What does Tonka Fever smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It leans towards nights out and evenings, and also works for leisure time. Voters read it as more masculine, though it is described as unisex.

Tonka bean, vanilla and cocoa absolute carry it into a gourmand, creamy sweetness. Ceylonese cinnamon, black pepper and pink pepper add spice, while Martinique rum brings warmth. Patchouli gives it a woody, earthy and slightly smoky base.
