Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Havana Vanille EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair where the rum-soaked, dark vanilla can either transport you to a Cuban night or leave you scrubbing your wrist. Definitely sample before you buy; blind buys here are for the truly adventurous and the potentially regretful.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Cuir Majeste EDP
A truly astonishing leather, Cuir Majeste is a luxurious, attention-grabbing beast. While its potency might not be for everyone, for those who love bold, rich scents, this is an absolute masterpiece.

Season and Occasion Fit

Havana Vanille

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and intense, boozy, and often polarising character make it unsuitable for office wear, where discretion is key. The rich, warm, and sensual profile, often described as 'dark' and 'erotic', makes it perfect for date nights and formal evenings, especially in colder weather. While some wear it casually, its powerful presence might be too much for everyday situations.
