Nishane Hacivat Oud Extrait de Parfum

Introduction

Nishane Hacivat Oud is the Extrait de Parfum interpretation of the house's much-loved Hacivat, reimagined with greater depth and a pronounced oud signature. Part of Nishane's Prestige Collection and developed with master perfumer Dominique Ropion, it pairs the original's radiant fruity-woody opening with a darker, more resinous heart and base. The result is a refined, grown-up composition that feels both luminous and profound, ideal for those seeking a niche fragrance with genuine presence.

Fragrance Journey

Top Notes: Pineapple, Citruses, Black Pepper and Pink Pepper

Heart Notes: Frankincense, Olibanum and Jasmine

Base Notes: Oud, Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver and Vanilla

The fragrance opens bright and juicy, with sparkling pineapple and citrus lifted by peppery warmth. As it develops, smoky frankincense and olibanum introduce an incense-like richness softened by a touch of jasmine. The drydown is where the extrait truly distinguishes itself, with resinous oud, earthy patchouli and vetiver grounded by a gentle thread of vanilla.

Performance

As an Extrait de Parfum, Hacivat Oud offers excellent longevity, comfortably lasting well into the day or evening on skin and leaving a lingering trace on clothing. Projection is strong in the opening hours before settling closer to the skin. Sillage is confident without being overwhelming when applied with care. It leans towards cooler weather, autumn and winter abroad, and suits evening wear particularly well, though it remains versatile enough for daytime in moderate conditions. Its mature, unisex character appeals most to those in their late twenties and above.

Best Occasions

This is a fragrance for moments that call for distinction: formal dinners, celebrations, business engagements and evenings out. Its incense and oud character also make it a fitting choice for colder-weather travel and occasions where a memorable, refined signature is welcome.

Nigerian Climate Advice

In Nigeria's heat, the oud and incense base can feel potent, so a light hand is wise during hot afternoons: one or two sprays will carry well without becoming heavy. Air-conditioned offices, restaurants and evening settings are where this extrait shines, allowing its resinous depth to unfold beautifully. During the rainy season and the cooler, drier harmattan, you can apply a little more generously, as the richer notes hold up gracefully in lower temperatures. For midday wear, favour pulse points over broad application to keep the experience elegant rather than overpowering.
