What does Habanita (2012) (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds mastic, geranium, petitgrain and ylang-ylang. In the heart, rosa centifolia, mimosa and jasmine carry the floral side, while vetiver, cedar and nutmeg add a woody, spicy edge. The base of vanilla, oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood and amber leaves a sweet, resinous, slightly smoky and leathery warmth. Powdery and animal tones also sit among its accords.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and favour evening and night-out wear. Feminine is the most common character vote, with classic second. Its profile is close to Molinard Habanita (1988) (Eau de Toilette) and Harry Lehmann Habanera.
