lsbennis Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I love Havana by Archipelago and I know DS has this dupe, I was wondering if anyone has tried it and what they thought about it. It's kinda pricey and I don't want to order a sample if its not a good dupe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I can't answer that, but typically DS is pretty close on dupes that I've tried. Take a look at Southern Soapers Havana Nights I think it is and tell me if you think that's similar in description. Did not mean to distract from your question though.

lsbennis Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Thanks Scented, I will check out SS and see if it is a close dupe. I guess I can always order some more samples from DS...one can never have enough you know! :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 That's always a possibility, but why spend more for something you don't want? Justify spending it somewhere else lol. Hope someone has your answer. Was just thinking if the SS version met you req. that there might be a way to share some to compare, but I don't know if it would be remotely close.

lsbennis Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 I actually had a sample of SS Havana Nights..(imagine that)...and to me it does not smell like Archipelogo Havana. So now I'm back to DS, I don't need anything from them at the moment but when I do I'm going to order a sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-GRAN-ONES Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 (edited) i am not sure if it is the same...but Greenleaf used to carry it...nowjust by nature carries it..i think the two company's were ownd by brothers..now they only have just by nature...the reviews i have read, it sounds good..here is theirsHavanna Nights (Archipelago Havana Type)The rich sensual aroma is great for setting the mood, with bergamot and tobacco leaf blended with ylang ylang. It is a must have by both women and men. Edited July 22, 2010 by 8-GRAN-ONES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) That was the other company I was trying to think of. When I go through scents this weekend, I'll see if I have any. If I remember though, people said their dupes were right on. At least when Greenleaf existed that is. I can't answer for the other company because I never order from there.

number2of7 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I use the one from JBN -- I don't know what the original smells like, but this oil is FABULOUS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbennis Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Great...good to know, I don't get anything from JBN but their Havana dupe is less expensive then DS. Are there any other must haves from JBN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursenancy Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I just last night burned a tester with their vanilla sandalwood. I really like this one. I bought it off the classies quite a while ago & I don't even know if they still have it, but it's really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
