For far too long, Tonka has been sacked off as poor man's vanilla. But no one should put this baby in the corner. In actual fact its warmth and richness make it a classic in its own right.
And once you’ve chucked in ethically sourced and sustainable Brazilian orange oil, lavender, neroli and fennel, you’re really cooking.
All oomph and sophistication. Like a rich, yummy posh pudding with none of the calories or the guilt.
Bloomin’ delicious.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a close-wearing scent for someone who likes their sweetness sharpened by green herbs and a clean aromatic edge. It feels most at home in intimate spaces, where the tonka’s warmth can unfold slowly without becoming heavy, leaving a polished, slightly unexpected trail.
How to wear
Best in cool to mild weather, where its fresh-green opening and tonka warmth stay balanced. Apply lightly to pulse points or clothing for a smoother, longer-lasting effect; it has enough presence to project, so two to four sprays is usually plenty.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like gourmand notes with structure: tonka, cocoa and powdery warmth, but also fennel, neroli and lavender for lift. It suits people drawn to niche, slightly retro compositions that feel clean, sensual and a little unconventional.
