Better than Aventus? Nishane Hacivat Fragrance Review

Is Nishane Hacivat better than Aventus? I've heard these two fragrances being compared to one another so I thought I'd investigate the claims. Does Hacivat copy that magical Aventus DNA or is it doing its own thing?
Since filming this I've discovered it's available at Fragrance Samples UK

Own both aventus creed and this one.. completely agree, chanel blue, sauvage and creed are all becoming very popular now, this did not disappoint.

Great review Chris, I agree with you, it's not Aventus just maybe the opening. This has way better projection and longevity and I like it way better. Have a great Sunday!✌

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Always appreciate your input Tim. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@hasib1625]

Got a decant of this Friday and it’s a beauty. Enjoying it so far. I’d say it’s a bit different than Aventus. Just 2 sprays from the 5ml atomizer lasted all day. Hope to own a bottle one day and try all their fragrances. Pretty strong stuff. Enjoy the review ✌🏻

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes different and stronger!

[@Tommelise]

I definitely prefer Hacivant over Aventus because it is brighter thanks to juicy ctrusy pineapple

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Hey Yana, Yeah I agree, it stays brighter as it dries whereas Aventus gets smokier. Thanks for your input👍🏻

[@onurrrgultekin]

Add 70% aventus 30% hacivate to an empty bottle, shake for 5 minutes every 2-3 days, let it rest for about 3 - 6 months, the resulting “haciventus” smell is excellent.Both the beauty of the smell and the permanence of the silage will be legendary.⚡️🔥

Great review! I once layered this with CDNIM edt, not sure which perfume was kicking the other in the ass but it gave me lots of compliments.

Awesome review 👏🏼 Its so weird usually patchouli and oakmoss (anything chypre) doesnt smell too good on my skin but this is such a masterpiece and did so well on me! First sniff didnt impress me much bit but heart notes and dry down blew me away!! ❤️ first absolute love for me after smelling hundreds of scents!

[@StevenWillox]

Love your take on Hacivat! Just got a 5ml decant off a member on a Facebook group and when I wore it I made the “mistake” of putting on the same 4 sprays as I do with Aventus.....it filled half my house to the point someone said “Jesus how much aftershave have you got on?!” 😂. It’s a beast! And comparing it to Aventus prices nowadays there’s not much in it considering the extra performance in my opinion

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Yes it certainly is pretty strong in the performance department!

[@UnknownChap]

I've not tried this but I own two aventus bottles from 2011&2013 , I think it's nice but far from my favourite. Big fan of Nishane in general , I own 4 from them. Hundred silent ways / fan your flames / afrikan olifant & spice bazar. Highly recommended any & all of them.

I have 2020 Aventus and to be honest it smells very similar to Mont Blanc explore and not worth the money anymore . Nishane Hacivat is a powerhouse , only 2-3 sprays max so a 100ml bottle will last a very long time . Also the silage on Hacivat is amazing and justifies the cost .

It's a very nice perfume. I got the 50 mL bottle for $100 yesterday. But there is something they forgot to mention. It smells heavily of lemongrass in the opening.

[@aromafromheaven]

Totally agree

[@dr.fragrance3185]

Need to get my nose on this house. They sound interesting. I wouldn't be surprised if it's better than modern aventus and it's actually pretty close to the same price you pay with Creed. So it's really up to your nose to decide :) Nice video.

[@CaliReviews]

Been hearing good things about this one

[@ejones9924]

I use one spray hacivat on neck, one spray roja elysium on other side, one spray aventus back of neck. I smelled like fruity pebbles dippped in pineapple juice.

[@FRAGMENTAL]

Good combo!

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

Creed Aventus -- for those who want to smell like everyone else. Lol. I hear someone say Aventus-like, Aventus-clone, or better than Aventus and I run in the other direction. I bought one bottle of Creed Aventus several years ago and by the time I finished it off it became clear to me that the fragrance was a victim of its own popularity and I decided not to buy another bottle. It's a nice smelling fragrance for what it is, but it's become far too ordinary and pedestrian for me.

[@Mr.Plutonium]

It's close to impossible to find someone wearing Aventus. It has never happened to me and 99% of people say the same. Maybe if you live in a big city like in NY. Keep in mind that the best batches are becoming VERY VERY rare. I have 2019 batch bottles and my 2015's and 2017's will blow these out of the water zero competition. These bottles are starting to go for $800 < and there's no chance the general public has access to these anymore.

[@beefbroth6539]

A great energy to this vid, you were bouncing 😆 lol.Personally I’m tired of the word “Aventus” and everything that goes with it but I certainly understand that loads of people live and die by it.This certainly seems with the twist that it has ,that it holds some appeal and interest and the brand is definitely picking up momentum in terms of being talked about in a positive way.Might I suggest you delve into making your own perfume and start a fragmental line now that’s something that would certainly be something to behold (no pineapple though lol) good job matey 👍👍

[@eightsix73]

One thing I didn’t hear mentioned was how wrong this is. It projects and it sticks around. Two sprays and your likely done for the day. I would not suggest applying it in an office setting either. So for me the value is in your not having to put multiple sprays on multiple times a day. I tend to spray liberally but not with this

[@WSF176]

I asked Dan to think about a split so those of us interested can try it out.

[@Layput]

I have the 2013 aventus and they smell differently. The Aventus is more manly and Hacivat leans more on unisex or about 55% female. It smells heavenly, don't get me wrong. But as a man, you will regret buying it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[@AbdulAzizAlkendi]

Aventus only for real man not a young boy

[@sergemunitz1153]

I feel like Hacivat is a trimmed (rarefied) version of Aventus with slightly higher concentration: it's nothing new, does not have Aventus's complex development and remind me more of Pineapple Vintage then Aventus really (with better quality, I suppose than Parfums Vintage). I do prefer Aventus (my 2016 batch is better than this one to me personally) but I can see how some people wanting something less complex and longer lasting can choose this one over the Creed :(

[@iaido01]

2010,2015,2016 aventus is very good. Rest is extreme shit for the price

[@TheAlbert12397]

I just received my sample from Fragrance Samples. To be honest I was disappointed with Hacivat. Yes it performs like a beast but to me it had a strong menthol note. I smelt a similar note in PDM Layton and didn't like that either.

[@MultiBloxx]

Threw mine in the bin smells lemon floor cleaner on the opening club nuit intense is cheaper get the same opening but much closer to aventus don't waste your money on this Turkish floor cleaner. Just my opinion guys OK. That's allowed right

[@paris.enigma]

Chris where in the U.K. or EU can you pick this up? Its really hard to get. I found one place but at £270 is just madness. I’ve seen American KZbinrs say don’t pay more than £150. That’s pretty impossible over here.

This is not a clone. In the video I state that it takes a different route. I don't believe the intention of Nishane is to mimic Aventus.

The output on my channel represents all these categories.

Joe this isn't a clone or dupe by any means. The only similarity is the prominent pineapple which is where inevitable comparisons stem from. Other than that it's not Aventus DNA and is doing it's own thing. Similar genre but certainly not a copy.
