Habanita by the historic French perfume house Molinard (Paris - Grasse)

Step back into the opulence of 1921 with a true masterpiece of French haute parfumerie. Presented in its coveted, original vintage white and gold embossed presentation box, this rare bottle of Habanita by Molinard (Grasse/Paris) is the epitome of liquid history.

Originally created during the Jazz Age to scent women’s cigarettes before evolving into a personal perfume in 1924, Habanita completely redefined femininity. It shattered boundaries by introducing rich, masculine vetiver to the female olfactory world, serving as the ultimate fragrant symbol of liberation, mystery, and effortless luxury.

The Olfactory Journey

This pristine vintage formula offers a depth, complexity, and soul that modern reformulations simply cannot replicate. It opens with an intriguing whisper of bitter orange petitgrain and powdery geranium, melting into a magnificent, velvety heart of centifolia rose, jasmine, and exotic ylang-ylang. The true magic, however, lies in its legendary dry-down—a dark, intoxicating, and seductive base of rich Mysore sandalwood, smoky leather, amber, and earthy oakmoss.

A Rare, Discontinued Treasure

Collector’s Note: While contemporary iterations of Habanita exist today in modern black bottles, this specific vintage pure perfume formulation, packaged in the signature white and gold crest box, has been long discontinued. To find a bottle with such incredible clarity, rich amber color, and beautifully preserved packaging is an absolute rarity.

Whether displayed alongside your finest antique gold jewellery or worn as your signature evening scent, this bottle brings an unrivaled touch of historic glamour to any vanity.
