La Habana Candle
Known as a playground for the mafia and wealthy elite, Havana in the mid-1900s hosted many vibrant music venues like the Tropicana or the members' guild Buena Vista Social Club. The rhythmic pulsations of Habanera, Latin Jazz, and Salsa, which were heard everywhere, coupled with the dazzling showgirls, added to the tropical island's allure. After the revolution in 1959, many establishments closed down, and with that, an era in Havana came to an end. The scent La Habana by 19-69 shines a light on the golden musical era of Cuba, spanning the 1930s to the 1950s.
An aromatic, smoky, and alluring fragrance.
