What does Tonka smell like?

The top notes of ginger, lemon zest and fig leaf open citrusy and slightly spicy. In the heart, white peach and almond add a fruity, powdery softness while cedar frames it with wood. Peru balsam, tonka bean and sandalwood in the base settle it into a gourmand sweetness.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring follows close behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear; although it is sold as a men's fragrance, voters see it as feminine and masculine in nearly equal measure. Guerlain L'Homme Idéal (Eau de Parfum) and Première Note Aura Tonka have a close profile.
