If you like Issey for Men by Issey Miyake, you're going to LOVE Havana by Aramis. It is a very sharp and spicy men's fragrance that is totally unique and one-of-a-kind! It smells wonderful and it lasts all day! Smells just like the original in the blue conga-drum-shaped bottle. This is great for casual or formal use. It is definitely in my Top 10 fragrances, and I hope they NEVER discontinue it, it is just THAT GREAT! Try it, you'll absolutely LOVE IT! has definitely now become a classic!

Just had a big "scent memory" moment with Havana that I would like to share : ). I've been using Havana for a couple of weeks now and it has had a familiarity that I just couldn't pinpoint until now. Have you noticed all of the posts on this scent referring to a soapy dry down smell . . . ever used Dial Gold soap? If you have and still have a bar, spray a wrist with Havana and give it a few minutes to dry down and then sniff it and then the gold Dial. Pretty close, huh?! Loved Dial Gold while growing up and in my opinion, there is no cleaner, longer lasting "old school" smelling soap and Aramis Havana shares the same scent profile, but even smells twice as good as the soap because it must use higher quality ingredients. Now I can spray on a higher quality version onto my skin anytime and get that same spicy soap freshness! I think it's notes of cinnamon, patchouli, orange, oakmoss, and vetiver that are most responsible for the smell. I am definitely going to get a lot of use from Havana and what a bargain it is! Following are two quotes that explain why sent is linked to memory: " Smell and Memory. The sense of smell is closely linked with memory, probably more so than any of our other senses. Those with full olfactory function may be able to think of smells that evoke particular memories; the scent of an orchard in blossom conjuring up recollections of a childhood picnic, for example" - from Psychology and Smell - Fifth Sense "One reason this might be has to do with the way your brain processes odors and memories. Smells get routed through your olfactory bulb, which the smell-analyzing region in your brain. It's closely connected to your amygdala and hippocampus, brain regions that handle memory and emotion" - from Why Sense of Smells Can Trigger Strong Memories - Dr. Mercola
