Our verdict on Tonka Sublime: Favourite

This is a decent, sweet tonka-forward scent that unfortunately suffers from weak performance, with some finding it a bit too masculine or dusty. Not a 'grand projection monster' by any stretch, making it a safe pick for quieter moments.

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and 6-7 hour longevity make it acceptable for office wear, as noted by users who wore it to their desk. While pleasant for dates and casual wear, it lacks the punch for formal events or the freshness for sport.

About

Opening with a sweet, nutty burst of almond and star anise, Tonka Sublime quickly settles into a creamy heart where the namesake tonka bean reigns supreme. Hints of jasmine and the jammy sweetness of plum weave through, before a warmer, woody base of sandalwood and amber gently guides it to a close. There's a subtle powderiness throughout, adding a touch of sophisticated comfort.
