Which Should You Buy?
Light, bright and tropical without being sickly sweet, Havana is a warm, spicy hug that projects serious holiday vibes. A modern twist from a classic house, it's pretty versatile and a solid crowd-pleaser.
Don't let the 'Noir' in the name fool you, this isn't a dark scent. Whilst some find it a unique spicy-woody experience, a notable segment of the community can't even stomach it. Try before you buy.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for an office setting if applied lightly, but truly shines for dates or formal events where its unique spicy-woody character can be appreciated without being overwhelming. The warm, spicy accords do not suit sport.
