An enthralling perfumed tableaux of wandering through the streets of Havana on a hot summer night. The smell of overripe mangoes, bruised and discarded, after a day spent wallowing in tropical heat mixes with golden, sun-cured tobacco leaves, caramelized brown sugar, freshly pressed espresso and vines of jasmine hanging overhead.
Perfumer Sarah McCartney finishes The Dark Heart of Old Havana on a base of a dark vanilla, tonka bean and feral musks that give this perfume such a swagger it should come with a parental advisory warning. This is a grown-up, adults-only fragrance, fully cognizant of its intoxicating allure.
Warning: Due to the colour of some of the naturals used in this fragrance, it may stain light coloured clothing.
