My bottle of DVN Havana Gold arrived today and I immediately sprayed it on for the evening. This is just such a delicious cool weather fragrance, it’s so smooth and well blended, like a cosy blanket of rich warm fragrance goodness. At the open, there’s just a tiny hint of orange riding a wave of smooth lightly sweet amber, smooth tabac, a hint of cinnamon, and some very pleasant anise. In the mids and dry down, it gets a little more powdery, with tonka and a smooth leather coming out a bit more. It has a soft yet insistent projection that will have me catching whiffs of it for 5-6 hours before settling down to a delicious skin scent. I think the bottle design fits it perfectly - it’s got that interesting DVN two-tone styling, with the gold base and clear amber glass perfectly encapsulating the vibe of this scent. It’s also got a kind of distressed metal cap that’s pretty interesting to top it off. To me, this is unisex leaning ever so slightly masculine. I can’t say it’s ground-breaking but this is just super easy and enjoyable to wear. Very happy to have found this one and add it to my collection. Anyone else tried this?

Ordered a 5ML decant of this one. Minty green moss is what I get from Beach Hut Man. Strong open with great projection after two hours on skin. I expected a woodier scent due to the name. Didn't think there would be many occasions I would wear BHM but I picked up a sweet note just now. It's nice and smells of quality with Aramis / fougere vives. More of a daytime, warmer weather scent to my olfactory. Will provide an update later.
