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.
This is a challenging but ultimately rewarding take on rose, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s definitely not for everyone. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser, delivering a dark, intellectual twist on a classic floral.

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.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and depth make it less suited for casual or office wear, where it might overwhelm. This is best reserved for evening dates or formal events where its unique character can truly shine without overshadowing the wearer.
