PowderyWhat does Colognes Imaginaires - 2040 Nectar Tonka smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the small number of ratings makes these a rough guide rather than a firm measure. It doesn't lean toward one gender and sits comfortably on anyone. Zara Cool Heights and Dior Sauvage Parfum have a close profile.
It opens with bitter orange, which brings a fresh, fruity brightness. In the heart, Sichuan pepper adds a spicy edge. Tonka bean sweetens and softens the base; woody and powdery accords stay in the background, alongside a slightly synthetic sheen.
