4160 Tuesdays The Dark Heart of Old Havana.
I reviewed this
fragrance in another group after I made the decision to purchase a full bottle
based on the sample I bought. (So I'm not going to do another full review
here.) I do want to say that I adore this juice. It transports me to what I
imagine Havana would be like for me. The air heady with the sweet scent of the
sugarcane crop; the fruit in the market stands; the wafts of coffee in the
early morning; and the men sitting smoking their cigars and playing dominoes
while the drinks flow like water.
"Based on Sarah McCartney's memories of a 1998 trip to
Cuba, The Dark Heart Of Old Havana is an all-night adventure through the
winding alleyways of the city that has long captivated literary imagination. McCartney
has loaded The Dark Heart with the fixtures of a Havana adventure: sugar,
tobacco, fruit, coffee, warm bodies, alcohol, exuberance, and recklessness, for
a scent that never sacrifices its adventurousness just to smell nice- but never
stops smelling nice, either.
McCartney's trip to Havana culminated in an impromptu onstage
tango performance at the legendary nightlife institution Caseron del Tango.
Where your own Havana adventure ends up is entirely up to you."
Notes: Sugar, tobacco,
fruit, coffee, alcohol.
