From the brand - “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." From the Perfumer, Jordi Fernandez, "Havana Gold is a surprising alchemy between nostalgic, gourmand liquorice and the darkest, leathery facets of tobacco.”
Fragrantica - "think rock the myrrh but turn it way up. like smilin’ flash into an open fire. take this to the family party and sit with the uncles and their sweet cigars. sweat a little, eat a little, dance a little."
