Pineapple, lime and Haitian vetiver
Hacivat X is the X Collection's new interpretation of an earlier Nishane chypre. It keeps the structure of pineapple, bergamot and woods, adds pink pepper on top, and gives the heart to lime, jasmine and orange flower. Patchouli, cedarwood heart and Haitian vetiver form the base, so the perfume ends dry and lean.

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...
The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Pineapple and bergamot are joined by pink pepper, whose light, dry spice cuts across the juice of the fruit. The opening is sparkling and slightly peppery, with the citrus doing most of the lifting. It is a quick, bright start, not a sweet one.
At the heart, lime gives a sharp, zesty green edge, jasmine a warm floral body and orange flower a soft, honeyed sweetness. It is a bright, white-floral middle with a citrus bite, and it carries the freshness of the pineapple a little further down.
Patchouli brings earthy depth, the cedarwood heart a clean woody backbone, and Haitian vetiver a dry, smoky-green root note. This base is lean and woody and gives the chypre its structure, with no sweet or creamy layer on top of it.
Wearing it
Hacivat X is a daytime extrait. The lime and pink pepper keep it lively in warm weather, while the vetiver and patchouli give it enough body for the evening. Two sprays on the chest and one on each wrist are usually enough.
For people who like perfumes with a clear structure: citrus and fruit up top, white flowers in the middle, dry roots and woods below. It is a good fit for office days, warm-weather dinners and anyone who prefers a green, peppery freshness to sweetness.
Nishane made the X Collection to rework earlier perfumes, and Hacivat X is its take on a chypre built on pineapple, bergamot and woods. The brand hopes that fans of the earlier perfume will make it a new favourite, and for anyone new to the house it also reads as a self-contained pineapple chypre.
Questions
Extrait de Parfum. That means a concentrated, close-to-the-skin scent, and the citrus top is lively all the same.
Bergamot, pineapple and pink pepper on top; lime, jasmine and orange flower in the heart; patchouli, cedarwood heart and Haitian vetiver in the base.
Yes. The brand describes it as keeping the chypre structure: citrus and fruit above, flowers in the middle, woods below.
This listing is the 100 ml size, in Nishane's square glass flacon with a gold cap. The large X printed across the front is the brand's own artwork.
The house
Nishane is an Istanbul house founded in 2012 by Mert Güzel and Murat Katran. Almost every perfume is an Extrait de Parfum in a square glass flacon with a gold cap, and the label carries a city name. The stories draw on Rumi's poetry, Turkish shadow theatre and an Anatolian folk song.

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
