Havana: Buy blind and get lucky, I bought it as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loved it. I didn’t miss, the trail is incredible, one spray is enough, and the longevity is top-notch. But the scent… hold on, I fell in love. It transported me back to the city that saw me born, the one I miss every day. I never thought tobacco could sound so good in a perfume like this. I asked my husband what it made him feel and he said: ‘It makes me feel HABANERO.’ That was more than enough. Those who know Havana know what it’s like to wear it; the basil note caught me along with the tobacco. It’s a fragrance that takes you away, different, reminding me of the city and a mature man (mind you, mature doesn’t mean old) and elegant, daring, and a conqueror. At first it might seem strong, so don’t overdo it. Well done Aramis, you nailed it.
Havana, blind buy, and a gift for my husband, what joy not to be wrong. It has great sillage, a single strike is enough, the fixation is good, but the scent… hold on, I loved it. It transported me to the city that saw me born, the one I miss every day. I never thought tobacco could feel this good. I asked my husband what it made him feel and he replied: ‘it makes me feel habanero,’ and that was more than enough. Those who know Havana know what it’s like to wear this perfume; the basil and tobacco stand out, but it’s a transporting fragrance, different, that reminds you of a mature man (mind you, mature doesn’t mean old) and elegant, bold, and conquering. At first it may seem strong, so don’t overdo it. Well done by Aramis, they got it right.
A total success, pity they discontinued it. Overwhelming for women, masculine, serious, and strong. One of the best.
I was blown away by the Olorami review. It’s a worthy tribute to Havana, using Caribbean ingredients, and it’s like a 212 by Carolina Herrera but for Caracas. I love it more than the 1996 Reserve, which is too heavy and strong for the tropics. This 1994 gem is a delightful aromatic citrus experience from start to finish. That basil is glorious! The tobacco is delicate, reminiscent of Florestan’s Feuille de Tabac. The woody base is a hit. Ideal for summer, with moderate longevity and sillage. Recommended for those over 30, with no expiration date. Sincerely, it’s a fragrance to love. P.S.: When I can, I’ll convert my 7ml miniature into a 100ml bottle.
I have the old bottle, what luck. Another Aramis classic.
Delicious perfume, with good longevity and medium projection. The notes blend perfectly and nothing feels synthetic. I loved the purchase and it’s still easily available online.
A great perfume: masculine and powerful. It’s not a monster, but it projects very well and its longevity exceeds ten hours. A blend of sparkling and robust notes where leather and tobacco predominate. Blue sky, palm trees, and fun. It’s recommended to apply it generously and with joy so its virtues shine without being intrusive. A masterpiece. It’s not for those seeking discreet, aquatic, or unisex fragrances.
Classic perfumery from the early 80s; this Havana aroma is what it evokes for me. It was a blind buy and I have no regrets; forgive my ignorance, which is cruel and abundant, but it brings me distant memories of another treasure I own that will never be missing: Van Cleef Pour Homme. The Aramis one is more wearable, less intrusive, less potent, and with less longevity, but there is a similarity in the scent. Far from modern perfumery concepts, but attractive from my point of view and very masculine.
What a gem! And you can get it for less than $20. A scent that automatically transports you to another era and place. Upon applying it, you feel like the man in the ad photo (by the way, one of the best graphic ads I’ve ever seen in my life).
Powerful and intoxicating. With exotic essences of Havana that transport you to soft nights of palm trees, rum, and beautiful women.
AHH, perfumes are like life: stages, lessons, and memories. This smells like a freshly showered and shaved mature man, with a floral-spicy vibe (think Old Spice) and a Cuban cigar. The opening is spicy and brutal, as if a thousand spices are shouting ‘here I am’; it lasts a few minutes before yielding to a heart note of rough tobacco, a bit of heat, sweetness, and a tear-jerking quality. You want this person sitting across from you during a coffee chat—the grandfather or father who is no longer here—to talk about this lost treasure: it costs $20 on paper, but emotionally it’s infinite. As it dries down, an exquisite creaminess takes over, more floral and skin-hugging; if it had the projection of its heart phase, it would be perfect. It’s a gift from capitalism, from socialism, from Aramis (not the pathetic Santa Claus version), hard to find, but if you get it, don’t be rude: it’s for chatting with your ancestors or mentally traveling to Havana or Miami, streets full of flowers, pots of green basil, cloves, cinnamon, and stocky mulatto men smoking handmade ‘canotazo’ cigars on a Saturday morning.
I don’t like the opening. Initially, I feel like I’m in an old house, an old office, or opened a wooden wardrobe from the 50s. Specific sensations I like but that in this case don’t quite work for me. The wood scent is not aged wood, but almost rotten. A damp and soft smell I don’t like at all… But this lasts only a few minutes, patience… Then, once it settles, a soft, dry, and slightly bitter tobacco scent emerges that I love. A scent like the memory left by tobacco that was there, in a box or drawer, stored in the past and still retains that smell, soft, distant, but perfectly perceptible. It’s a noble and retro scent, unequivocally masculine, nothing to do with current trends. It’s discreet, not intrusive, and has medium-low longevity. People who have smelled it on me associate its scent with past eras and consider it a ‘conservative’ perfume, more suitable for older men, suggesting seriousness.
