Havana Vanilla

Name: Havana Vanilla Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Havana Vanilla is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020. Havana Vanilla opens with Tobacco and Cacao Butter, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, Dried Fruits, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Havana Vanilla carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's read on Les Indemodables Vanille Havane - the same dark, boozy tobacco-and-cacao vanilla rather than a cupcake sweet one. Havana Vanilla nails the cigar-and-rum opening but loses some of the original's smoky leather depth and resin-rich longevity, reading sweeter and a little more linear than Antoine Lie's masterwork.

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.

About

Havana Vanilla opens on warm pipe tobacco and bittersweet cacao, the boozy lift of rum and dried fruits curling through the heart alongside a whisper of dark florals. It is Perfume Parlour's interpretation of Les Indemodables Vanille Havane (2020), a celebrated dark-vanilla composition that treats the bean as a real cured pod - smoky, resinous and grown-up rather than a dessert. The dupe captures that cigar-lounge character convincingly, with the same tobacco-cacao-rum trinity up front, but it leans a touch sweeter and the leather facet sits softer, so it misses some of the original's brooding depth and its impressive 10-hour staying power. The drydown still lands on a creamy bourbon-vanilla wrapped in amber and a quiet suede-like leather, comforting and skin-warm. Expect solid but not heroic longevity. This is a cool-weather scent through and through: cosy autumn and winter evenings, intimate dates, and lazy fireside nights where its dark, sensual warmth feels luxurious.
