Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, polarising beast for those who dare, Habanita delivers a heavy hit of dark, powdery florals. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it. Just beware of reformulations - true fans seek out the older batches.
A truly polarising beast. You'll either get an elegant salty vanilla that evokes idyllic beach resorts, or a scrubber that smells like stale pipes, body odour, or even vomit. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Habanita's strong projection and longevity mean it's possibly too much for an office environment, but it's perfect for a statement on a date or a formal event. Its comforting yet dark character also makes it suitable for more relaxed evening wear.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its unique, complex profile and moderate-to-strong projection make it intriguing for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit too distinctive for a typical office. The salty-meets-creamy accords could work casually or on summer evenings, but it's not a sport scent.
