Miss Habanita

Edit: I lost my connection and the site put me as a guest. Each person's skin is a different world. I tried this on at a counter at my local mall and I was very impressed. When I smelled it on paper, it smelled sweet, but there is something behind it. This is not your tipical i am sweet and sugary just like everybody else perfume. On my skin it smells of ripe fruit and creamy richness. There's also some wood there, but it's not so apparent after much later. After an hour or so, it turns into this blend of rich woods, powder and beautiful flowers with still some fruits from the opening. This is high quality french perfume. You just can't stop smelling it. It was weird for me, since I absolutely LOVE Habanita (the original perfume with the black bottle) and any perfume that's strong and spicy. If Habanita is the dark witch that captures you, dominates and makes you kiss her boots afterwards and haunts you forever,, Miss Habanita is the same witch disguised in red and gold tthat prowls outside that can ravish you and make you feel her scent on you all day. It is that good.

For me Miss Habanita is a bright, crisp white wine full of sparkling white grapes blended with over-ripened spiced dark sweet peaches and a touch of sweet dark raisins and red currants. Vetiver and crisp sandalwood lend a crispy, almost spicy, uplifting quality. Miss Habanita is definitely sparkly, refreshing, happy, excitingly delightful "party girl" scent for Spring and Summer, though it's great all year long when you need a lift. Sillage is moderate, and on me, longevity is awesome, staying strong more than 10 hours, until I wash it off. It's a natural fruits scent, with a touch of smoke, sweet but not sugary, unique, very much on the feminine side, but could be unisex, and smells very expensive. I absolutely LOVE Miss Habanita !

Miss Habanita how lovely you are! This is a lush smokey fruit incense. She goes deep into your pores leaving a wispy mix of vanilla and smoked fruit. I LOVE the sandalwoodvetiver mix although I would put it in the middle notes instead of the front like it is rated up top but that is just me. I don't get alot of floral except for the jasmine. Also, I am not real sure why this is a "chypre" but I trust the fragranticians on this site...Any way overall, a WOMANS fruity perfume. Maybe cloying in the humid heat of summer...but a definite winner in the fall and winter. I also want to say this is my fifth Molinard perfume and all have them have a harmony and depth that you just can't get anywhere! Happy Perfuming!!!♥

Molinard Miss Habanita EDT is more than just a fruit cup. Peaches, crisp grapes, yes. It also features some delicate woods and bright green moss, the vivd, fresh moss you see in the forest on a humid spring day. It just suggests freshness. The sweetness of this one is tempered by the other notes. Miss Habanita suggest a connection to nature. This is not the vanilla cupcake meltdown you might get from a celeb fragrance that lists similar notes. Very nicely done.

I had this one for my 18th birthday , it was not this bottle though , it was a much prettier one (maybe a special edition ?). The scent was the same however . I'm not always a fan of the Chypre group , but this one is so special , it's glowing ,it's warm , it's generous and happy , and fruity indeed , but maybe not enough to be regarded as a floral fruity . I prefered wearing it in fall or winter , the sweet perfume are yucky in summer imo :-P

I think it's beautiful. Musky heavy fruit. It's deliciously creamy. And through the whole thing it has a lovely vintage vibe to it which brings it to something quite new. It's gorgeous on my skin, I really love it. 8/10

This is really pretty! Like several other reviewers have stated it does remind me of a dessert or a sweet wine. It is sweet (not cloying), fruity, and effervescent!

I have read on Molinard's website that this perfume is identical to Miss de Molinard. It is basically the same perfume. I don’t know if they stopped making this and resolved to just make Miss. My review os for Miss, but I also post it here since they are considered to be the same thing. I blind bought this from their website, I didn’t really know what to expect. I like it: it is a warm vanilla-based perfume with strong peach, and a flowery background. At the beginning it is a bit chaotic: the peach is wild and the sparkling white wine note (not really a grape note to me) makes it even brighter. The vanilla is there from the start, but at first it is subtle. After a while, on me at least, the vanilla takes over, and the peach and the wine sink in the background. After some other time, vanilla and peach are the main stars, ylang makes an appearance with a faint jasmine, and the wine disappears. The perfume goes from a wild, fizzy and sharp beginning to a rounder and mellower drydown. It gets better and better with time, the notes "separate" and become.more clear and rounded. Performance is great, it lasts half a day on me. Projection is moderate to strong. It is not a fresh perfume at all, it is actually quite warm. In my opinion, it is best worn in winter, fall or early spring. Not really in the summer, it would get cloying since it is quite a sweet perfume. Not exactly a gourmand, but close. It is really good, quite the people pleaser if you will.

miss habanita,who is the daughter of "misses" habanita the opulent,tabacco,gold,incense lady...look my black eyes! miss habanita,is so different,on my arm,a little sweet peach with a little sugar,a juicefruit really,i thought i wouldn't like this fragrance.but ,even if this perfum stays simple,linear(one :peach goldie peach summer on your skin,after a different fruit more interresting :grape wine,give a good power,for two years after it is staying a very fine smellingperhaps vanilla with a little touch of wood,discret one,like a remind of an old summer.....well done,just well done.i take it ;))ka

For lovers of the fabulous original madame Habanita this is NOT her daughter or even her grand-daughter. Miss H could be her granddaughter-in-law or distant cousin related only through marriage. This is an interesting spin on the usual "fruit-salad" fruity-floral. It is chypre-esque but not too much (good for the chypre beginner or chypre averse); sweet but not syrupy (unless you are sweet averse); fruits are spiced and juicy gently supported by the florals (I get mostly orchid and ylang); the woods and vanilla keep it all grounded . . . I like it!!

