What does Habana 500 smell like?

It opens cool with marine notes and apple mint. Toward the heart, coffee, milk, amber, leather and cedarwood come forward, and the scent turns creamy, spicy and slightly powdery. Sandalwood, musk and ambergris keep that soft sweetness on a woody base.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, then winter, and lean towards evenings and leisure time. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though feminine votes are not far behind.
