Alexandria Fragrances Hacivaz is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019. Hacivaz opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Woody Notes, Cedar, and Oakmoss, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Jasmine. Alexandria Fragrances's Hacivaz carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Hacivaz is a divisive one, a clear love-it-or-hate-it take on its inspiration. Some reckon it's a dead ringer, others feel it misses the mark entirely. Don't expect an exact clone, but a smoother, fruitier adaptation that often wins over those who find the original a bit much.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opening with a juicy burst of pineapple, grapefruit, and bergamot, Hacivaz settles into a sophisticated woody heart. Earthy oakmoss and robust cedar provide a grounding counterpoint to the initial fruity freshness. As it dries down, a smoky warmth emerges, mingling with a hint of sweet jasmine and a prominent patchouli base that lends depth and a touch of the exotic. It's a journey from zesty brightness to a refined, woody earthiness.
