Carolina Herrera Bronze Tonka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Philippine Courtière. Bronze Tonka opens with Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Oud, and Coffee, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Saffron. Carolina Herrera's Bronze Tonka carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher; a divisive beast if ever there was one. Expect a rich, boozy, oriental spicy vibe, but don't be surprised if your nose picks up something entirely different from one sniff to the next. Not for the faint of heart, or those who can't commit to a scent.

Its potent, long-lasting nature and strong sillage, coupled with its rich, warm spicy character, make it less suitable for an office environment. This scent truly shines on a date or for formal events, where its luxurious warmth can be fully appreciated without overwhelming the space. It can be worn casually, but its intensity might be a bit much for everyday errands.

About

Bronze Tonka plunges you into a deep, warm embrace of boozy tonka bean, softened by a touch of powdery sweetness. Right from the off, a rich, woody oud note combines with an elusive coffee facet, though some find it plays hide-and-seek. The heart is dominated by that signature tonka, while a leathery saffron and smooth sandalwood emerge in the base, creating a complex, dark, and sensual drydown that's anything but linear.
