Cuba was the nightlife, casino and party paradise of the 1930s, where Cherigan was already a favourite perfume brand of the local jet set. Fiesta Habana is an ode to the vibrations of Havana nights, enveloped in a swirl of Cuban rum and sweet tobacco. This extrait is enhanced by creamy vanilla and tolu roughed up with haylike tonka bean, spicy immortelle and earthy patchouli.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
The conversation gets louder as the evening loosens its collar. Rum and sweet tobacco give Fiesta Habana a convivial warmth, while smoky woods and spicy immortelle keep the sweetness rugged. It suits a close, animated gathering where a substantial scent feels part of the atmosphere.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on skin: this rich extrait calls for restraint, particularly indoors. Cooler evenings give its tobacco, resins and vanilla room to unfold; in warm weather, apply more lightly to keep the boozy sweetness from becoming too dense.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy rum-and-tobacco fragrances with generous warmth and a smoky, woody edge. Its creamy vanilla is balanced by haylike tonka, earthy patchouli and spicy immortelle, appealing to tastes that favour textured sweetness over a straightforward gourmand.

Cherigan’s story
Cherigan brings the daring elegance and pleasure-seeking spirit of interwar Paris into contemporary perfumery. The revived house makes its fragrances in France exclusively as extraits, with an emphasis on natural ingredients and a stated commitment to responsible materials and accessible luxury.
Fiesta Habana’s concept
Fiesta Habana draws on Cherigan’s historical connection to Havana and the atmosphere of Cuban nightlife. Its literary reference is Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises, also known as Fiesta: the house links its spirit of travel and revelry to a composition of rum, sweet tobacco and vanilla. This is a contemporary creation, not a restored interwar formula.
Extra info
The name carries a literary nod to Hemingway’s novel Fiesta. Cherigan’s archive also includes an older fragrance called La Habana Cuba, but Fiesta Habana is a separate modern creation rather than its reissue.
