OMG, i have discovered a HG fragrance thanks to the Fragrance board. But even in this unbearable 100+ degree heat of August heat wave, at least in my AC cool bedroom at night I am loving...

Habanita reminds me of a speciality base I got as a sample from Haarmann & Reimer (now Symrise) in the 1960's, called Habanol P. This perfumery "building block" was intended to be reminiscent of...

I bought this as a collectible mini from perfumeport.com (not affiliated). For $4.50 US, this is the sweetest little black glass bottle w/a gold cap - I would repurchase for the bottle alone. At...

<i>Sexy.</i> Habanita is all woman. It's pipe tobacco and baby powder, two notes I've loved separately; together they make for a hell of a frightening fragrance. I'm not sure when I'd ever wear...

If you can get past the slightly smokey/tobacco notes at the start of this composition then you will find a really sexy, sophisticated drydown (after about 30 mins. on my skin) It smells like...

Just wanted to add to all that's already been said: it makes a BIG difference whether you try the eau de toilette or the perfume. The perfume is much more beautiful and balanced and does not have...

A stunning beauty. Comforting. It beckons you with its smoky, powdery notes. Mysterious and primal. In my top five faves of all time.

Specifically pipe tobacco, and baby powder. It's purty enuf, but I need more stank, something sharper. I don't need to smell like Grandpa's new infant grandchild's tushie on poker nite. I'd much...

I believe it was liz_blake who first commented that Habanita smells like "evil baby powder." That aptly sums it up for Habanita, which has been around for almost 90 years now. So, ah . . . , who...

After reading all the reviews and doing some board asking along the lines of "if I like Bandit, and I likely to enjoy Habanita?" I went ahead and bought unsniffed. Picked it up off eBay for...

I NEEDED to love this scent. The black Lalique designed bottle... the allure of the 20's... the mood of sexy grown up elegance and mystery... exotic... the bottle promised it all. I wore it on my...

HABANITA opens with a pleasingly bitter accord of galbanum, juniper, tobacco, dry peach (maybe aldehyde C-14), lentisque and lavender. Beneath the bitter accord lie benzoin, rose, ...

Oh Habanita, you are a mystical creature! A shout out to my perf buddy Karen (Cally79) for corrupting me yet again. The first time I put Habanita on my wrists, I knew I had to have her in a full...

I've tried dozens of scents over 30+ years and still come back to this, my favorite. I'm at the point where this is my primary scent ... everything else sits ignored on the shelf. Habanita is not...

Such a classy, timeless gem. Wear this in a croweded room and it's Habanita that will be remembered amid all the other floral air deodorizers. Habanita leaves a sumptous trail of FEMALE. Prepare to...

An amazing fragrance: smoky, leathery with a soft vanillic touch. Stubborn like Bandit and sultry like Shalimar. Requires the right body chemistry and weather to work. I tried the EDT a couple...

On me, this doesn’t smell the greatest. But my mother wears this and it really works with her chemistry. On her I can smell the powder, tobacco and vanilla intermingling; it’s very appealing and...

I always get compliments when I wear this.It's one of my favorite frags.If you like leathery,smokey,sweet scents,give it a try. It's a good change from the vanilla and sugary scents.
