Pana Dora Nordhaven EDP

Description

Nordhaven is one of Pana Dora's newest releases (2026), an ode to the quiet power of the Scandinavian North. Composed by Ibrahim Al-Zoubi, it moves between luminous fruity-floral freshness and a mysterious, leather-clad depth: opening with cyclamen and pink pepper, moving through a violet-tuberose-pineapple heart, and settling into a brown sugar, cedar, and musk base.

Scent Character

This is a very recent addition to the Pana Dora line, and no official accord breakdown has been published for it yet. Based on its note structure and Fragrantica's own classification (Woody Floral Musk), it reads as a fruity-floral fragrance with a warm, sweet-woody dry-down: violet and cyclamen up top, tuberose and pineapple through the heart, brown sugar and cedar-musk beneath.
