Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Havana Eau de Parfum

Aramis Havana is a bold, untamed classic that's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a proper man's fragrance, eschewing modern trends for a blast of spicy tobacco and earthy green that certain types absolutely adore. Don't blind buy unless you're ready for an unapologetically vintage vibe.

Our Verdict - Holysm Parfum

This one is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, a challenging and artistic masterpiece for those who dare. It commands attention rather than asking for it, polarising opinions with its bold, dark green character. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for the right connoisseur.

Season and Occasion Fit

Havana Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its strong projection and distinct, retro character make it less suitable for a typical office. However, it's a solid choice for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated. It's a bit too bold for casual daytime wear unless you aim to make a statement.

Holysm Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

This is a formal, statement fragrance not suited for casual wear or the office dynamic due to its commanding presence and woody intensity. It excels in formal settings and evening dates, where its sophisticated and unique aroma can truly shine, as highlighted by reviewers suggesting suit-and-tie occasions.
