Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tonka 25
This one's proper divisive, isn't it? If you fancy a musky, woody tonka that can swing from 'gorgeous' to 'sweaty feet' depending on your skin, then dive in. Otherwise, maybe swerve it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tonka 25

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its musky, woody character and moderate-to-strong sillage make it a bit much for the office if oversprayed. It truly shines on a date or for cooler weather casual wear, offering intimacy and intrigue without being overly formal. It's definitely not one for the gym.

Bean XXV

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Reach for it across autumn and winter, where the woody signature sits most naturally; outside those months its softer projection thins out faster.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

This one suits evening and daily settings; the easy, cosy character keeps it versatile for formal rotation too.
