Perfumes with Tonka bean
Oriental notes — vanilla, amber, musk, tonka bean — make up what are known as the 'warm accords' of perfumery. They evoke opulence, sensuality and the spice markets of the East. Natural vanilla comes from an orchid whose extraction is complex and costly; its synthetic counterpart, vanillin, is more accessible but less nuanced. Musk is now almost exclusively synthetic for ethical reasons, yet it remains perfumery's most universal ingredient.
An oriental note creates an enveloping, almost edible sillage. It reassures, warms and seduces. Oriental fragrances are particularly effective in the evening or in cold weather, when body heat amplifies their projection. On the skin they melt in and become almost a second skin.
Tonka bean is mainly used as a base note, the lasting signature on the skin. It belongs to the following olfactory families: Oriental, Floral Oriental, Gourmand Oriental, Amber, Woody Oriental — oriental bases bind the notes together and ensure a fragrance lasts through the hours. At BrazaScent, Parfums de Marly, Place de la Rêverie, Kilian Paris and 10 other houses use this note in 17 compositions available as decants.
BrazaScent offers 17 decants featuring tonka bean, including Althaïr , Fève Nectar and Angels' Share on the Rocks. Each decant is available in 2ml, 5ml, 10ml or 30ml, drawn directly from the original bottle. It's the fairest way to try this note on your skin before investing in a full bottle.
