Nishane Hacivat
Bright pineapple over oakmoss and dry wood
Hacivat takes its name from a character of Turkish shadow theatre, and Nishane presents it as a tribute to elegance, kindness and a love of art. It is a chypre built on pineapple and bergamot, with woody notes behind them. The fruit sparkles at first, then the perfume settles into jasmine, patchouli and a dry, mossy base.

How it unfolds
-
Pineapple and bergamot
Pineapple and bergamot lead, with grapefruit adding a dry, slightly bitter edge. The fruit is juicy but not syrupy, because the citrus keeps pulling it towards crisp. This is the bright, sparkling character the brand describes for Hacivat, and it is the first thing you notice.
-
Jasmine, patchouli, cedar
In the middle, jasmine adds a soft floral warmth, patchouli an earthy and slightly dark depth, and cedarwood a clean, dry line through both. The fruit steps back here, and the structure of the chypre becomes easier to follow.
-
Moss and timber
The base combines clearwood, oakmoss and dry timberwood. Oakmoss supplies the green, damp forest-floor note that gives a chypre its backbone, and the two woods keep the finish airy and dry. It ends woody and mossy rather than sweet.
Wearing it
When, who and why
How to wear it
As an extrait, Hacivat is dense, so two or three sprays on the chest and wrists are plenty. The citrus-led opening suits daytime and mild or warm weather, and the dry woody base keeps it composed in a meeting room or at a dinner table. It reads as clean and green rather than sweet.
Who it is for
For people who like perfume that is fresh and structured instead of sweet: fruit and citrus for brightness, moss and wood for seriousness. It suits anyone who wants one polished scent for the office, for dinners and for warm-weather days, and who is comfortable with a mossy, woody finish.
Why choose Nishane Hacivat
Hacivat is part of Nishane's Shadow Play Trilogy, a set of perfumes drawn from traditional Turkish shadow theatre, and the brand launched it in 2017. Nishane was founded in Istanbul in 2012, and the bottle label names the city. This extrait keeps pineapple and bergamot at the centre of the idea.

The store’s selection is really good and comprehensive. Placing an order was very easy, and shipping was really fast. The fragrances were well packed and they were all excellent. I’m very satisfied. 👍💯👍
Very good quality profume, it last long and it has a good price for its incredible aroma and mixes of fruit and wood smell
A cozy, slightly sensual vanilla that feels like warm night air by the sea. Easy to love if you enjoy gourmand perfumes with a soft smoky edge.
This perfume is really well blended, I just removed a star because I personnaly don't like the top note (citronella)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Good cologne, love the citrus and ginger scent making it a playful combo while the tea base makes it a bit more mature. Great for the gym
FragranceGems is again really quick with their releases. I hope this one smells better than Too Damn Good. Already rating a 5 star because of previous experiences!!
Already pre-order. As always, FragranceGems is the first with good releases. Looking forward to my bottle!
The cap of the bottle came with a small part of it broken off and the glass pieces were in the box
