Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - A*Men Pure Havane Eau de Toilette
A legendary designer tobacco-honey bomb, Mugler's Pure Havane is a smooth, sweet, and slightly smoky masterpiece that's a crime to have discontinued. It's often compared to Naxos, but don't get it twisted - this came first and, for many, it's still superior.

Our Verdict - Vanille Havane Eau de Parfum
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.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Vanille Havane Eau de Parfum

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.
