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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Myroxylon Balsamum Pereirae Balsam Extract from Peru Balsam
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Commodity Tonka opens with a fascinating, almost herbal kick of artemisia alongside spicy cardamom and a hint of almond. It quickly melts into a creamy, powdery heart where magnolia and lotus offer a delicate, ethereal touch. The real magic unfolds in the base, as rich tonka bean blends seamlessly with resinous benzoin, warm Peru balsam, and smooth sandalwood, creating a comforting, slightly gourmand, and decidedly luxurious dry down that lingers beautifully.
