I've been interested in the threads about this fragrance and it being discontinued ever since I joined BN. I mentioned the below in a PM to another BNoter after doing a trade of Havana...I'm not too sure about it not being in production anymore:
Reason: Havana is very much available at the major retail stores here and I've never heard from a sales assistant (!) that it was discontinued. What I did hear however, was that the 100ml size Havana EDT and the Reserve (in whatever size) were discontinued. The 50ml is available most places I've looked though.
Another reason - I am in the Human Resources dept of one of the biggest food and clothing retailers here and we just recently (about 2 months ago) launched a beauty dept which includes cosmetics and FEW fragrances. Aramis is one of the brands we offer. (Also Guerlain where I got the L'Instand PH EDP!!) On Monday past I enquired about Havana and was told it was out of stock at all of our stores. Then it hit me - maybe the guys here were right - it's no more in production. Two days ago I walked in a store to buy L'Instant, and there was Havana - quite a few! I asked the SA what the story was, and she told me that it arrived that very day.
Before Christmas, at another store (not one of ours), I asked about Havana - the SA told me it's not yet on the shelves, but she brought me a gift pack from newly arrived stock, together with a toiletry bag for the past festive season...
