Tonka Gold

#1114 in my "Tour de Fragrance" This is obviously targeted at the many fans of Kilian "Angel's Share" and Lattafa's "Khamrah." Fruity, sweet, amber, cognac, cinnamon, like those fragrances, but the addition of iris, one of my favorite notes, sets this apart, but just a little. This is not as ambery and sweet as the Kilian, nor as woody as the Lattafa, which also has a bergamot note that helps set that scent apart from the Kilian. This sits a little lighter with the iris note giving it a slightly more feminine character, not so much that men won't wear it, and also makes it more office appropriate, whereas the Kilian and Lattafa come off more like you've been eating candy bars in your office. For me this is a moderate, but acceptable performer (makes it to lunch), and at $29 it's a safe blind buy. I still prefer "Khamrah Qahwah" to all of the above as I like the coffee note giving the scent a darker character, but this is nevertheless a great scent at a great price. Car pool, elevator and small office safe and good for date night, and for me, another successful blind buy.

HOLY S***! That’s it, that’s the review. This has me looking forward to fall, it that good. If you liked Khamrah, but thought it was a little bit too messy could use a little bit more blending. This is like that in essence but smoother richer more refined this smells expensive. This does not smell the way It’s priced. I need to get another bottle of this before people find out what this is and TikTok catches on more than they already have and this becomes a $50 fragrance.

Had to do a 2nd review. TG definitely the smoothest take on Angels Share. The plum in this pulls everything together, unlike Khamrah which I also have, Khamrah is good but it’s no where near as smooth (because of the bergamot/apple pie note). To me Khamrah is only appropriate for the holiday season, literally. But TG is fall winter and cool spring wear, and it’s just way more sexier. At first I rated TG 9.5, but after 3 months of letting it sit. I gotta up it to a 10/10.

This is such a beautiful, delicious, boozy, sweet, cozy, spicy, slightly powdery, woody, vanilla-tonka bean fragrance. I get approximately 7 hours longevity on skin and can still smell it on my clothes the next day. It projects beyond an arms length and creates the coziest scent bubble. A staple in my collection, for the fall, winter and cooler spring days. I absolutely love it.♥️

I purchased a bottle of this about a month ago and right out of the box I am absolutely loving it! Definitely a sleeper. It is warm, slightly sweet and intoxicating. On me, it is softly feminine that opens with just the right amount of cognac and spice that subtly moves into a captivating tonka and sandalwood dry down. Really loving it.
