Havana Pour Elle

The last time I smelled anything like this was in the early 1990's when I was walking through a tobacco warehouse where thousands of bales of dried tobacco were stacked and ready for auction. Sadly, my adopted hometown of Lexington, Kentucky bid farewell to the last of these historic warehouses some years ago but the fragrance remains, in my bottles of Havana Pour Elle. Intoxicating & masterful blend, this one. Unique in my collection - and that's saying something! Makes me feel "more like me", if that makes sense to anyone Sweet pipe tobacco laced with honey and infused with aromatic spices, none of which I can pick out individually. There's lightness here that lifts my mood and suggests sunshine rather than smokiness. Sprays on oily and lasts for days on fabric and a good 24 hours on my skin and hair. Powerful sillage. Becoming more & more expensive so grab a bottle before it becomes unaffordable. NOTE: To my Theorema-loving-nose there's NO similarity to Theorema whatsoever. I even did a wrist-to-wrist comparison, using Theorema in both parfum and edp concentrations. PLEASE try before buying if you're expecting a Theorema clone - to my nose they're not even distant relatives. Theorema is a solidly feminine fragrance while Havana Pour Elle could be unisex, on the "right" man.

Hi Weegee! The notes of this GEM are the following: - Magnolia - Lily of the Valley - Citrus - Turkish melon - Tagetes - 'queen of the night'- Cactus - Sunflower - Mango - Pine apple - Orchid - Vanille - Amber - Sandelwood And another 2 notes I do not know the translation of! And Weegee, I am one of those people linking Theorema to Havana. I agree totally that they are not the same in first instance, because Havana is VERY strong compared to Theorema. The similarity is to be found it some characteristics and construction of the formula. I would also say, they keep balance in the same manner only is Havana amplified in strength. For example. 1. Theorema is a creamy allrounder and it's creamy effect can be found it the nice combination with Nutmeg and real CREAM. Havana has it's creamy effect from the Magnolia and even more the ROSE HIP. 2. They both contain CITRUS! 3. Several wood types are found in both; 4. Where Theorema balances with Jasmin, Havana balances with Lily of the Valley. 5. They both share in the base the common notes of Amber and Sandalwood. These similarities in construction and balance make me link them to each other. But of course everybody is entitled to their own experience of a fragance. ANYHOW: it is a gem!

It is quite funny that Aramis decided to give Havana pour Elle almost the same shape of bottle as the Tsucany per Donna. This perfume is as I would say, a super concentrated Fendi Theorema. It is like Theorema ten times the strength. I was very happy Maen is loving this one, because I never hear people about Havana pour Elle but all the time about Theorema. I now have a maximum size Theorema, bought it when Fragrancex had a couple available all of a sudden, but I really think Havana pour Elle is MUCH better! Why bother the high price Theorema when this gem is ten times the strenght and sillage? Good luck! Action

What is this, only 4 people rating this one? People, people, it is like a super Theorema, if you 're into melon, this is a MUST MUST MUST have!

It's a masterpiece! This is the best perfume ever! The name really matches the scent. I'm so sorry it's discontinued.
