Laboratory Perfumes Tonka is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2015. Tonka opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Pink Pepper, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Woody, Ylang-Ylang, Coriander, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Laboratory Perfumes's Tonka carries a Statement verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a sweet tonka bomb. It's a divisive, old-school aromatic green scent that leans decidedly masculine. Expect a spicy, woody experience, with tonka playing a subtle supporting role, not the star.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its bold, spicy, and woody character, combined with reports of beast mode performance, make it less suitable for quiet office environments. It shines best in social casual settings or a confident night out, though it might be a bit too 'macho' or '90s' for some formal occasions.

About

Opens with an aromatic, spicy kick of pink pepper and labdanum, underpinned by a slight citrus lift from bergamot and mandarin. The heart is green and herbaceous, featuring clary sage and coriander, before settling into a woody, mossy base of vetiver and oakmoss. The namesake tonka bean provides a warm, earthy anchor rather than a prominent vanilla sweetness, blended with a husky amber.
