Bronze Tonka

Gorgeous! Bronze Tonka is a beautiful woody aromatic scent. It smells of mildly-sweet woody tonka beans, with a saffron-softened spicy leather note, & hint of coffee. The woody background is opulent & rich. The end smell is spicy, woody, & mildly-sweet. Really good. It also comes in a heavy, well-designed glass bottle, with a strongly-magnetized metal cap that jumps out of your hand to snap on the top of the bottle with a loud metallic clank! A bottle that says "quality". However, this smells almost identical to Mancera Red Tobacco, which came a year earlier in 2017, & its clone Alexandria Hafez 1984. I am not exaggerating. They are very similar, they are almost identical. So if you like this expensive fragrance, try those for a more affordable alternative. It's worth mentioning that some pointed out that CH's Mystery Tobacco, which is from the same line as Bronze Tonka, also smells like Red Tobacco. So does that mean it smells like Bronze Tonka, too? I haven't tried Mystery Tobacco to say. Also, of all the fragrances mentioned in this review, Mystery Tobacco was released first in 2015. Some maybe Mancera cloned CH first? Overall, Bronze Tonka is a really beautiful smell of high quality that is, for a lack of a better term, overpriced. "Love" but I'm sticking with Red Tobacco/Hafez unless I find it heavily discounted, then I'll give it a shot. P.S.: This fragrance was created by Philippine Courtiere.

Creamy and delicious... the house DNA is strong with this one. They all have this softly buffered texture across the scent. Even if punctuated with clear sweet fruit or gourmand notes. For me here I get a buttery and sweet opening that reminds me of the opening of Iris Empire (an almost candied fruity Iris). Then I get an unctuous apple pie vibe coming in that just stops short of true apples. Here it reminds me of Nightfall Patchouli. Before levelling out the sweetness and lifting up to a lighter almost higher and warmer pitched scent. It’s cocooning and sweet but not sickly. Ambered yet not too deep or spicy. This is that friend that makes you feel grounded and comfortable being your whole self. A gem for heading into and out of cooler weather.

Wow! Such a beautiful scent! This is sweet, spicy, leathery and woody. The main note for me is tonka compined with coffe, oud, leather and saffron. I get some jasmine and sandalwood in the background. The thing that makes me like this so much is the contrast between the sweet, thick notes and the dry, rouch notes like coffe, oud and leather. This doesn't smell like any other fragrance i know and in my opinion is the best from the collection. The performance is great and i find it competely unisex. The only downside is the expensive price. Amazing gourmand with a dark twist!

This has nothing in common with Angel's Share and its many clones. It's also not a light fragrance. It's super powerful and long lasting. Fragrantica had the notes wrong from the start. They corrected them recently but since they don't wipe the voting data, the votes are all effed up. Not only that but half the reviews were influenced by incorrect notes. Kind of a funny psychological experiment. There's no f***ing leather in this. Saffron can of course come across leathery, but it doesn't here. There's nothing leathery about this fragrance at all.

This smells mostly like leather and coffee to me, with vanillic nuances in the background. The oud is more noticeable in the late dry down. This is the strongest and longest lasting from the other five I’ve tried from the line. I like it a lot this line is really really nice
