Franck Boclet Tonka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Tonka opens with Lemon, Ginger, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Cedar, Almond, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Peru Balsam. Franck Boclet's Tonka carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one is a divisive gem. If you're a Tonka fanatic, you'll love its warm, cosy embrace. But for some, that lack of contrast makes it a bit too much - a gourmand bomb that’s either comfort or cloying.

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.

Its potent projection and sweet, heavy accords make it a bit much for the office. It's perfect for casual wear, especially in colder weather, and while not a formal showstopper, it can work for less stuffy gatherings. Avoid on dates where you don't want to overpower, and definitely don't wear it to the gym.

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

Opens with a surprising zing of lemon and ginger, quickly rounded by a green fig leaf, before settling into a creamy heart of almond and ripe peach. The dry down is all about that rich, inviting tonka bean, softened by balsamic Peru balsam and smooth sandalwood, creating a warm, woody-sweet aura that lingers like a forgotten dessert on the palate.
