By the editors · 2 min readTonka bean lands first, its almond-sweet coumarin sheen dusted with bergamot’s faint citrus sparkle, setting a soft, almost marzipan brightness against skin. Heart-phase smoke rolls in quickly, a dry cedar-campfire haze that swallows the tonka’s sugar and turns the scent matte, grey, and slightly tarry. Guaiac wood in the base keeps that charred pencil-stub edge alive while ambrette seed lends a clean, lightly musky oil that stops the composition from ever becoming truly heavy. Over hours the smoke relaxes into a muted woodsmoke skin-aura, the tonna now a powdered tobacco sweetness tucked inside the guaiac’s smouldering logs. Projection stays polite, a handshake radius that lasts the workday, then settles into washable musk. Cool fall days and smart-casual offices fit its low-key, genderless smoulder best.
