Havana Pour Elle Aramis for women

Hi Weegee!
The notes of this GEM are the following:

- Magnolia
- Lily of the Valley
- Citrus
- Turkish melon
- Tagetes
- 'queen of the night'- Cactus
- Sunflower
- Mango
- Pine apple
- Orchid
- Vanille
- Amber
- Sandelwood
And another 2 notes I do not know the translation of!

And Weegee, I am one of those people linking Theorema to Havana. I agree totally that they are not the same in first instance, because Havana is VERY strong compared to Theorema. The similarity is to be found it some characteristics and construction of the formula. I would also say, they keep balance in the same manner only is Havana amplified in strength.

For example.
1. Theorema is a creamy allrounder and it's creamy effect can be found it the nice combination with Nutmeg and real CREAM. Havana has it's creamy effect from the Magnolia and even more the ROSE HIP.

2. They both contain CITRUS!

3. Several wood types are found in both;

4. Where Theorema balances with Jasmin, Havana balances with Lily of the Valley.

5. They both share in the base the common notes of Amber and Sandalwood. These similarities in construction and balance make me link them to each other.

But of course everybody is entitled to their own experience of a fragance. ANYHOW: it is a gem!

The last time I smelled anything like this was in the early 1990's when I was walking through a tobacco warehouse where thousands of bales of dried tobacco were stacked and ready for auction. Sadly, my adopted hometown of Lexington, Kentucky bid farewell to the last of these historic warehouses some years ago but the fragrance remains, in my bottles of Havana Pour Elle.

Intoxicating & masterful blend, this one. Unique in my collection - and that's saying something! Makes me feel "more like me", if that makes sense to anyone

Sweet pipe tobacco laced with honey and infused with aromatic spices, none of which I can pick out individually. There's lightness here that lifts my mood and suggests sunshine rather than smokiness.

Sprays on oily and lasts for days on fabric and a good 24 hours on my skin and hair. Powerful sillage.

Becoming more & more expensive so grab a bottle before it becomes unaffordable.

NOTE: To my Theorema-loving-nose there's NO similarity to Theorema whatsoever. I even did a wrist-to-wrist comparison, using Theorema in both parfum and edp concentrations. PLEASE try before buying if you're expecting a Theorema clone - to my nose they're not even distant relatives. Theorema is a solidly feminine fragrance while Havana Pour Elle could be unisex, on the "right" man.

Hated it at first spray and the following 15mins or so when I tested it (sprayed it on my sleeve, too afraid to have it on my skin), I felt like I was choking.

Later, I went home, took off my shirt and went to bed. Next morning, I was about to take the same shirt to get it washed and an amazing smell greeted my nose (Powdery spiced-vanilla and woods scent). Then I realized that it was Havana.

I might buy it because it is so cheap yet smells costly (the dry-down I mean), but I personally would only use it to spray on my clothes the night before.

Me podrian indicar si el perfume HABANA continua en la venta y el precio.
gracias.

It is quite funny that Aramis decided to give Havana pour Elle almost the same shape of bottle as the Tsucany per Donna. This perfume is as I would say, a super concentrated Fendi Theorema. It is like Theorema ten times the strength. I was very happy Maen is loving this one, because I never hear people about Havana pour Elle but all the time about Theorema. I now have a maximum size Theorema, bought it when Fragrancex had a couple available all of a sudden, but I really think Havana pour Elle is MUCH better! Why bother the high price Theorema when this gem is ten times the strenght and sillage?
Good luck!

is the havena elle pour femme the real thing i had some a few tears ago and it was nothing like the original purchased in uk

this made my days in elementary school!! yes,a girl saved from monstruosities and boredom of every day life by this gem... so well made... sweet.powerful. far from cloying... pure adventure that begins on your skin and penetrates to the very blood...

What is this, only 4 people rating this one? People, people, it is like a super Theorema, if you 're into melon, this is a MUST MUST MUST have!

This perfume is so daring. I cannot help feeling that the name 'Angels and Demons' would have been more suitable to this one. It's opening is so spicey, it almost smells piquant.Then the drydown is so beautiful...vanilla and honey. I really don't know what to make of it...

I loved this for years. I was ad when it become impossible to find and to have discovered it here I am excited beyond belief, I have just spent the best part of $90 to have a bottle shipped to me on the UK> I love this fragrance. Monica xx

At the first smell it’s horrible! Very very smoky, too much tabacco and spices! This is at the top...
But when you across the shell, it’s magically exotic, you will travel to some place among the dances, lights, human heat, spicy food, with Latin air…! The passport to Havana or other Caribbean isle.
This is a typical and pure spicy floriental!
Smoky at the first 10 min., candy with tropical fruits at the base and finish with honey, vanilla and hints of tonka bean!
Powerful, beautiful and perfect to summer nightlife!
I love Havana!S2
