What does Tonka smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn, followed by winter and spring. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the settings that come up most. It doesn't lean toward either gender and sits comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with bergamot and mandarin orange for citrus freshness, while pink pepper and cistus add a spicy edge. The heart holds clary sage, ylang-ylang, coriander and woods. In the base, tonka bean, vetiver, mossy notes and amber take over, and the scent settles into a sweet, woody, faintly leathery line.
