Summary
Summary
Havana Gold is a warm tobacco-leather fragrance with licorice, star anise and cinnamon creating a dark spicy sweetness. Licorice and star anise make the opening aromatic and slightly bitter-sweet, while mandarin adds a small flash of citrus brightness. Tobacco anchors the center, supported by cinnamon and benzoin for richer resinous warmth. Leather, tonka bean and cypriol deepen the drydown with smoky, earthy and softly sweet facets.

Dries Van Noten’s fragrance collection extends the Belgian designer’s approach to color, texture, and unexpected contrast into perfumery. The house describes its genderless Eaux de Parfum as an unconventional homage to traditional perfumery, with pairings such as violet and sesame, chestnut and silk, mint and iris, and fig with sandalwood creating distinct olfactive identities.
