Tonka Kumaru

In ABSOLUTE LOVE ! Tried today in store and oh my. She's staring at me from my desk where i proudly look at her, newly added in my collection. Irresistible. Amazing, feminine, sweet, powdery, dense, charismatic. Gorgeous new entry. Marzipan and deep Tonka marriage with a veil of cinnamon. Femme fatale and definitely for those who don't mind making a strong impression. Intense, loud and strong projection. Ritch. She tickles my brain in the best way possible, and gives me warmth and immediate comfort. It surrounds you in this great sweet and spicy cloud and melts your heart in a soup of serotonin. The barley was an amazing " softening" and "starchy" choice, along with Hay. What i find so special about this formula, is that it eliminated the sharpness of Guerlain Tonka Sarrapia ( which i own , love and will still use ). Among my almond perfumes ( and i admit they are many, more then a normal person should own) this, is my absolute favorite now. Queen hard to dethrone 💗✨️

Very good perfume. For whatever reason cinnamon is not mentioned in the notes/accords but it has a lot of cinnamon in it. For me it's a plus but probably for someone disliking cinnamon it won't be a safe blind buy. I think at that price range, it has to be mentioned in the notes. As a perfumer i recognize cinnamic aldehyde and also cinnamon bark in the composition together with Benzaldehydes. So clearly a cinnamon accord. For me it's very pleasant and i adore cinnamon (which was the trigger for me) but people who hate it, please test it before

Getting a sharp cinnamaldahyde opening that's not listed in notes as well. I like cinnamon so not an issue for me, the cinnamon fades to cardamom and hay like aspects of coumarin after a while and dries down to classic tonka almondy base and reminds me of Guerlain Tonkas. I was going to get Tonka Serrapia Extrait 75 but will get this one instead. Minimalist bottle design is a plus for me also.

Nouvellement arrivé, direct du Paris perfume week! Premier test: amende grillée et tonka chaleureuse. Parfum d'automne enveloppant

This is a cozy, upscale, semi gourmand where tonka shows its almondy facet, think marzipan, almond cream, and soft vanilla warmth. There’s also a subtle toasted nuance from the barley and hay, which keeps it from becoming too sweet, but the overall impression remains very much in that marzipan / almond dessert territory with balanced sweetness. At this stage and since I already own Tonka Serrapia 25 which is my favourite tonka scent, I dont think I will upgrade my sample to a full bottle.
