What does Havana Reserva smell like?
It opens with coriander, tangerine and citrus notes, which give it a green, fresh lift. In the heart, cedar, jasmine, spices and vanilla turn it sweeter and add a powdery warmth. The base is led by tobacco, sandalwood, woody notes and leather, leaving a resinous, earthy, smoky trail.
Longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though all four seasons get similar support, and it is chosen most often for evenings and leisure. More than half of voters call it masculine, and some also find it classic. Bvlgari Bvlgari Black and Tom Ford Bois Rouge have a close profile.
