EarthyWhat does Tonka Majestic smell like?
Tonka bean absolute and cocoa absolute set the sweetness, while rum adds a boozy warmth. Ceylonese cinnamon leaves a spicy trace, labdanum gives resinous depth, and patchouli lays an earthy, woody base. The overall impression is powdery, dense and warm.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though few votes back this up, so treat it as a rough guide. It reads unisex. Ramón Monegal Cuirelle and Obvious Un Patchouli have a close profile.
