6 place Saint Sulpice Eau de Parfum vs Arabian Tonka Perfume Oil
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A truly luxurious and sophisticated leather amber, Saint Sulpice strikes a beautiful balance between warmth and refinement. It's a scent that smells expensive, for those who don't mind the price tag. Just be aware, some find it a bit too tonka-heavy.
Pearl's Arabian Tonka copies Montale's Arabians Tonka, keeping the addictive saffron-bergamot opening intact while thinning out the oud-rose heart and the oakmoss-tonka base that give the original its layered, sillage-heavy character.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent performance and rich leather and amber accords make it less suitable for the office, but ideal for dates and formal occasions. The fragrance is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport due to its intense projection and longevity.
Seasons
The warm saffron-tonka-amber build suits cool weather, where it feels enveloping rather than cloying.
Occasions
Sweet and spiced enough to read as special-occasion, better suited to a date or formal evening than daily office wear.
