In the 1920s, during Prohibition in the United States, Havana was the place to be, with its party nights and smoky casinos where big bands played through the night, while the golden youth of the United States continued to bet at the gamble tables. At the time, French designers were having a major influence on the North American market. Cherigan opened her second perfume boutique in Cuba in the early 1930s.
A true paradise for architecture lovers and fans of Cuban music, cigars and ròn, it's no wonder that Ernest Hemingway made Cuba his second home. After the success of his novel “Fiesta – The Sun Also Rises”, published in 1926, the most French of all American writers in Paris in the Roaring Twenties moved to the Keys, right in front of Cuba. Even today, his tutelary figure still reigns over the El Floridita bar and the Ambos Mundos hotel in Havana.
Fiesta Habana — An ode to the vibrating nights
Fiesta Habana is an uncensored, bewitching fragrance, wrapped in a swirl of Venezuelan marijuana, Cuban Rhum and soft tobacco, creating a luscious, woody and dark olfactory tableau, just like the sensual atmosphere of Cuban nights.
Can a perfume extract be qualitative and long-lasting?
Some of the raw materials used in the formula of Fiesta Habana come from sustainable development programmes, others from upcycling, and molecules synthesised according to the principles of green chemistry.
Rhum Pure Jungle Essence: Extract of rum liqueur, obtained by distillation of sugarcane by-products, which releases a fruity, intoxicating note.
Immortelle Pure Jungle Essence: Extracted from the immortelle species Helichrysum litoreum, its floral, aromatic and spicy notes are softer and rounder than traditional immortelle essence.
Santamanol: Powerful and long-lasting, this molecule has a woody, sandalwood and creamy profile.
Vanilla: Produced in Madagascar as part of a responsible sourcing programme, this warm, rich vanilla absolute reveals a gourmand, woody note.
Orcanox: A molecule synthesised from sclareol, a natural compound extracted from clary sage, a waste product of the hydrodistillation process, which gives off woody, musky, powdery notes.
