By the editors · 2 min readTonka by Abaco Paris opens on mint and lavender — cool, aromatic, and clean with a herbal clarity. Jasmine and freesia move in through the heart, softening the aromatic opening with a light floral presence.
The base is where the composition centers: tonka bean, benzoin, vanilla, and caramel build a dense, sweet, balsamic warmth. The transition from cool aromatic to warm gourmand-adjacent sweetness is the defining arc of this fragrance.
The overall character is a cool-warm contrast: aromatic freshness giving way to a rich, comforting base. Suited to cooler months when the tonka and caramel can settle properly. Moderate projection.