How happy I feel every time I put on Aramis Havana. When I see another bottle of this magnificent perfume in the great Libertad market (San Juan de Dios, Guadalajara, Mexico), in one of the hidden stalls in its depths, I will buy it again without a doubt. Those perfumeries inside the market keep lost jewels like Jazz, Opium, Rive Gauche… Havana: I will find you and take you with me.
I had to do several tests over consecutive days to get used to ARAMIS HAVANA, as its scent is hard to assimilate. Its olfactory family is Fougère in its purest state. The first few times, a tremendous animalic opening, unpleasant, reminiscent of a chicken coop, sour and bitter. But in subsequent tests, that detection disappeared; I deduce my nose familiarized itself with new notes for my brain. What I perceive now is an uncompromising forest tone, and I suspect notes are missing from the description due to its complexity. Those tough, strong, sour, and round tones could well arise from a blend of absinthe, caraway, basil, tobacco, and oakmoss, producing a smell similar to stagnant water ponds where leaves degrade with water and earth, exhaling humus, mulch, and acidic soil, but with deep attraction from the very bowels of mother earth and nature. ARAMIS HAVANA is a complicated fragrance to adapt to nuances so far removed from what exists today, and it’s miraculous that it’s still being made. Surely in 1994 it was stronger and more imposing, but currently it would still delight those gentlemen in impeccable alpaca suits, courteous manners, blonde tobacco, aged whisky, pomade in the hair, and a perfectly pressed part, with a sober gaze and reserved gesture.
It’s a classic; you can’t criticize something used for decades that actually works. The issue might be age, but it’s a well-made spiced oriental. Strong, alcoholic, and penetrating opening. What stands out most? Tobacco, moss, and patchouli. Don’t expect an Invictus here. Does it remind you of anything? Yes, Montana, Giorgio Beverly, maybe an Oscar de la Renta. Literally an Old School barber shop style. What’s the novelty? The tobacco note; it’s not like Burberry London, it’s more aggressive and the boat carrying it is rough. Scent 8, Longevity 8, Projection 9, Price 10.

A hard-to-find jewel. The advertising concept, a young adult man owning a tobacco plantation in a white linen suit and elegant hat, enjoying the breeze while perfumed, is clear on who it’s for. A scent of tobacco leaves in their purest and most fantastic state, with liquor-like notes of cured tobacco mixing with basil (reminds me of Jaguar Classic) and caraway or cumin (reminds me of Kouros). It’s a complex and beautiful scent, not for beginners or kids. It also reminds me a lot of Halston’s Catalyst for Men, but this one is more forest tobacco, less floral. In short, for those seeking jewels, it’s mandatory in your closet. Note: Longevity 9, Bottle 7, Quality 9, Duration 10 hours.
A true beauty this Havana. Despite being old school, it seems very wearable because it’s perfectly balanced. It has just the right sweetness to balance the green notes and tobacco, and the perfect projection to create an aura without being overwhelming. It lasts a good 8 or 9 hours. Even though it’s different, I think it shares the spirit of Azzaro pour Homme: that ‘calm’ elegance, with a touch of sweetness brought in by anise in Azzaro and to a lesser extent amber, and in Havana thanks to a cinnamon note. The quality-price ratio is so good it makes some big houses blush. It’s very well made, almost perfect for me, a must-have in any collection, and a candidate for blind buy if you’re into ‘old school’ proposals. All my respect to Aramis and this classic that survives against all odds.

I can’t handle this. The opening is an explosion of harsh alcohol all over the face, unpleasant. Once it dries down, a very faint and undefined spicy scent emerges. Of the declared notes, what most resembles it to me is patchouli and caraway, filling in the gaps with imagination. As for the tobacco note, nothing. It feels like it’s trying to recreate it by mixing spices and patchouli to mimic tobacco leaf. I’ve tried it 3 times with 3 new 100ml bottles. I’ve never heard the vintage, which people speak wonders about. That said, the new version is cheap. The little bit that lasts is interesting, very dry and totally old-school, but unfortunately, it fades into negligible quality, feeling very chemical with abysmal performance; nothing detectable after 6-7 sprays by hour one. A shame.
I can’t stand this. The opening is an explosion of alcohol all over the face. Unpleasant. When it dries down, a very faint and undefined spicy scent appears. Of the declared notes, what comes closest to me is patchouli and caraway, using some imagination. As for the tobacco note, nothing at all. It feels like it’s trying to recreate it by mixing those spices with patchouli to mimic the leaf. I’ve tried it 3 times with 3 new 100ml bottles from the website format. I’ve never heard the vintage, which people talk about with wonder. That said, the new one is very cheap. The little I can smell is interesting, very dry, and totally old school, but unfortunately it dissolves into poor quality, smelling very chemical with abysmal performance; nothing detectable after 1 hour with 6-7 sprays. What a pity.
