Launched in 1995 by Carlos Benaïm for Aramis, Havana Pour Elle is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the essence of a warm and inviting evening. The composition begins with a vibrant mix of melon, peach, mandarin orange, and apple, creating a fruity freshness that transitions into a heart of heliotrope, ylang-ylang, freesia, and rose, infusing the scent with floral sweetness. A base of cedar, honey, tonka bean, and vanilla adds depth and warmth, making it a perfect blend for those who appreciate both sweet and powdery notes.

Application Tips
Havana Pour Elle is best applied to pulse points for a longer-lasting effect. The fruity top notes dissipate quickly, so layering it over a moisturizer can help the floral and powdery heart notes emerge more prominently. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, making it ideal for evening wear.
