Byredo Havana Tonka

Fragrance Overview

Havana Tonka by Byredo is a warm, smoky gourmand Extrait de Parfum from the Night Veils collection, inspired by the sensual atmosphere of Havana after dark.

At the centre of the fragrance is a bespoke interpretation of roasted tonka bean, explored through two signatures closely associated with the city: rum and tobacco leaves. Crème brûlée introduces a creamy gourmand element, while suede, woods, resins and skin musks build a deeper, more tactile warmth around the composition.

Rich and enveloping, Havana Tonka captures the ambered haze of Havana’s golden nights through a blend of liquor, tobacco and roasted sweetness that becomes progressively warmer and more textured on the skin.

What Does Havana Tonka Smell Like?

Havana Tonka opens with bright bergamot and pink peppercorn alongside warm rum. Crème brûlée softens the opening with a creamy, caramelised sweetness, immediately introducing the fragrance’s gourmand character.

The heart becomes darker and more textured as smoky tobacco leaves meet violet, cashmere woods and white suede. Violet adds a subtle floral softness, while suede and woods create a smooth, tactile backdrop for the tobacco.

Roasted tonka bean absolute emerges fully in the dry down, bringing a deep, toasted sweetness alongside earthy patchouli and resinous benzoin. Skin musks soften the composition into a warm, intimate finish. The result is a rich gourmand where boozy rum, crème brûlée and roasted tonka melt into tobacco, suede and warm resins.

When to Wear Havana Tonka

Havana Tonka is particularly suited to autumn and winter, when its rum, tobacco, crème brûlée and roasted tonka bean can feel at their richest.

Its warm, smoky character makes it a natural evening fragrance for dinners, dates and nights out. It is particularly appealing for gourmand lovers looking for something deeper and less confectionery, with tobacco, suede, patchouli and benzoin giving the sweetness a darker edge.
