At the heart of the Roaring Twenties, the birth of a legendary fragrance... 1921, a year marked by a veritable olfactory feat that became an icon of French Haute Parfumerie. A revolutionary, scandalous fragrance, Habanita heralded the emancipation of women. Its hint of vetiver, previously reserved for men, seduced women in their quest for freedom. Initially presented in small sachets designed to be slipped into women's cigarette packs to cover up the smell of tobacco, Habanita established itself as the first feminine oriental in history and paved the way for a new olfactory family: orientals.