SCENT: EXCELLENT. PROJECTILE: VERY GOOD. LONGEVITY: VERY GOOD. QUALITY: EXCELLENT. BLIND BUY: ABSOLUTE. 9/10. NO DOUBTS. If you want to know what it smells like, it smells like a fine cigar with a leather touch and a spectacular citrus note. A masterpiece.
SCENT: EXCELLENT. PROJECTION: VERY GOOD. LONGEVITY: VERY GOOD. QUALITY: EXCELLENT. BLIND BUY: YES, YES, YES. 9/10. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY IT. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT SMELLS LIKE, IT SMELLS LIKE A GOOD CIGAR WITH A LEATHER TOUCH AND A SPECTACULAR CITRUS NOTE. MASTERPIECE.
Refined and exquisite tobacco wrapped in notes I can’t quite identify, yet they make it elegant and versatile, easy to wear… a safe bet.
Aramis Havana, a classic fragrance from the Aramis line, pure alpha male territory. Your girlfriend, wife, or lover won’t want to wear it. With notes of tangerine, tobacco, patchouli, and oakmoss, it has nothing to do with those unisex fragrances of today. The good: potent, with a strong, non-sweet tobacco, and those patchouli and oakmoss notes that scream the personality of the wearer. Potent, very masculine, and affordable, it’s a must-have in any collection, especially if you’re a tobacco lover. The bad: it’s not easy to find even though it’s not discontinued, and certainly, this isn’t for kids. A must-have for fragrance lovers.
Aramis Havana is the king of the classic line, pure alpha male essence. Forget about what your partner might want; with its strong mandarin, tobacco, patchouli, and oakmoss, it has nothing to do with today’s unisex fragrances. The good: it’s potent, featuring that sharp, non-sweet tobacco, and those notes of patchouli and oakmoss scream personality. Potent, very masculine, and a great price, it’s a must-have if you like tobacco. The bad: it’s hard to find, even if not discontinued, and this isn’t for kids. A must-have for perfume lovers.
Aramis Havana vintage smells like the 90s nights: turbo Fiat Coupe, Lancia Delta Integrale, Renault Clio Williams. Sports cars of the era for party nights, intertwined with a desire for freedom and breaking boundaries. It was Alex’s perfume, a likable rogue for whom no conquest was impossible. The 90s nights were unique: transgression, creativity, new encounters, kisses, and instant crushes. If you missed one night, you missed it forever. No revenge the following Saturday. Cathedrals of music as temples of fun and excess. Crossing the safety lines meant entering a world where dreams became reality. Incredible journeys, sometimes hundreds of kilometers, life at full speed without losing the essentials. Aramis Havana is a rebellious men’s fragrance that evolves into a gentle wear. It smells great, not a powerhouse, but has good projection. Havana starts big with a dissonant explosion of citrus spices, herbs, and berries. It’s a very masculine puree beer, a tumultuous but effective initial accord. This opening lasts about 50 minutes before becoming comfortable. The tobacco note in the heart isn’t conventional, but it hints at it and blends perfectly with clove and cinnamon, the soul of Havana. The only downside is that it loses projection after the initial burst of about two hours, leaving 7-8 hours of persistence. The base is a quiet mix of wood, moss, and earth; I get more vetiver and oak moss than sandalwood or patchouli, but together they close very well despite losing volume. I haven’t tried the modern version, but based on what @Drakecito says, I don’t think I’d lose much.
I love it. I’d summarize it as clove, cinnamon, and tobacco. It fades to skin scent quickly but has great longevity.
I like Aramis, but among their men’s scents, Havana is the one I’ve liked the least. It’s not bad, but I wouldn’t rank it in the top two. It opens strong with caraway, amplified by alcohol and barely touched by an instant citrus note. You get herbal absinthe, but it doesn’t change the animalic body of the caraway, which can be unpleasant for those used to modern, nature-inspired scents rather than sweet ones. The development is complex: tobacco with spices and a floral touch that doesn’t soften, but announces the soapy base. In short: aromatized tobacco with a masculine intent, ideal for hot environments if you have good hygiene. Well-crafted, fitting name. Acceptable longevity and projection, hard to find in stores, buy blind. Maybe it’s for older people, but that’s personality, depth, and experience.
Spectacular longevity, an old-school scent only for lovers of 80s perfumes. Strength and power, nothing like current trends. A luxury to enjoy this classic without spending a fortune.
Lasts 24 hours on my skin even after showering. Old-school masculine: dry and strong. In my cold climate, I wear it almost year-round.
Cheap and wonderful. Incredible patchouli and moss. They must have discontinued it due to IFRA regulations, otherwise, it makes no sense.
The best fragrance I’ve smelled in years. It never stops giving off scent; it’s long-lasting yet discreet. I have the vintage turquoise bottle, and it’s still perfect today: sweet tobacco and masculine.
Eighties tobacco: sweet and spectacular, with moss and orange notes. Nothing like the cloying stuff of today; it’s masculine, long-lasting, and not overly potent. Reminds me of 70s Robert Redford.
A macho powerhouse, straight out of an XXX movie. Pure personality and a rich scent that awakens passions.
To me, it’s pure sex. Dense, dark, and sweet, with a strong presence and a youthful refinement that seduces instantly.
