What does Sublime Tonka smell like?

The top opens spicy with Madagascan cinnamon, geranium and elemi resin. In the heart, frankincense, clary sage and Tabac Bourbon add a smoky depth. The base of tonka bean absolute, wheat bran absolute and copaiba balsam settles into a creamy, oriental sweetness.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the sample is small, so the picture is tentative. Its dense, warm build suits cooler weather best. Essential Parfums Divine Vanille and Trussardi Amber Oud have a close profile.
