What does Bronze Tonka smell like?
It opens with cypriol, coffee and oud, which give it a smoky, dark start. At the heart, tonka bean adds a creamy sweetness, and sandalwood and saffron settle it onto a spicy, woody base. The overall character is oriental with a light smoky edge.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate to good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, with some wearing it for leisure. Feminine and masculine votes are almost level, so it reads as truly unisex.
