Korean Perfumery: How K-Beauty Came to Fragrances
At first, the world fell in love with Korean creams and sheet masks. Then it was the turn of scent, ...
Zodiac Havana is a men's fragrance released in 2023 by Zodiac, a perfume brand from the UAE.
The composition is presented as an eau de parfum, combining the expressive freshness of citrus fruits with spicy warmth and deep woody-balsamic nuances.
The name Havana gives the fragrance a distinctive mood: energetic, rich and attention-grabbing.
This is not a light aquatic fragrance for everyday wear, but a denser, more distinctive option for a man who appreciates long-lasting compositions with a bright opening and a confident trail.
The main feature of Zodiac Havana is the contrast between sparkling freshness and warm, spicy depth.
The impression gradually changes: at first, the fragrance feels vibrant and sunny, then it becomes softer, spicier and more composed, finally leaving behind a rich woody-balsamic trail.
The stated sillage is very strong, making the fragrance especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, walks, dates or events.
In summer and in small spaces, it is best to be cautious with the dosage: the eau de parfum has noticeable intensity and can quickly fill a room.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to start with a moderate amount.
One or two sprays on the warm areas of the skin are sufficient. When applying it to clothing, it is better to limit yourself to a single spray from a distance, after first checking how the fragrance behaves on the fabric.
On the skin, Zodiac Havana will smell livelier and more dimensional, developing gradually under the influence of body heat.
On clothing, the trail may last longer and feel more intense, so this application method is suitable for those who prefer an especially long-lasting and noticeable scent.
No separate collection has been specified for this release.
At the same time, the fragrance reflects the direction of the Zodiac brand well: masculine and unisex eau de parfum compositions with an expressive presentation and an emphasis on a rich development.
The perfumer who created Zodiac Havana is not identified in the available information.
Therefore, the composition is best described through its olfactive profile: citrus freshness, spicy energy and smoky woody depth.
If you are interested in rich oriental compositions with noticeable sillage, consider Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute.
As alternatives, Ard Al Zaafaran Saheb Intense and Athena Fragrances Zeno are also worth considering. They offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of a spicy, warm and expressive masculine scent.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The top notes open the composition with a fresh citrus accord combining Calabrian bergamot, citron and orange.
Their sparkling character creates an invigorating opening and gives the fragrance a sunny mood.
Cinnamon, ginger and neroli unfold at the heart. The spicy notes add warmth and character to the composition, while neroli softens them with a delicate floral nuance.
The base is built around black tea, incense and guaiac wood.
Black tea gives the drydown a dry, refined character, incense adds smoky depth, and guaiac wood creates a dense woody accent.
Overall, the Zodiac Havana fragrance pyramid belongs to the citrus-spicy family, with balsamic, beverage-like, floral and woody facets.
On the skin, the fragrance evolves from a fresh, radiant opening into a warm, rich and highly noticeable trail.
