Hacivat and Royal Tobacco.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have Hacivat but for that DNA I prefer ATH Supernova.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Fresh & clean“Fresh/Masculine/Clean: Parfums de Marly Percival\* (I prefer this far more than Bleu de Chanel), YSL Myslf EDP, YSL Myslf Absolu (both Myslf bottles get me the most compliments in my collection), Sospiro Vibrato, Nishane Hacivat, Xerjoff Torino 21”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have Nishane Ani X and Wu Long Cha X and a couple of decants of Hacivat and Ani but I have not actually tried any other fragrances by Nishane! I will have to order a decant of it and compare them, maybe the Nishane is a nicer version of this!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) SweetnessFresh & clean“I've tested hacivat with my girlfriend she can't smell it much after a couple hours especially if its hot. But idk maybe I got a weird decant but I didn't get much if any green tea from wu long cha, I was expecting like a light earthy and clean tea scent but to me it smelled sweet and floral, and a little too perfumey for my preferences. I was expecting something earthier.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Try Moudon Temptation. It smells almost identical to Hacivat. I have both.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) WinterFall“When it cools off (probably not until late October down here), I'll go back to using Hacivat as my daily driver, along with rotating between some of my other fall/winter scents like Carlisle, Tobacco Vanille, Naxos, and Royal Tobacco.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have this and Hacivat X and reach for HX way more often.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I mean for Aventus and Absolu, but then I have snoi and sce, but also cdnimLE and cdn precioux, but also Hacivat, and Qaed Al Fursan and Paris Corner Nouf.”
