Since 2004, I have been a huge fan of the Havana scent by Archipelago Botanicals. My very first one was purchased from Belles Choses in Atlanta. I was hooked.
I used these candles so often that when we sold our den sofa in 2006 the new owner (BFF Amanda of Dixie Delights) called to say that every time she walked into her basement living area, she still smelled the delightful scent of our home. The smell reminded her of our home. Intoxicatingly pleasant!
The scent is described as a blend of bergamot, tobacco leaf and ylang ylang.
KNOCK OFF ALERT!!!
Let me share a secret with you. If there is a Steinmart near you, the store carries a line of candles called Botanique Aromatherapy. Plantation is the exact same scent of bergamot, tobacco leaf, and ylang ylang, only cheaper in price. I love the jar candle which sells for only $12.99 compared to the original which sells for $17.50 or so.
I often pick up the diffuser when I am at Steinmart. I am quite OCD that I rarely ever use the containers that come with any diffuser set. I usually despise the labels and decoration. I often pour the contents into more vintage-type vessels. Step outside the box.
Get yours soon. You will not be disappointed.

The scent of Havana, y’all!
Love Havana. Your signature scent for sure. I miss that lovely scented sofa... xoxo
ReplyDeleteGoing to have to get one of those--love great smelling candles! :)
ReplyDeleteWell phooey! I bought Plantation - no Havana in my Steinie! Citron, Fleur, and another but NO Havana!
ReplyDeleteLove love love that scent, as well! Won't shop at my SM as the manager is a jerk...ohwell, other SM's to go to!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your scent!! Am having difficulties with Stein Mart myself (29209). Stein Mart near my home seems to be slacking off on quality products. Stein Mart does not seem to have any WONDERFUL scents any longer.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a wonderful effort on your part to US, if you could(?) contact the head buyer or the head of Stein Mart and convey some of the complaints. It seems that not patronizing the neighborhood Stein Mart is not sending the correct message to the powers that be in Corporate-head quarters at Stein Mart.
That small little effort would certainly endear YOU and HAVANA to ALL of your follower. Thank you, for the "soap box"!
I have contacted the Archipelago Botanicals parent Company, hope some interest on their part maybe piqued.
THE UPTOWN ACORN! YOU ARE THE BOMB!
Thank you so much, i could not find it and thatnk's to your post I just did. So happy! :)
