Calmveda Habana Cinnamon

 


Curious name - I'm not sure of the relationship between Cuba and cinnamon. The scent on the stick is quite smoky, old leather, furniture polish, faint old cigarette smoke, honey, vintage red wine, dust - it's like an old fashioned study - wood, leather, ash tray, dusty books. I like it. 

The scent on the burn, like the other Calmveda sticks, is mild, and a little smoky from the powdered flowers, but is quite interesting. It echoes some of the impressions from the scent on the stick. There's a retro feel - the Habana name puts me in mind of some old gentleman's club in Havana. Cigars and sweat and wood, and a little whiff of sex and cheap perfume from Cuban good time girls hanging around the door. I don't think, unlike the other Calmveda sticks, that this is a typical everyday room freshener, nor necessarily a commercial scent. This is a little more interesting than that. This tells it's own story, and it is an interesting and somewhat unique story.  Cool. I really like this. A little more fascinating than the average!
