What does Habana Cocoa smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with leisure, evening and night out leading the occasions and business well behind. Voters read it as more masculine than feminine, though a fair share see it as feminine.

It opens with Virginia tobacco and leather, then moves to Madagascan and Indian cocoa absolutes that make the heart creamy and sweet. The base of Spanish labdanum absolute, Siberian castoreum and Siam benzoin adds a resinous, animalic, smoky depth. Duftkumpels Habana Cocoa Essenca and Urban Scents Sensual Blend have a close profile.
