Dua Fragrances: Honey Havane

Honey Havane was a blind buy for me.  I was intrigued by the notes in this oriental vanilla scent. 

Honey Havane opens with an absolutely beautiful, rich vanilla honey.  The honey is sweet but not overly sweet.  To my nose, it’s the cleanest and loveliest honey I’ve smelled in a fragrance.  If Winnie the Pooh were here there’d be no keeping this one safe!

The gourmand honey gains a complexity by the addition of tobacco leaf.  The tobacco is present just enough that you know it’s there but not so much that you feel this fragrance is “about” tobacco.  The tobacco is a lovely green tobacco. 

The base of this fragrance is comprised of a woody-musky-amber.  These notes also light and clean.  During the drydown, the spices, oud, musk and amber become more noticeable but the honey never disappears – it simply becomes lighter.  I get about 7 hours of wear from Honey Havane with a moderate projection which over time mellows to a very sexy skinscent.

“This beautifully sweet composition will launch your smell buds to cloud 9! The epic deliciousness of Honey Havane will make mouths water around you. Do not sleep on this masterpiece Dua Original Blend, it is as perfect as the finest fragrances on the planet. A gourmand for the ages.”

NOTES: Yemeni Honey Extract, Tobacco Leaf, Madagascan Vanilla, Cocoa, Spices, Indian Oud, Egyptian Musk, and Tunisian Amber.
