What does Tonka Sesame smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Autumn and winter lead while spring trails far behind, and voters pick it most for leisure and evening wear. It reads more feminine than masculine to most voters, followed by modern, though a fair share still call it masculine.

The scent is built around tonka bean absolute, sesame absolute and almond, with green hazelnut and rice adding a creamy, powdery softness that heliotrope reinforces. Patchouli, Virginia cedar wood and vetiver settle the sweetness onto a woody, spicy base. The notes aren't split into layers, so it reads as one whole from start to finish.
