Les Indémodables Vanille Havane is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Antoine Lie. Vanille Havane settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Floral, Tobacco, and Dried Fruits, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Vanilla. Les Indémodables's Vanille Havane carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

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 winter and autumn.

Best 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.

About

Vanille Havane opens with a potent, boozy hit of rum and succulent dried fruits, almost like a fruitcake doused in spirits. As it settles, a rich, dark cacao emerges, mingling with a dusty, authentic tobacco leaf and a hint of warm vanilla. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of smoky leather and amber, creating a long-lasting, complex aroma that's far from a generic sweet gourmand. Expect depth, warmth, and a touch of the exotic.
