Hacivat
Extrait de parfum
A bright, fruity chypre named after a hero of Turkish shadow theatre.
Hacivat borrows its name from one of the two characters of the Karagöz and Hacivat shadow theatre. The opening is dazzling: bergamot, pineapple and grapefruit, juicy and sparkling.
The heart, of jasmine, patchouli and cedar, leads to a modernised chypre base, where oakmoss sits alongside pale, dry woods. A crisp, energetic fruity chypre for the day.

Hacivat in detail
Nishane is the perfumery of Istanbul, and its creations like to tell stories drawn from Turkish culture. Hacivat takes its name from one of the two heroes of the Karagöz and Hacivat shadow theatre, the more learned and refined of the pair. The house presents it as an extrait, its most concentrated form.
Its official pyramid follows the structure of a chypre, revisited with fruit. At the top, bergamot, pineapple and grapefruit are juicy and bright. The heart pairs jasmine, patchouli and cedarwood. The base gathers oakmoss, the historic signature of chypres, Clearwood, a woody material produced through biotechnology, and dry, luminous woody amber notes.
Energetic and crisp, Hacivat is easy to wear by day in spring and summer: at the office, while travelling, on a busy day.
Three chypres in our catalogue share its framework: Diaghilev by Roja Parfums brings together bergamot, jasmine, patchouli, oakmoss and cedarwood; Chypress by Floris takes up bergamot, jasmine and patchouli; Rose Hubris by Ex Nihilo pairs patchouli and oakmoss around a rose.
