Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vanille Havane EDP
This one is a divisive but ultimately beloved growler. Some find it a bit much, but those who 'get' it rave about its rich complexity. Don't be fooled by the name; this is not a sweet vanilla, it's a deep, dark, tobacco-laced boozy affair that oozes quality.

Our Verdict - Royal Leaf Extrait
Royal Leaf is Aromara's take on Amouage Opus XIV Royal Tobacco, a rich rum-and-tobacco luxury scent. Rum, cinnamon and davana open into tobacco, tonka and benzoin, over oud and leather. Built at 35% Extrait.

Season and Occasion Fit

Vanille Havane

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong projection and rich, boozy-tobacco profile, this scent is a standout for dates and formal evening events, where it truly shines. It's too assertive for an office and completely out of place for sport, though some might pull it off casually on a cold day.
