What does Tonka Brown - Magic Happens smell like?

It opens with clove, cardamom and pink pepper, while aniseed and Italian lemon lighten the spice. In the heart, white cedarwood and orange blossom add a soft floral touch, and the base of tonka bean, Indian sandalwood and patchouli settles into a sweet, earthy woodiness.

Voters rate its longevity as moderate and its sillage as weak, so it stays close to the skin. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to D.S. & Durga Mahogany Kora and Honoré Payan Rose Patchouli.
