Havana Feeling: "Rum and Coca-Cola"
How the hell does the cola get into this fragrance?
Actually, the liquid in the vial should be dark brown and sticky, instead of so harmlessly clear.
Every serious fragrance lover should stop reading now, because this will be a hymn of praise for a crazy yet very sophisticated composition!
"Cuba Libre" in a spray: I can't believe it!
Yatagan really knew what he was doing when he included this sampler in the fragrance letter for me. He knows me well!
I grinned from ear to ear, once the initial astonishment wore off.
And I'm grinning again: this summer scent is simply insane!
It's no secret that I have a preference for long drinks, especially under the stars; whether on hotel terraces or bars "with outdoor seating," as they now beautifully say.
I actually prefer gin-based drinks, which can be beautifully flavored and colored with the right syrup: of course with little umbrellas and straws!
But for "Parfums de Havane - Severo" by Jacques Zolty, I'm happy to make an exception.
The classic "Cuba Libre" recipe can be found in the fragrance opening:
Cola, sweet and sticky, fresh lime juice, and a good portion of dark honey-colored rum!
It continues with sophistication:
Davana, here not only spreading a light dried plum note but also a subtle rum note, fits perfectly with this opening.
A pinch of pepper adds extra fire, and the bitter birch nuance slightly tames the sweetness created by the cola.
"Severo" still feels a bit sticky; or was the sample sip already too much?
What would a tropical night be without the warm sensuality that crackles through it?
Once again, lazy creamy vanilla and white musk, interspersed with amber's resinous-spicy radiance, provide that.
This entertaining fragrance cocktail needs no more; it speaks for itself!
Thus, this fragrance creation conjures up vivid images of warm nights, beautiful women, smart men (who would all love to see themselves as James Bond), and a lifestyle known only by the South or the tropics.
"Parfums de Havane - Severo" delivers a short trip to Havana right along with it: lively, exuberant, not averse to "a little flirtation," and guaranteed without a heavy head the next morning!
This fragrance belongs to one of those summer night parties; here it can develop and express its very special charm.
For here it shows once again that the world of fragrances doesn't always have to be serious; a little wink can definitely be part of it.
And to that, I raise my glass!

I've been to the perfume store to test it at least 100 times - before Corona - and after the 101st test, I finally bought the scent - much to the relief of the entire sales team at the perfume shop - and I haven't regretted it. At first, I thought, who wants to smell like cola and rum? My daughter was totally thrilled when she sniffed me, and she also loves to take a spritz...

Hey, someone's playing my song! ;-)
