Description

The first fragrance by Molinard, the famous Habanita, was presented in 1921, known for its oriental character dominated by ingredients of vetiver and over 680 different ingredients. It is known that the original was reformulated in 1988. The modern reinterpretation of the original in a new bottle and new, stronger concentration – Habanita Eau de Parfum was released in 2012, followed by Habanita L’Esprit edition in 2013. Habanita La Cologne launches mid April 2016.

Bold, audacious and unique Habanita is presented in a fresher and bubblier way in the new La Cologne edition. Youthful, fearless and sleek, Habanita La Cologne supposedly embodies sensuality on edge. The top notes mix citruses of lemon and bergamot with spicy nutmeg. The heart is floral and woody, with accords of rose, violet, ylang-ylang and rosewood. Vetiver, oak moss, cedar and amber end the composition.

It is available in a bottle of 75 ml.

    One of the best openings of a freshie in this price range I have smelled in ages if not ever! WOW!! Stunning beauty for a “fresh” style fragrance! I’m a Habanita nut and could not possibly be more delighted with the La Cologne version. It’s like Habanita only lighter and fresher, fruitier with a dose of delicious lemon, but still has a creaminess and lots of powder and florals. I get a lot of violet which comes across as iris a bit and the rose combined with the violet and powder gives it a makeup like feel in the dry down. The fragrance is just beautiful and while it has Habinita DNA, it’s so different I could see it working for people who don’t even like Habanita, while still pleasing those who do. This ranks up there with Eau de Shalimar as one of my favorite fresher version of a heavier classic fragrance. For me, this is greatly superior to L’Esprit but realize all tastes are different. For me, for this style of fragrance, it’s 5 stars!!!

    Tout comme Cuir du même Molinard, la Cologne Habanita a été un achat compulsif, à l’aveugle, parfaitement réussi.
    Et ce n’est pas vraiment une cologne, selon moi, car on n’a pas cet effet fusant et fugace des agrumes, mais il y a une fraîcheur épicée, lumineuse, qui laisse place au fond présent et baumé d’Habanita…
    Parfaite pour les journées ensoleillées, en chemise de lin et panama. Et s’associe très bien à l’EDP, portée sur peau et celle-ci vaporisée sur tissus pour encore plus de sillage.
    A recommander!

    Beautiful. So beautiful that I can hardly find words to describe it.
    The opening is just stunning. Of a perfect, matchless beauty. A mixture of all sorts of beautiful things. It makes almost to cry. It makes to think about those beautiful moments in the past that we let to flee without knowing they were. Like those moments, in Goethe’s Faust, that make us to say: “Stay here, you make life beautiful”. It is like one of those moments comming back.
    Slowly, the smell starts to change, and by this point, it smells like a baby. Like a cute, clean baby. So tender. So delicate. So innocent. It recalls Johnson’s Baby Oil, but do not think it smells cheap or trivial at all. Perhaps that is the reason because I say it smells like a baby.
    Then, it evolves to something a bit more common, like a mixture of aldehydes, flowers, talc and a tiny bit of pipe tobacco, but not for this more vulgar or ugly. It recalls indeed vintage fragances, like Chanel Nº5 or Myrurgia Maderas de Oriente, but it never smells rancid or dated. I would call timeless. It is just what Chanel Nº 5 L’Eau should have been.
    Sillage and lasting power are really very good. It feels all the time very soft and delicate, never intrussive, but clearly noticeable and with a very good performance.
    The flacon is a piece of art.
    This thing is so, so beautiful that, in my opinion, it would be cruel to limit its use to certain people, to certain age range or to certain situations.
    Sadly, its high price puts it very far away from the reach of common mortals.

    This isn’t a full review as I find it difficult to define this scent. I have a bottle of EDC which is the same shape as the “anniversary” bottles made between 2005-2012 except it is clear rather than black – confusing as I have only seen one picture of this bottle on the internet, and it says the EDC wasn’t produced until 2016? Can anyone clear up my confusion here? If I had to describe it I would say it was quite pungent; smelling of worn leather with a hint of sweet tobacco, and maybe vetiver / slightly medicinal Ylang. It is very distinctive but I would not describe this cologne as citrussy, fruity or floral. It would not be mistaken for any other scent I have smelled. It puts me in mind of being in a vintage car with leather seats, maybe with my grandparents – she’s wearing subltle powdery violets and he has a dash of old spice on (the nutmeg being distinctive).

    As the previous review said, this is very close to the EDP. HOWEVER… not close or not different enough, I can’t quite make my mind up.
    For my personal taste this version is just too sweet/fruity. It opens quite sweet and on me the scent changes from sweet flowery in a warm environment to a more heavy, familiar Habanita in the cold depending on the temperature of my surroundings, it still stays too sweet for me to utterly love it. By all means, it’s not a sweet shop jam jar smell but it’s leaning towards something I’m simply not that keen on.
    I fell in love with Habanita and Habanita l’esprit and felt like I had to have this one too. As I couldn’t find anywhere to sample it, just like the other versions of Habanita this was a blind buy. I don’t regret it, but I don’t consider Cologne to be as special as the EDP or L’esprit, so I’m using cologne for work, when I want Habanita but consider the EDP to be too heavy.

    Very close interpretation of the EDP for me. The opening is weirdly fruity and sweet, but it goes away quickly (*relief*).
    The whole fragrance has the same basic DNA as other members of the Habanita family, but it’s lighter of course. This “cologne” version is not as smoky and dramatic as the EDP. It’s more floral and powdery. For most of its development, it’s all about iris and rose on a soft woody base (at least on me). I really like it. Habanita La Cologne almost has a lipstick-like quality on me, and I love lipstick fragrances !
    Performance is comparable to an average EDT : soft to moderate sillage, decent longevity. In that particular case, “Cologne” just refers to the style of the fragrance, not its overall performance.
    So far, I still prefer the EDP over this. They just have very different styles despite having many similar notes, so pick your favorite !
