    I have read about, but avoided, Habanita for years. I always got stuck on the "leather" accord which others mentioned. Habanita was referred to as a "BEAST", among other things, and those comments...

    2.5 lipsticks, rounded down to 2 because I'll never wear it. Against my better judgement, I blind bought habanita. How could I resist a critically acclaimed, remarkably cheap, historic perfume...

    The first blast is fruity, I get some peach & berry notes but that quickly disappears. The next note smells like spicy cloves to my nose. The "clove" note is joined by warm cushy vanilla, nutmeg &...

    Note: I find Andy Tauers Vanilla Flash - Tauerville, in rollerball form, easier to wear, less powdery, less arid, less sugary, more tobacco than Habinita. I also prefer it to my original...

    This is a review of Habanita EDT purchased 2011. Would love to try vintage, parfum & the new current reformulated EDP released in 2012. For me this is a dark plush powdery oriental that has...

    Habanita is one of my favorite scents. Originally created in the early 1920's to perfume cigarettes, it's evolved into one of the great classic fragrances. What makes Habanita so special is that it...

    My initial reaction when I first tested Habanita, I took a whiff and it opened my eyes with surprise. This is an exciting perfume, to say the least. It stands alone amongst many that have been...

    At one time in my life, I was convinced that Balmain's Jolie Madame was the greatest sounding fragrance, ever. At less than 30 dollars online, I sprung for a bottle and eagerly awaited my scented...

    Hello, masterpiece! This is one of my top picks. It's strong, lasts forever and a day, and is FIERCE :) Sexy in a dark, powerful way (none of the pink frilly stuff here).

    I had been anticipating a smokey, smouldering leather-vanilla based on descriptions that Habanita started its life as a scent for cigarettes. The verdict? - Not quite. For me, the opening skips...

    Habinita was another scent on my list of must-tries and since it's not readily available in stores near me, I ordered it online for practically nothing. The notes all lie within my spectrum of...

    I am really pleased to have finally tried Habanita, but thus far, it’s not something I could feel comfortable wearing – though this isn’t because it’s too old-fashioned, or powdery, or complicated....

    In a word, Habanita is hypnotic. I've been a Habanita devotee for many years, and when I am in the mood for it, it's one of the most comforting and yet arresting fragrances I own. It's totally...

    Love this one! I recently purchased a sample of the edt & the edp and I find the edp to be far superior in formulation. It is smokier and a more rich, leathery vanilla. The edt has too much of an...

    The Habanita is so different than I expected, but I'm liking it! I first sprayed in the box, smelled, and said, "Ack!" It kind of smelled like those yellowish lady bugs that stink if you kill them...

    Habanita originally came out in 1921 as a fragrance to scent ladies’ cigarettes. Soon, some of these bold ladies (i.e. flappers) started wearing it on themselves. Thus, began Habanita’s...

    Colossal vanilla/smoke/tobacco scent. I have heard this one referred to as 'the big powder' but it does not go powdery at all on me. The leather is very noticeable, particularly in the drydown...
