Le Labo Tonka 25 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Daphné Bugey. Tonka 25 settles into a heart of Musk, Orange Blossom, Cedar, and Vanilla. Le Labo's Tonka 25 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's proper divisive, isn't it? If you fancy a musky, woody tonka that can swing from 'gorgeous' to 'sweaty feet' depending on your skin, then dive in. Otherwise, maybe swerve it.

About

Don't let the name fool you, this ain't a straightforward tonka bean. Tonka 25 opens with a woody, musky punch, often leaning into cedar and styrax with a surprising aromatic, almost fizzy quality. The orange blossom adds a clean, sometimes soapy edge, while a restrained vanilla and tonka bean provide a subtle sweetness that emerges later in the dry-down, mingling with an intriguing, occasionally animalic musk. It's a complex beast, shifting between fresh and deep, modern and vintage.
