Scent Profile

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:
Fall Winter

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its long-lasting nature and rich, warm profile make it perfect for date nights and formal events, leaving a memorable, luxurious trail. It's sophisticated enough for some office environments, but perhaps a bit too opulent for daily casual wear, and definitely not suited for sport.

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
  • 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

Amande Tonka opens with a sophisticated, slightly bitter almond, immediately hinting at something more grown-up than your average sweet treat. This quickly melts into a rich, creamy tonka bean heart, offering a warm, almost chocolatey sweetness without ever veering into cloying territory. Smooth sandalwood provides a luxurious, woody backdrop, while amyris adds a subtle depth and a hint of unexpected freshness, preventing it from becoming too heavy. The overall effect is a warm, enveloping embrace of nutty, creamy, and gently spiced elegance.
