The Hotel Ambos Mundos in Havana was home to Ernest Hemingway's secrets and dreams. Hemingway spent a lot of time in his room 511, watching someone behind the curtains. Someone who looked up every morning and greeted him with a flirtatious gesture from the street before covering her blonde hair with a colorful scarf, getting into a convertible, and driving away, leaving a trail of fragrance and charm behind her. This seductive and playful girl was an aspiring actress named Leonella. The only woman who rejected the famous writer's attention and remained in his heart forever.
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.
