Which Should You Buy?
This extrait is Guerlain's unapologetic, hyper-concentrated ode to tonka bean - intensely sweet, creamy, and undeniably luxurious. Expect a syrupy, long-lasting embrace that divides opinion between those who adore its richness and those who find it overwhelming or overpriced.
Cumaru De Tonka is Perfume Parlour's run at Guerlain's Tonka Sarrapia Extrait 75, a syrupy almond-tonka gourmand. The dupe captures the addictive bitter-almond-and-tonka core but leans sweeter and simpler, missing the extrait's powdery vintage soul and monster sillage.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent extrait concentration and enormous sillage make it unsuitable for an office environment, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. The decadent gourmand profile doesn't quite fit casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
A warm, sweet almond-tonka gourmand built for autumn and winter; too heavy and cosy for summer heat.
Occasions
Its comforting, sensual sweetness suits dates, cosy nights and casual cold-weather wear more than the office or sport.
