Hacivat & Ani Set

Well blended scent of fruity flowery goodness. The sandalwood, vetiver and orris ground this, making it subtly elevated, but also as a draw back it doesn't create a very distinct impression. It's a bit modest, a bit careful, stays the same depth and doesn't really give you that ride of opening, middle and end. I think people who don't want their scent to dominate or polarize will enjoy this, as it is very beautifully crafted, lovely warm fruit.

Gave this as a gift to someone special, smelled it at the store and loved it, I don't get the black opium resemblance personally but that's probably because I associate Black Opium with that distinctive coffee note, which HSW lacks, amazing floral and creamy perfume though could be worn by guys too, try it.

I received this as a gift from my fiancé and honestly forgot I owned it until recently. I decided to test it as my perfume for a day and wow… I don’t know how I left this sitting for so long. It’s a beautiful fragrance. Definitely floral-forward with a sweet, structured base, that is absolutely feminine and mass appealing. It’s not a complex fragrance, but it doesn’t need to be. The longevity and projection are both moderate-to-strong, and a little goes a long way.

Hundred Silent Ways turned out to be one of those fall and winter perfumes I had been looking for for a long time. The first time I smelled it, I honestly thought, how did I miss this and why didn’t I try it sooner? I had been looking for something feminine, very floral, slightly sweet and vanilla based, but also strong and full bodied. Memo Marfa has been one of my favorites for colder weather, but sometimes I wanted something a little more feminine, more sensual and sexier. Hundred Silent Ways filled that gap perfectly. It feels like it comes from a similar world as Marfa, but the femininity here feels warmer, brighter and more seductive. The florals come through in layers, while the vanilla feels creamy, warm and lively. The juicy peach and mandarin also give it energy and add more depth to the sweetness.

I have a decant of this and also an inspired by version I have to get the full bottle when I say this is heaven in a bottle. I had this on to get some stuff done to my truck and this lady said oh My God what do you have on you smell delicious. I could get whiffs but she wanted to write it down and wanted to know where it came from. It’s definitely a compliment getter I love it.
