By the editors · 2 min readAlmond arrives already toasted, its warm nutty sweetness cushioned by a plush vanilla that reads more custard than pod. Tonka bean folds in coumarin-like facets, adding soft tobacco and hay edges that keep the accord from flattening into pure dessert. Styrax quietly smolders underneath, lending a leathery resin anchor that stretches the sweetness into the dry-down without ever turning smoky. The composition stays linear: the almond softens, the vanilla thickens, and the resin warms, but no new players enter after the first ten minutes. Projection hugs skin yet leaves a persistent golden trail on scarves and coat cuffs for hours. Cool evenings and layered clothing amplify its cozy, pastry-tinged aura; heat sharpens the tonka’s hay facet and thins the vanilla.
