What does Havana Plum smell like?

It opens with cognac, clementine and rum, then turns sweeter at the heart with honey, plum, caramel and burley tobacco. Bourbon vanilla, patchouli and oak wood absolute weigh in at the base, while sandalwood and tonka bean soften the woody, resinous footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and place it in the evening or a night out. Votes for feminine and masculine are nearly even, so it sits between the two. Parfums de Marly Carlisle and Serge Lutens Arabie have a close profile.
