What does Café Tonka smell like?

It opens on saffron and pepper, which give it a spicy first impression. Coffee takes the centre, and amber and tonka bean in the base sweeten and soften the whole. The overall mood is sweet and gourmand, with powdery and creamy touches and a slightly synthetic edge.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes next, and summer is the least chosen season. It leans towards leisure time and evenings. Although it is unisex, voters most often read it as feminine. Maison Mataha Café des Délices and Berdoues Vanille & Safran have a close profile.
