Carved Oud is highly regarded as an excellent performer with strong longevity and sillage, and a better value alternative to Tom Ford Oud Wood. However, multiple users report that newer batches (post-2021/2022 reformulation due to banned ingredient restrictions) differ noticeably from original samples, featuring more prominent talcum notes and less spice complexity, which has caused some disappointment among those familiar with earlier versions.

Hacivat is a divisive fragrance with strong performance and a sophisticated drydown, but its polarizing scent profile means it either resonates deeply with wearers or disappoints them. The opening pineapple-citrus blast is prominent but fades quickly, leaving an oakmoss woody base. Many find it too strong and go noseblind easily, though fans appreciate its quality and year-round versatility.
