Havana

Aramis · Eau de Toilette (EDT) · 1994

Released in 1994 and created by Nathalie Feisthauer and Xavier Renard, Havana is an oriental spicy fragrance built around a warm tobacco-and-cinnamon heart evoking a Cuban cigar lounge. It remains one of Aramis's most cult-followed releases, praised for its rich, smoky, mossy dry-down.
