Molinard Habanita Anniversary Edition is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Habanita Anniversary Edition opens with Salt, Mastic, Petitgrain, and Geranium, settles into a heart of Taif Rose, Cedar, Vetiver, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Molinard's Habanita Anniversary Edition carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

A legendary scent, Habanita Anniversary Edition is for those who appreciate classic, complex fragrances. It's divisive; some find it a sophisticated, spicy floral, others a 'rich old lady' scent. It's the same Habanita you know, just in a gorgeous red bottle.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage make it suitable for evening wear, particularly dates and formal events where it can be appreciated without being overwhelming. While some might wear it casually, its complexity and depth lean away from everyday office or sporty situations.

About

Opening with an unusual salty kick alongside sharp petitgrain and a hint of peppery spice, this fragrance immediately asserts its unique character. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet featuring the heady sweetness of Taif rose, exotic ylang-ylang, and powdery heliotrope, underpinned by a woody vetiver and cedar. As it settles, a deep, resonant base of musk, amber, and vanilla emerges, intertwined with earthy patchouli and moss, creating a lasting, sophisticated trail.
