"Habanita Eau de Parfum is Molinard’s 2012 modern eau de parfum interpretation of its legendary Habanita name, originally tied to the house’s 1921 classic. The scent preserves the dark, powdery, smoky-oriental personality associated with Habanita while presenting a fresher and more contemporary structure. Its fragrance profile moves from aromatic-green and lightly floral facets into a spicy, woody, powdery heart before settling into a resinous, balsamic, sandalwood-amber base. Reviews consistently describe it as bold, elegant, vintage-leaning, and strongly characterful rather than conventionally easy or youthful. It is frequently appreciated for its androgynous edge, incense-smoke impression, and old-school glamour. Within Molinard’s catalogue, it functions as both a heritage revival and a modernized wardrobe update for one of the brand’s signature perfumes."

Reviews Summary

“This reformulated Eau de Toilette is generally perceived as less dry and less naturally textured than the earlier profile, with a clearer synthetic edge. It still reads as recognizably Habanita, but feels lighter, smoother, and less smoky in comparison.”
