Our verdict on Tonka 25: Statement

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.

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.
