The opening bursts with mandarin orange and basil, brightened by artemisia and caraway for an herbaceous, almost medicinal snap. It's the kind of first impression that feels both fresh and intentional—crisp enough to cut through a room, yet refined. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate clarity in their scent story.
What follows is a sophisticated heart of warm tobacco and cinnamon, grounded by fir and carnation. The spice deepens here, moving from bright to sensual, where the fragrance begins to settle into skin. This transition reveals the true character of Havana—clean and quietly sensual, with enough complexity to hold attention through the day and into evening.
The base anchors everything in patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, and sandalwood, creating a warm skin-level presence that lingers with noticeable projection. In mild to warm climates, Havana performs beautifully across 6–8 hours, evolving from crisp citrus to an amber-spicy embrace that feels both grounded and inviting.
