Our verdict on Tolu: Acquired

A modern classic that’s divisive in its powdery elements. Tolu is a refined amber for those who crave elegance and depth without being overwhelmed. It's a statement, but a subtle one.

Its balsamic, amber-heavy nature lends itself more to cooler weather and dressed-up occasions. While not a beast, its notable sillage and longevity mean a lighter hand is needed for professional settings. Many find it too rich for casual wear or sport.

About

Tolu opens with a fresh, aromatic burst of juniper and orange blossom, kissed by clary sage. This bright prelude soon softens into a sophisticated floral heart where rose, lily of the valley, and orchid gently unfurl. The masterpiece unfolds in the base: a rich, warm tapestry of balsamic tolu resin, frankincense, tonka, and amber, creating a deep, velvety, and subtly sweet finish with a hint of smoky allure.
