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.

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Tonkamande opens with a peculiar, almost soapy aldehyde kick that quickly mellows into a surprisingly complex milky almond. As it develops, a gentle sweetness from vanilla and tonka bean emerges, grounded by a subtle wheat note that adds an earthy, bready dimension. The drydown reveals a soft, warm embrace of sandalwood and amber, leaving a comforting, skin-like trail.
