The truly "your skin but better" experience
This one is quiet difficult to describe. I am understanding now the reviews which were dissapointed at first but they end finding it quite sexy in time!

I have the roll-on version (very good quality, the ball is metallic). From the bottle, it smells very incensy. I like darker perfumes and I am in love with Habanita. My sister, who is more into citrics and florals, said it smells intense and with the black Habanita directly she chokes, it was too strong for her xD.
The aplication is a lemony blast. It smells like floral lemons. Then, it becomes literally transparent and I can't smell anything. At all. Then, if I sniff my arm, I can smell very lighthly something incensy, like if I have washed my arm with an Habanita soap and thats is what it remains. I was going to came here to rave. It was literally your skin but better, like if you werent wearing any perfume, just your recent washed skin. Sincerily I wasnt seeing the point of such a subtle perfume having the main version.

Then, a subtle but noticeable cloud of incense was around my arm. In this stage it last some more time and I think is their algid point. The Incense became more noticeable but it is always more your skin that emanates this misterious smell. Is a floral and very nice incense. My sister smelled my arm and she was very surprised, she loved it and couldnt believe it was the roll-on version because it smells strong to her! It is strange but although my fav snell is the sdxy dark conclnctuon, I can feel more sexy in this one because it is more misterious the effect of your skin, the og is in your face being misterious, like you are acting very femme-fatale on purpose, when this one is more sensual subtle.

In time it becomes soapier, like a white floral musky jasmin cream or something. I don't know where, but O swear is a very familiar smell to me and at the same time misterious. It is a little like a skin care cream, a little lemon cake, very clean musky floral. The colour of the bottle and the name are perfect. The smell is like Habanita, but she is white now, even transparent, like an spirit. I still prefer the black big sister, but this one is more versatile.

Hot - Cold , Clean - Dirty ...40 shades in Harmony

Very sensual and beautiful.
Definitely a very Musky ,
The Musk here is not clean neither dirty , but alternating.
You feel it as a clean in the opening but during the fragrance evolves it becomes a little dirty and getting a vintage vibe Musc vibe ,
And once you feel the dirty ambers part of the scent , some clean white Musc is returning back to the nose .

It’s a Developing fragrance for sure and someone can feel most of its notes .
There is no dominant here and you have a feeling like there is a same quantity of each one note inside ,
Nothing is coming out , nothing is hidden .
They are all there , like a beautiful painting where all the shades are in balanced in a harmony .

Comparing with the OG Habanita I would say it’s a very little similarity here ,
A sharpness and ambery vintage vibe , and only .

I own and adore 3 versions of Habanita and appreciate each one in it’s different way .

For sure the Lesprit is much easer to wear and smell for even not trained noses , this makes it a very safe blind buy .

The colour of the bottle for me is not representing the scent in 100% , maybe compared with the OG it is much lighter but not as white as it is ,
I would paint a bottle in powder pink or in skin beige as a NRodrigues did as it will be the best representation for the scent ,
But still the white is not bad choose for the fragrance, Matt surface is absolutely correct and represents its velvety and powdery character.

Absolutely unisex fragrance,
On my cold skin it’s getting more cold and sharp , with an untouched skin illusion , but on a male hot skin it would open in all its warm Beaty and sexy way .
The same would happen in cold winter months and a hot summer season .
It’s an easy fragrance- don’t be afraid to blind buy .

Synthetic musk done before
"Habanita L'Esprit" was launched in 2013, ten years after Narciso Rodriguez' best-selling fragrance from 2003. And to my great surprise, "Habanita L'Esprit" smells very similar to "Narciso R. Eau de Parfum". Those who know the Rogdriguez will now have an olfactory picture in their mind, those who don't will be glad to learn that "Habanita L'Esprit" has nothing to do with the old "Habanita". It's neither a "light" version of it nor can it be compared to the classic perfume by Molinard in terms of originality and impact. Yet "Habanita L'Esprit" is extremely loud, staying power is excellent and the strong musk places it in the category of those sexual heavies some people think they need to spray on to seduce the world around them. Loaded with the earthiness of patchouli, "L'Esprit" blends amber, rose and jasmine and then adds an animal note of synthetic musk to make things even "hotter". The resulting postion is musk, musk and musk - and very disappointing, because it is so close to Narciso Rodriguez who did the same thing 10 years ago (i.e. the perfumers Nagel and Kurdijan did). Worn with due discretion, this "Habanita L'Esprit" could be quite user-friendly, provided you like strong musky scents, of course. One bottle should last you a very long time.

Death by powder puff
A blonde-eyed almond-eyed beauty in a white-and-gold negligee makes the glamorous older sister with the dark soul. With the powder puff. The curtain falls, but the play goes on like this for hours. Powder wafts across the passage into the cold winter night.

Like washing your skin with an Habanita soap: incensy like the OG, but soapy lemony and musky jasmin
