Ataratma Tonka Bala is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Fanny Bal and Tanguy Guesnet. Tonka Bala opens with Petitgrain and Ambrette, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tonka Bean, and Coconut, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Ataratma's Tonka Bala carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Powdery petitgrain and ambrette lead to sweet tonka, coconut and jasmine over leather, vanilla, musk and sandalwood. A smoky gourmand leather that divides opinion.

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Winter

Autumn

Tonka, vanilla and leather give it a cosy autumn and winter character. The sunny coconut and jasmine keep it from feeling too heavy in milder weather.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Office Date Casual Formal

Daytime and evening wear both work for this statement scent, which is not overpowering. Casual and date use are the most natural fits; it is not a sport fragrance.

About

Tonka Bala is an Extrait de Parfum by Ataratma, composed by Fanny Bal and Tanguy Guesnet. The brand links it to the third chakra and self-esteem, and describes an ambery gourmand leather with a magnetic sillage. Petitgrain and ambrette give the opening a soft, powdery lift. Tonka bean sits at the centre of the heart with coconut and jasmine, and vanilla rounds the sweetness. Leather, sandalwood and musk form the base and add warmth and a faintly smoky edge. The result feels both edible and unusual: creamy at first, then more textured as the nutty and savoury facets emerge. Some wearers find a smoky gourmand, while others notice rice-like or stale-bread impressions. It suits someone who enjoys a little friction in a warm composition.
