What does When in Havana smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, and most voters score them high. The vote count is small, so this is better read as a first impression than a firm verdict. There are no season or occasion votes, but its dense build reads as a masculine scent.
As a whole it is sweet and gourmand, with tobacco and honeyed tobacco leading alongside coffee and cocoa. Vanilla and benzoin soften the sweetness into a creamy base, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. Fresh and synthetic accents stay in the background and lighten it slightly. Lattafa Asad and Paris Corner Eternal Coffee have a close profile.
