Which Should You Buy?
Perfume Parlour's read on Les Indemodables Vanille Havane - the same dark, boozy tobacco-and-cacao vanilla rather than a cupcake sweet one. Havana Vanilla nails the cigar-and-rum opening but loses some of the original's smoky leather depth and resin-rich longevity, reading sweeter and a little more linear than Antoine Lie's masterwork.
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.
