About
Havana Vanille (Vanille Absolument) by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Havana Vanille (Vanille Absolument) was launched in 2009. The nose behind this fragrance is Bertrand Duchaufour. Top notes are Vanilla, Dried Fruits and Clove; middle notes are Tonka Bean, Immortelle, Licorice and Narcissus; base notes are Rum, Tobacco, Resin, Woodsy Notes, Leather and Musk. October 2009. L’Artisan Parfumeur, tireless adventurer, unrepentant traveler and intrepid explorer invites you to encounter the languorous beauty that is Havana Vanille. From its vibrant Salsa rhythms, its famous cigars and Cuban rum, it is certain there is something magical about Havana. It is a place that contrasts all others. This mysterious fragrance is reminiscent of travels around the world, the nostalgia of crossing the seven seas to discover far off treasures and the smell of a wooden boat mingling with the aroma of rum and spice. A sensually elegant fragrance, Havana Vanille expresses itself according to the occasion. At the soul of this infusion is Mexican vanilla pod soaked in aged rum which contains a Top Note of clove and crystallized dried fruit. Its leathery characteristics are rounded off by a ball of vanilla and powder. The Heart Note, a subtle alliance of narcissus, everlasting flower and tonka bean is reminiscent of freshly picked tobacco leaves, both honey-sweet and narcotic. The Base Note blend of balms, smoked woods and musks around a vanilla absolute make the fragrance creamy, mellow and addictive. A luminous and mysterious harmony, Havana Vanille is indeed the fragrance of a magical place. It comes in 50ml (1.7oz) and 100ml (3.4oz) EDP.
