What does Old Havana (Perfume) smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate, so it lasts well without filling the room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads comfortably on both men and women.

The notes come across as one whole: lime and spindrift give a fresh edge, spices and tobacco add a smoky warmth, cedar brings a dry woodiness, and vanilla softens and sweetens everything.
