Dries Van Noten has launched Havana Gold, a new fragrance.
A journey, evoking the atmosphere of Havana bars where the air is steeped in smoke, joy, and sensuality. An unexpected combination: the nostalgic addiction of liquorice and the hypnotic warmth of tobacco absolute. The fragrance opens on a cool, aniseed breeze with gourmand, liquorous notes. In contrast, tobacco leaves unfold in smoky, spicy, leathery, woody tones, fading into balsamic warmth — benzoïn, cistus, roasted tonka bean. A golden opulence settles on the skin: intoxicating yet refined, deep and full of nuance.
Amber-tinted glass merges with an aged brass base, finely crafted with a patina that adds a nuanced and unique beauty.
“Havana Gold is a surprising alchemy between nostalgic, gourmand liquorice and the darkest, leathery facets of tobacco.” — Jordi Fernandez, Perfumer
Additional notes include mandarin, star anise, cinnamon, leather accord and cypriol.
Dries Van Noten Havana Gold is available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $376, and in a 200 ml refill.
