‘Havana in the mid-20th century was known as a playground for the mafia and the wealthy elite, offering exciting music at venues such as the Tropicana and the Buena Vista Social Club cultural association. The rhythms of habanera, Latin jazz and salsa could be heard everywhere and, together with the dazzling showgirls, contributed to the fascination of this tropical island. After the 1959 revolution, many clubs closed, bringing an era in Havana to an end. The fragrance La Habana was inspired by my uncle, who was a sailor, and his stories about Cuba.’
The Eau de Parfum Habana is based on a sailor's memories of Cuba before the revolution. It sheds light on the golden age of music in the 1930s to 1950s. Aromatic, smoky and fascinating. The fragrance notes include saffron, incense and oud from Laos.
