What do reviewers say about Havana and Open?
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 a tobacco-citrus composition that actually earns its 1985 vintage. Not the fragrance that fills a room, it knows when to step back. Moderate sillage, but the drydown lasts and lasts.Open
