    What do reviewers say about Havana and Enigme?

    Old-school masculine that still knows how to make an entrance. The tobacco doesn't whisper, it occupies the room. If you're after something that asks nothing of you except confidence, this delivers.Havana
    This is one of those discontinued Pierre Cardin fragrances people keep stumbling onto and asking why this ever stopped being made. Alberto Morillas approached this like a real commission.Enigme
