At the Esxence 2023 fragrance exhibition in Milan I fortuitously stumbled upon a true gem that encapsulates elegance, quality, and a rich historical allure. Cherigan renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship, caught my attention, and one fragrance stole my heart –Fiesta Habana. With its captivating scent and exquisite bottle design, it transports you to the exhilarating world of the roaring 1920s and 1930s. The Art Deco movement is undergoing something of a renaissance of late and with the keen eyes and management of Luc Gabriel, founder of The Different Company who discovered Cherigan in 2016, the brand has been brought back to life.

From the moment I saw the sleek, slender silhouette of the bottle, I knew I had discovered something extraordinary. The golden crafted cap, adorning the bottle like a regal crown, added a touch of opulence. The bottle’s translucency only heightened the allure, allowing a glimpse into the golden elixir within. Cherigan Fiesta Habana is not just a fragrance; it is a work of art that demands admiration.

Drawing inspiration from the era’s vibrant parties, lively music, and undeniable charm, Cherigan Habana Fiesta captures the essence of a time that was synonymous with indulgence and sophistication. The aromatic symphony of cannabis, rum, tobacco, amber, and vanilla evokes images of smoky jazz clubs and clandestine gatherings, embodying the spirit of the “Lost Generation”, the local jet set.

Fiesta Habana goes beyond scent; it is an olfactory journey through history. According to Cherigan, Fiesta Habana is “a tribute to absolute love and the pleasure of unlimited parties between France and Spain. Soon after, Hemingway moved into his favourite home on the Keys, just across the street from Cuba, the paradise of nightlife, casinos and partying. It is a testament to Cherigan’s commitment to delivering the highest quality, with each note and accord meticulously crafted for a harmonious blend. The intoxicating perfume transports you to a world where the sun always rises on endless possibilities.
As Ernest Hemingway once wrote in his iconic novel, The Sun Also Rises, “You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.” This sentiment resonates deeply with Fiesta Habana. Hemingway’s words reflect the allure of the fragrance Fiesta Habana offers a temporary escape to a world of joyous celebration.”
