Aramis Havana is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1994, created by Nathalie Feisthauer and Xavier Renard. Havana opens with Caraway, Mandarin, Basil, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Carnation, Cinnamon, Tobacco, and Fir Resin, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Aramis's Havana carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Aramis Havana is a bold, untamed classic that's a love-it-or-hate-it affair. It's a proper man's fragrance, eschewing modern trends for a blast of spicy tobacco and earthy green that certain types absolutely adore. Don't blind buy unless you're ready for an unapologetically vintage vibe.

Its strong projection and distinct, retro character make it less suitable for a typical office. However, it's a solid choice for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated. It's a bit too bold for casual daytime wear unless you aim to make a statement.

About

Havana kicks off with an invigorating aromatic blend of basil and artemisia, spiced up by caraway, before plunging into a robust heart. Here, fir resin, cinnamon, and carnation mingle with a distinctly dry, unlit tobacco leaf accord, steering clear of any sweetness. It settles into a classically masculine base of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli, underscored by a rich, mossy oakmoss, evoking a refined yet rugged character.
