Experimental Perfume Club Tonka Sesame is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Emmanuelle Moeglin. Tonka Sesame settles into a heart of Sesame, Heliotrope, Almond, and Hazelnut, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Experimental Perfume Club's Tonka Sesame carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a proper gourmand for those who like to smell edible, though not everyone's keen on the upfront roasted sesame. It's divisive; some love the unique nutty sweetness, while others find it a bit odd or sickly. Performance is on the lighter side, making it a stellar layering scent.

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 winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its gourmand nature and intimate projection make it perfect for casual wear and dates, where its unique sweetness can be appreciated up close. It's a bit too 'foody' for formal events, and the subdued sillage isn't ideal for the office unless applied very sparingly.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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
