Hacivat

Males, get ready to make way because there's a new macho in town and you're going to adore it. Hacivat evokes the oakmoss-laden splendor of woody chypres like Pour Monsieur that formerly populated men's perfumery with acidic, sparkling citrus layered atop a backbone crisp with forest woods, oakmoss, and white jasmine. Hacivat feels utterly current yet having firmly traditional lines. A juicy pineapple note aerates the wet mosses and forests, and a hint of blackcurrant leaf keeps the tone fresh and outdoorsy.

Not to worry about that pineapple note. The pineapple note is so expertly done here—rich and natural-smelling rather than sporty or cheap—that it restores the fruit's tarnished reputation. Hacivat is as light on the skin as a summertime white linen shirt. It is understated, professional, and immaculate, but has just the right amount of bitter moss and woods for gravity. Hacivat is a rare, classically-designed woody chypre with a modern twist that just smells amazing and makes other people think you smell amazing too. Save this smell if you enjoy a contemporary classic.

Hacivat notes: Bergamot, pineapple, grapefruit, jasmine, patchouli, cedar, woody notes, oakmoss.
