The energy of a city is also reflected in its people, people like Cubata. His eyes are the color of cigars and his skin smells of their aromas. He works in a cigar factory on the outskirts of Havana, checking hundreds of Cuban cigars every day, one by one: their color, consistency, length, and soul. Cubata is the scent of Cuba, charged with the warmth of fermented leaves and the sound of burning tobacco. Cubata is a character you might meet in real life or in the pages of an old book.
Havana Collection
After dedicating his first perfumes to the island of Saint Barth, where he has lived since 1983, Zolty now celebrates the generosity and uniqueness of the Cuban capital. The compositions were inspired by his son, who lives in Cuba, and his travel book, whose pages are marked by life, memories, and encounters, as well as the decadent and revolutionary charm of Havana.
Some cities have that certain je ne sais quoi that instantly and irrevocably captivates you – the Parfums de Havane collection is a stroll through the heart of Havana, Cuba, the Isla Feliz of the Caribbean. Here, curiosity leads you through the labyrinth of streets where different scents mingle. Time flies – an afternoon can turn into a week, a month or even a whole year. Havana is still what it once was: dust under your shoes and gravel under your bare feet, crumbling buildings that have seen a lot over the course of time and history.
With Parfums de Havane, you can immerse yourself in the writings and photos of Jacques Zolty. It's like walking with him through the streets of the city, capturing its deepest soul and wearing its timeless charm on your skin.
