What does Carnival d'Havana smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage moderate. It suits anyone who wants a dense, characterful fragrance without a gendered lean.

It opens with mango rum and frankincense, where a fruity sweetness is held in check by a resinous edge. In the heart, tuberose and gardenia absolute form a floral core, while tobacco and gaiac wood add a smoky, woody weight. The base brings an animal warmth from castoreum, hyraceum and musk, with cedarwood and sandalwood rounding out the woody ground. Grossmith Saffron Rose and Jazeel Ghala share a close profile.
