By the editors · 2 min readTonka bean opens with a sweet, nutty creaminess that immediately blankets the black currant's tart berry edge, creating a jammy, almost marzipan-like top accord. Bergamot slices through this richness with a brief citrus flash, then vetiver's dry grassiness and patchouli's cocoa-brown earth arrive to pull the composition downward into a darker, leaf-strewn territory. The dry-down hinges on guaiac wood's smoked-tea woodiness and a clean white musk that thins the earlier sweetness, leaving a skin-warm trail of soft leather, toasted hay, and faint vanillic resin. Projection stays polite, radiating barely beyond arm's length for six hours, making it office-safe yet quietly distinctive. Cool autumn days sharpen its tobacco-tonka facet, while spring breezes highlight the currant's green sparkle.
