What does Habanera smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Voters read it as masculine and feminine in nearly equal measure, with a classic feel.

Amber and vanilla set a sweet, warm base, while jasmine, rose and mimosa carry the floral, powdery side. Sandalwood, cedarwood and vetiver add woody depth, and mossy notes and musk pull it towards the earthy and animal. Geranium and petitgrain stay in the background. Molinard Habanita and Giorgio Valenti Rose Noire have a close profile.
