Byredo Havana Tonka ~ new fragrance :: Now Smell This
Niche line Byredo has introduced Havana Tonka, a new addition to the Night Veils collection.
Havana Tonka by Byredo explores a nocturnal, warm, and enveloping atmosphere through a composition centered on roasted tonka bean. The opening retains a beautiful luminosity thanks to bergamot, quickly warmed by rum and pink pepper. A nuance of crème brûlée adds a caramelized sweetness that gives the ensemble a gourmand depth without erasing its dark character.
At the heart, tobacco leaf establishes a dry, smoky depth, softened by violet and the supple texture of suede. Cashmere wood reinforces this warm, velvety sensation, creating a natural transition toward a denser base. The tonka bean then reveals itself in a roasted, sweet, and slightly resinous facet. Patchouli provides an earthy depth while musks extend the fragrance close to the skin.
Additional notes include benzoin.
Byredo Havana Tonka is available in 70 ml Extrait de Parfum.
