SpicyWhat does Brazilian Tonka Lift smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though few votes have been cast, so that picture is still tentative. It reads as unisex and sits comfortably on both men and women.
It opens fresh, citrusy and lightly spicy with grapefruit, ginger and lime. The heart turns sweet and gourmand with almond cream, cola and rum, softened by cashmere wood. The base of musk, tonka bean and amber dries down creamy, powdery and warm.
