Havana Tonka Extrait de Parfum | Byredo

Havana Tonka is part of Night Veils, Byredo's collection of highly concentrated extraits de parfum. A series of compositions that explore the expressive possibilities of raw materials through intense, olfactively rich perfumes.

In this creation, the leading role falls to an interpretation of toasted tonka bean. Its warm, lightly spiced, gourmand character finds depth in the tobacco and resins, while the notes of rum and white suede bring a sensual personality.

Havana Tonka begins with a bright, boozy opening. Bergamot introduces a citrus nuance that contrasts with the warm character of rum. Pink pepper adds a spiced accent, while crème brûlée wraps the opening in a creamy, toasted sweetness.

At the heart appears a tobacco leaf accord, with a depth reminiscent of the dry, smoky nuances of this material. Violet introduces a floral delicacy, accompanied by the softness of cashmere wood and the velvety texture of white suede.

The evolution culminates with toasted tonka bean absolute, the star of the fragrance. Its aromatic richness blends with the earthy character of Indonesian patchouli and the balsamic warmth of Siam benzoin. Skin musks complete the base with an intimate, enveloping feel.

• Top notes: bergamot essence, rum, pink pepper essential oil and crème brûlée accord.
• Heart notes: tobacco leaves, violet, cashmere wood and white suede.
• Base notes: toasted tonka bean absolute, Indonesian patchouli essential oil, Siam benzoin resinoid and skin musks.

Tonka bean is a raw material prized in perfumery for its warm aromatic profile, with facets reminiscent of vanilla, almond and spiced nuances.

In Havana Tonka, Byredo uses a toasted interpretation of this material to accentuate its gourmand richness and bring depth to the composition.

The crème brûlée accord anticipates that warm facet from the opening. Afterwards, tobacco and woods introduce a drier texture, while benzoin prolongs the balsamic character of the base.

The combination allows different facets of tonka to be appreciated throughout the perfume's evolution: from the initial creamy sweetness to a more resinous, musky trail.

The inspiration behind Havana Tonka is found in the golden nights of Havana. The city is evoked through a selection of accords that recall its warm, nocturnal atmosphere.

Rum brings a boozy dimension; tobacco leaves introduce depth and white suede softens the whole with a velvety texture.

Violet and cashmere wood accompany this transition, creating a heart of contrasts that prepares the arrival of toasted tonka bean.

Byredo Havana Tonka is a particularly interesting fragrance for anyone who enjoys perfumes with tonka bean, tobacco, vanilla and amber accords.

Its composition offers an elaborate take on the gourmand universe, where the sweetness of crème brûlée meets the boozy character of rum, the texture of suede and the depth of resins.

It is an especially appealing choice for afternoons and evenings, as well as for the colder months, when its warm notes find a natural context.

It is also worth considering if you are looking for a tobacco perfume with a soft, creamy facet, or a tonka fragrance with greater woody and balsamic depth.

Apply Havana Tonka Extrait de Parfum to clean skin, especially on pulse points such as the neck and wrists.
