Tonka
Tonka bean, derived from a South American tree, is prized in perfumery for its richness and depth. Its scent reveals facets of ambered vanilla, soft almond, and hay, carried by the aromatic compound coumarin, which imparts a warm, gently enveloping character.
Typically used as a base note, it brings longevity and roundness to compositions, while creating a soft, sensual, and subtly gourmand trail. A signature ingredient, both refined and addictive.
