There are several versions of the same fragrance on a shelf in Jean and Edith’s bathroom: it’s Habanita by Molinard, launched in 1921 with the intention of “scenting” cigarettes. As explained by Barbara Herman, it originally “came in scented sachets you could put into a pack of cigarettes or as a liquid you could apply to your cigarettes with a glass rod to ‘perfume the smoke with a delicious, lasting aroma.” Three years later “Molinard turned their scent into a perfume to be worn rather than smoked”.

The black bottle with gold stopper is the eau de toilette version.

The white bottle contains Habanita L’Esprit, launched in 2013.

The black bottle contains the eau de parfum, launched in 2012.