C'est un beau parfum qui réussit à être sucré et vraiment fruité sans être mièvre, avec une pointe de sophistication, grâce à son côté chypre.Il a une bonne tenue, se porte plutôt pour la saison fraîche car bien présent et son prix est correct. J'aurais préféré qu'il conserve son joli flacon Lalique d'antan. Il peut être entêtant, je conseille aux migraineuses de bien le tester d'abord. Je m'en suis un peu lassée, il faut dire que les fruités ne sont pas mes préférés.

I really like this, but don't get grape at all...more Nectarine or even Guava rather than just sweet peach.(Maybe that's the grape/peach combo & I can't differentiate?) It is not sickly sweet as some of the newer fruity concoctions are, it develops well, with the mossier notes evident.In all a young, but sophisticated summery offering, I would think with a place in every wardrobe.

Kind of like rotten fruit: lots of raisin, a hint of peach, some orchid and ylang, sandalwood and vanilla. In the base, the vetiver is present to give it an herbal, almost oakmoss vibe. A bit cacophonous. Kind of liked it in the top but it grew less appealing as it dried down. I am wearing the vintage in the beautiful bottle.

The notes from the the official site: 1 - Note de tête : Raisin muscat - Citron 2 - Note de coeur : Pêche blanche - Orchidée - Ylang-Ylang - Jasmin 3 - Note de fond : Vanille - Vetyver - Bois de santal Not that simple after all!

I had a friend of mine bring back a bottle of this for me from France, and I was scared it would wind up being a syrupy, grape and peach mess. I was pleasantly suprised at what came out of the bottle. This is most definitely chypre, and while I dislike chypres in general, it works wonderfully for the fruit here. The grapes and the peach are not of the sugar sweet variety, but more sparkling and light. This was described to me as being a lighter, sweeter, more fruity and younger version of Habanita. I've yet to smell Habanita but there is a faint impression of something deep, dark, and leather in the background of chypre fruit. It is very faint but it is there. I can only assume this is the work of the oakmoss, but judging by the notes in Habanita I can definitely see this being a younger sister to Habanita. The drydown is smooth, creamy, and pure vanilla. I wasn't prepared to like this, but I have to say that Miss Habanita has won me over. Which says a lot for a self proclaimed chypre hater. Sillage is fairly impressive. I sprayed just a little on my arm, covered up in a long sleeve shirt and thick coat, and all day I was looking around for whatever it was that smelled so nice! Unfortunately, as soon as the drydown hits the scent all but dissapears into a vanilla skin scent.

Miss Habinita is not for me. I enjoy some chypres, fruity scents, I even enjoy moss in scents, but MH has too much of the "old style" feel for me. Verging a bit on rotting fruit in a not so good way. I should have been warned with the comparisons to Habinita of which I am also not a fan but I decided to forge ahead. Needless to say I suppose I gravitate towards brighter cleaner scents. This one had me reaching for the soap. So be warned, if you do not enjoy scents with an older feel to them do not try this. It is not a modern fruity scent. It could have been created well before the 80's. On the otherhand if you are not a fan of the modern fruity scents, and you DO enjoy the older styles, maybe MIss Habinita is for you.

I'm so sorry to do this but that pretty inviting bottle fooled me. Nope just can't seem to enjoy this one. But then again I am more of a spice/warm heavy fragrance lover. I scrubbed and scrubbed and it is still there. I don't find many that I've got to scrub off. However on the positive side my husband liked it and said it's got a very familiar vibe and he said I think it reminds me of older frags like Chanel. I believe he might be right.

This smells like an aquatic-sweet patchouli to me, which reminds me of Cacharel Eden. There's no patchouli in the notes so it must be the vetiver and vanilla that give the "warm earthy" scent I'm smelling... in any case, it doesn't blend well with the fresh, slightly aquatic fruits, in my opinion. I get nothing in common with Habanita, nothing smokey or sultry.

This one has got nothing to do with the original Habanita which I like a lot. Miss Habanita is a young scent that found me disappointed. It's like many scents out there for young girls and did not fulfill my expectations of a "lighter" version of Habanita.

Too fruity for my tastes. I like Chypre floral and fruitty, but this smells too much of peach, it disturbs me, almost makes me sick
