Tonka in the Sun

by Julien Rasquinet

Maison Tahité – Officine Creative Profumi Tonka in the Sun is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Julien Rasquinet. Tonka in the Sun opens with Bitter Orange, Mandarin, Peach, and Hazelnut, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, Tonka Bean, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Woody, Sandalwood, and Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha. Maison Tahité – Officine Creative Profumi's Tonka in the Sun carries an Acquired verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a bit divisive - a high-end vanilla body lotion vibe that some will love, others will find a bit 'meh'. If you're after a sophisticated gourmand with good staying power, it's worth a sniff, but don't expect fireworks.

Its warm, vanilla-heavy profile makes it a strong contender for dates and casual outings, offering a seductive yet comforting presence. While its 'very good' longevity and projection might be too much for some offices, it could still be worn sparingly there. It's too rich and sweet for active wear and leans away from formal events, which typically favour lighter or more traditionally elegant scents.

About

Imagine a summer stroll through an orchard at dusk, where juicy peach and tart mandarin mingle with the nutty warmth of hazelnut. As the sun dips, a creamy white floral bouquet of osmanthus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang unfurls, softened by tonka bean. The dry down is a comforting embrace of coconut and vanilla, deepened by woody notes, earthy cypriol, and a hint of warm amber, like sun-kissed skin after a long day.
