Introducing Hacivat by Nishane, a captivating Chypre fragrance designed for both women and men, unveiling a timeless olfactory experience that transcends traditional boundaries. Launched in 2017 and crafted by the talented nose Jorge Lee, Hacivat is a sophisticated blend that harmonizes the art of perfumery with the inspiration drawn from the age-old Turkish shadow play.

The top notes of Pineapple, Grapefruit, and Bergamot create an invigorating opening, setting the stage for a fragrant journey that unfolds with middle notes of Cedar, Patchouli, and Jasmine. As the scent evolves, the base notes of Oakmoss and Woody Notes anchor the fragrance, leaving a lasting and memorable impression.

Part of the “SHADOW PLAY” collection, Hacivat draws inspiration from the traditional Turkish shadow play, also known as shadow puppetry—an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment. The collection pays homage to the iconic characters of Karagoz and Hacivat, central figures in these shadow plays, popularized during the Ottoman period.

Creative directors Mert Güzel and Murat Katran, envisioning a bridge between tradition and modernity, collaborated with perfumer Jorge Lee to bring the legend of Karagoz & Hacivat into contemporary times. Much like the dynamic interplay of characters in shadow plays, Nishane aims to highlight the contrasting interactions within diverse cultures.

Hacivat is more than just a fragrance; it’s a tribute to elegance, competence, and a deep love for art. As you embrace the scent, you become a part of a legacy that transcends time and culture. Join the enchanting world of Hacivat, where every note tells a story, and every spritz is a celebration of the rich heritage that inspired its creation.
