By the editors · 2 min readTonka bean dominates from first spray, releasing a warm, slightly bitter almond edge that feels like crushed marzipan. Vanilla soon folds in, softening the tonka’s dryness while amplifying its creamy, hay-like facets, and patchouli adds a quiet earthy spine that keeps the confection from turning syrupy. As the minutes pass the accord thickens, the nutty aspect deepening into something closer to toasted hazelnut, yet the patchouli continues to exhale a cool, loamy breath underneath, creating a two-tier structure that hovers between gourmand and woods. Sillage stays within arm’s length for most of its life, projecting politely for about six hours before collapsing into a close, skin-warmed sweetness that still carries a faint tobacco shimmer.
