Havana Vanille

L'Artisan Parfumeur Havana Vanille is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Havana Vanille opens with Clove, Vanilla, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Immortelle, Narcissus, Tonka Bean, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, Resin, and Leather. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Havana Vanille carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

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

Best 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.

About

Opening with a boozy hit of rum and dried fruits, this fragrance quickly settles into an intense vanilla heart warmed by a spicy clove kick, before revealing a dark, complex base. Immortelle and licorice notes entwine with leather and tobacco, creating a smoky, resinous depth. Expect an opulent, grown-up vanilla experience that's far from your average sweet gourmand.
