What does Vanille Havane (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Vanilla and cocoa lead: Comorian vanilla and Colombian cocoa build a dense, sweet gourmand base, while Egyptian jasmine adds a soft floral touch. Spicy, woody and resinous accords keep the sweetness in check, and a smoky shade stays in the background. With no top, heart and base split, it reads as one warm, unified whole.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evening and night-out wear, less towards the office or daily use. Many voters find it masculine, though it reads as unisex.
