The gloomy cave
Interesting smell for people with personality.
It reminded me a lot in a note of Ellen Covey's bat but in this case without the fruity tropical-banana touch.
That earthy smell has a very consistent and broad background, relatively animalic, somewhat woody in a resinous and oud sense.
As the hours go by, that earthy and humid smell, really of a humid cave, "evaporates" and gives way to the resinous woody background.
It has a fairly good performance but only on skin, it is not particularly outstanding on silage and projection. I would say that in a couple of hours it doesn't separate much from the skin anymore.
It is a difficult smell to assimilate for most surely.
For the lords of the night it is perfectly suitable and I am sure they will love it.

Original combo
For me the name describes very well what it smells like.
It is an original combination, or at least I do not know of another similar one.
I would not mention the citrus part as predominant but as a reinforcement to make it more interesting and subtract from the gourmand style.
It is very nice and suitable for dressing elegantly, but unfortunately its projection and silage is non-existent.
On skin it has a very moderate lasting, in my case it hasn't passed 4-5 hours and you have to stick your nose to be able to smell it.

Cake fruit with flowers adornment
It is an elegant gourmand fragrance.
I would define it as a sweet dessert in the style of a puff pastry tart, cream, chocolate and fruit...
However, it does not have a smell that can be cloying and can be dressed perfectly.
It has an interesting duration on the skin, I would say 12 hours or more, but its projection and trail are very limited, it separates from the skin for a few minutes after being applied and never again.
So considering this, it is interesting to get people close to your skin to sniff you again and again, if you find it desirable.
Because I'd say it's easy to like and I'd be one to give compliments if people could smell it, but they won't unless they're 10cm from your skin.
Taking into account its high cost and the characteristics of its smell (for me, nothing with excessive personality/creativity) together with its performance... I don't think I would recommend it.

Summer scent for the oud lovers
It is a very interesting perfume combination, not very common but not so complicated to design either.
In short, it is basically a "very citric" orange, not bitter or sweet, like a tangerine, but rather fresh-citric: sour, acid...
And then a very solid base with an animalic scent, but relatively woody, I would say that it has oud although I haven't seen it in the notes, it's like that width at the bottom and that body I only imagine from the oud, and more knowing the house that he has done.
Papillon has Salomé which is not that citrusy and it has Bengale Rouge which is, but it has a powerful note of cinnamon added to it, being more animalic than leathery-woody in its background, and much weaker than in Orange Cordue.
I would say this combination of notes is very versatile.
It would be the summer perfume for oud lovers.
It's elegant, it's sensual, it's fresh and easy to handle... and without being extremely strange smells, it's an original combination that at the same time is one that many people like.
The only weak point is projection and strength. Obviously it is not as weak as Santal Segar in this house, but it certainly does not reach the power and presence of Oud Damascena, which continues to be the best of Katana for me.

Havana never will be rum smell again
I personally would never have associated Havana with this smell.
It is a fresh scent at first, but only at first, and I don't know what it smells like but it is very pleasant, relatively sweet that gives a fruity but balsamic sensation in a certain way.
Afterwards, I perceive with great force a completely realistic coffee smell and that note dominates most of the time that the perfume is perceived.
There are other things in the background that give it more body and amplitude, but secondarily, I can't say that there is leather, wood and amber that are perceived in any other way than giving more "thickness" to the composition.
It seems to me a quite original and versatile approach for times of the day and times of the year. A good balance between fresh and dark.
When it comes to performance, it seems low for my taste and for the type of smell it is.
