I was lucky enough to find a vintage bottle of Habanita, circa about 1980-ish I think: cylindrical clear bottle with a big vertically-ridged gold cap on it. It is aaamaaaazing! I have the current...

This is an intense, powdery, darkly seductive vanilla-tobacco fragrance with leather notes. The packaging is beautiful, too; it's the the most beautiful perfume bottle I own. I rated this product...

Just purchased an EDT of this after receiving a sample in a swap. Never thought I would like a scent like this and was afraid of smelling like a granny. Oh contraire.... the drydown on this is...

I have found my HG of perfume. Never has a scent hit my so hard and I am a perfumaholic. I bought this without knowing the actual scent on my skin, but from reading the clever, descriptive reviews...

So far, I've only tested samples of this, but a bottle or better yet, the actual perfume oil, will be mine soon. This stuff is bottled nostalgia, when women were women and got their way with the...

Tried this thanks to a very generous MUA swap. Oh God, i LOVE it! So sweet but deep and soft and warm. Immediately promoted to top of my perfume list, sitting comfortably with L'heure bleu and...

I just tried a sample and I love it. I'm not noticing the leather on my skin, wish I did but if it's there it's softly in the background. The tobacco is delicious. My dad and grandfather smoked...

Excellent. Starts off powdery and dry and finishes as a dark, animalic powder, with a slight hint of sweetness. It's oldfashioned in the best way. This perfume makes me feel aware of my own...

This is the least expensive fragrance I have purchased in years, hence, I was not expecting much as I bought it unsniffed. Damn! This is one hot number, to be worn by a ballsy bitch who knows...

I wanted to love this. It seemed dark and dangerous and exotic from the description and various reviews I've read. I love the bottle. But on me--the term 'hot mess' comes to mind. I just...

My first impression was "bewilderment". This one is very brash and in your face...but if you'll just wait and let it settle in, you might just be surprised! It has the same characteristics of Hot...

I alredy reviewed Habanita a while ago and nothing changed in what I think or feel about this perfume which to me remains my favourite. Time and time again I keep coming back to it and it still...

Definitely different. Goes in a bit acidic and chemical, but as time wears on the soft vanilla comes to the fore..Will keep it in my fragrance wardrobe.

Um, baby powder...and dried leaves soaked in baby oil. I tried this in parfum form and Habanita has been on my wishlist for years. I have always wanted to try it but never did get the chance until...

I got Habanita in a swap two days ago and I absolutely adore it. When I read the reviews I wasn't sure I'd like it, but as usual it turns out real perfume merges with different skins in its own...

Baby powder and cigars. That's all I get from this. Two lippies for being a distinctive, antique scent that has hung around for 90 years. Gorgeous black etched Lalique bottle, too. But...

I bought this unsniffed because of the reviews on here stating it is a sexy, femme fatale scent blah blah. All this smell slike to me is an old fashioned high end perfumey-lipstick. The waxy...

I'm glad to have finally tried this legendary fragrance. Strong spicy/tabacco opening with vanilla/baby powder drydown. The drydown is wonderfully comforting and Habanita smells wonderful. Not...

The other descriptions that mention baby powder, cigar smoke, and bourbon vanilla are on target, as is the fairly common sense of this as retro. It's a film noir frag all the way. Picture a...
