What does Havana smell like?
Havana opens with cinnamon, tobacco and black pepper; labdanum, tonka bean absolute and nutmeg form the heart. Vetiver, vanilla and papyrus sit in the base. The overall impression is a fruity, gourmand, creamy sweetness over a woody, oriental warmth.
Both longevity and sillage are rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings, nights out and leisure time. Its character sits between masculine and feminine, with a modern feel. Givenchy Gentlemen Only Absolute and Parfums d'Elmar Zaya have a close profile.
