TOVA Beverly Hills Tova is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1982. Tova opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. TOVA Beverly Hills's Tova carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Tova is a divisive classic - a love-it-or-hate-it clean musk that's seen multiple reformulations. Fans rave about its unique 'clean sexiness', while detractors recoil from its 'bug spray' or 'cleaning solution' aroma. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it really works.

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

Tova opens with a bright, uplifting burst of bergamot, quickly transitioning to a heart dominated by a fresh, aromatic lavender and a clean, airy jasmine. The fragrance settles into a soft, inviting base of warm musk and smooth sandalwood, creating a scent that's often described as soapy and comforting. It's a clean, musky floral with a hint of citrusy sparkle.
