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 sweet-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.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its musky, woody character and moderate-to-strong sillage make it a bit much for the office if oversprayed. It truly shines on a date or for cooler weather casual wear, offering intimacy and intrigue without being overly formal. It's definitely not one for the gym.

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.
