Première Note Aura Tonka is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Jérôme di Marino. Aura Tonka opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Almond, settles into a heart of Toffee, Solar Notes, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Iris, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Première Note's Aura Tonka carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Aura Tonka is a gorgeous gourmand, though it won't break new ground for anyone familiar with the genre. It's a sweet, comforting cocoon that's easy to love, but perhaps a touch overpriced for its similarity to others on the market.

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.

Its sweet and gourmand nature makes it a fantastic fit for dates and casual wear, providing a comforting presence.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly woody-floral citrus twist from bergamot and almond, quickly evolving into a creamy, indulgent heart. Rich toffee and praline notes meld beautifully with soft lavender and a hint of jasmine, warmed by a solar accord. The dry-down settles into a smooth vanilla and tonka bean embrace, grounded by sandalwood and powdery orris, creating a delightful, long-lasting sweet aroma.
