What does Havana Paradise smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage strong, which suits anyone who wants a rich scent that makes itself noticed. More than half of voters give high marks on both counts, though the vote count is small, so the picture is tentative. Being unisex, it wears equally well on men and women.
It opens with ginger, tobacco, clove and dried fruits, a spicy warmth. Toward the heart, cocoa, tonka bean and vanilla come forward and sweeten it, while tobacco carries on. In the base, woody notes, honey, labdanum and benzoin settle it into a soft, warm finish. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (Eau de Parfum) and Novellista Vanilla Club have a close profile.
