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.

About

Tonka Fever opens with a vibrant, almost aggressive burst of black and pink pepper, giving it an unexpected spicy edge that sets it apart from typical tonka-centric fragrances. This fiery introduction gradually mellows into a warm, inviting heart where creamy vanilla and a subtle, boozy whisper of rum intertwine with the star note, tonka bean. The dry down introduces a touch of earthy patchouli, providing a sophisticated depth and preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying, settling into a smooth, sensual skin scent.
