Is Aldi 32 Havanna Nights a dupe of Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa range (pistachio variant)?
32 Havanna Nights and the Sol de Janeiro pistachio variant split mainly on vibe. Havanna Nights is a sophisticated, budget-friendly option balancing sweet vanilla with amber and zesty bergamot, versatile enough for the office or an evening out. The Sol de Janeiro variant goes fully gourmand: nutty, indulgent almond and caramel notes with a youthful, beachy feel that reads more casual and festive. Both use vanilla as a base, but Havanna Nights stays a more structured, classic perfume, while the Sol de Janeiro scent is closer to an edible, dessert-like skin scent. Want something refined and balanced? Go with Havanna Nights. Want a scent that smells like summer itself? The pistachio variant is the one.
