Les Indemodables Vanille Havane EDP
Description
Vanille Havane, composed by Antoine Lie for Les Indémodables in 2020, is a mature, smoky-sweet amber built on tobacco leaf, cacao and rum. Vanilla, dried fruits and a dark floral heart soften into an ambery-leather base, giving it a cigar-lounge warmth rather than a dessert-like sweetness.
Scent Character
No official percentage accord breakdown has been published for this fragrance. Reviewers describe its dominant character as Amber Vanilla: tobacco, rum and dried fruit sit over cocoa and dark florals, finished with an ambery-leather base, restrained and smoky rather than sweet and gourmand.
