When In Havana captures the warm, tobacco-forward character and creamy vanilla-honey sweetness of A*Men Pure Havane quite effectively. The base performance is solid with good patchouli and amber projection, though the original's labdanum and styrax complexity feels slightly smoothed over in the clone.
The clone delivers comparable longevity but with slightly less nuanced depth in the base notes; the original's French labdanum provides a more sophisticated, resinous quality that the Dua version approximates but doesn't fully replicate.
What people who wear Dua When In Havana report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“A delicious mix of A*Men and Naxos imo without the citrussy opening I have not smelled the original but i think its a good fragrance. I am not sure if its the batch I got but the performance is very poor after an hour or two the smell is very faint, even the Dua take of Ultra Zest has better performance than this one .7/10 - It would be a higher but the performance is a big letdown its almost as if its watered down.I will let it sit for couple weeks and see if it gets better.”
“Not a fan of DUA but I do like this one! It captures the original Pure Havane vibe very well and extends the mid a little while also boosting the performance. While this juice is more than double of the original by ml, boy oh boy, will it deliver.One spray is all I use, great longevity and projection (that no current formulation of Mugler can match). Check it out,one of few I would re-purchase from DUA.”
“Solid try to match Pure Havane but I get a very oil(nutty) vibe with their fragrances. I have 2...this one and the "when in killer Havane" which is a take on Pure Malt and Pure Havane.....I personally wouldnt purchase any more but with Pure Malt and Pure Havane both discontinued, I can undertstand why many would purchase this. Solid but not as good as the real thing.”
