Vanille Havane

Vanille Havane is a rich, dark, and deeply textured tobacco-vanilla-gourmand scent with a pronounced boozy rum and cacao backbone, blending seamlessly into a smoky, amber-drenched dry down. The opening is bold and syrupy, featuring a luxuriously bitter dark chocolate and rum that gives way to a dry, earthy tobacco note layered with dried fruits and a subtle animalic leather. The vanilla is not overly sweet—instead, it's deep, warm, and resinous, balancing the sweetness against the smoky, slightly medicinal dry tobacco and amber. The fragrance is unisex in leaning, though many find it more masculine due to its weight and depth. Performance is strong, with moderate to strong sillage that lasts for hours, making it ideal for cold weather and intimate, evening wear. It’s perceived as highly sophisticated and high-quality, with some noting a resemblance to deeper, more niche perfumes like Amber Russe or Slumberhouse Jeke, though it stands out due to its complex blend of smoky tobacco, patchouli-like depth, and soft leather. However, some find the initial gourmand sweetness overwhelming and the progression toward a dry, animalic leather and medicinal tobacco tone divisive.
