Tonka Sesame

Very beautiful gourmand! Initial spray until the first two hours the tonka and nut notes are the most prominent, and eventually fade into a powdery vanilla while retaining some of the sesame. I found it similar to House of Matriarch vanilla caviar, but not syrupy and slightly sweeter without the floral undertone.

I don't get the previous comments on this one... It's the most realistic praline scent I've ever smelt. Straight up smells like the praline chocolate you get in the fancy boxes at Christmas. It's sweet, addictive and so yummy. You MUST try to mix it with the bergamot from the same collection... Beyond yummy!

Nutty warmth juxtaposed with an airy freshness - a delicious gourmand. Something in this is very reminiscent to deep n desire yacht by EBK, it must be the hazelnut note. Quite unique and lovely! Cosy feeling, perfect for Autumn days. Tonka Sesame is a 10/10 for me, I think I’ll need a bottle!

It's incredible, such a great gourmand, long lasting.

Nutty sweet fragrances are some of my favourite and I think in that category - for better or worse this perfume stands out from many others it shares notes with. This opens with toasted sesame, a realism is present that may be lacking some fantasy in the opening. This does soften during the wear and by the time this fragrance is at the base notes you have a gently warm somewhat fresh and clean scent that just slightly resembles it's namesake - moving it away from that very realistically sesame opening. An opening that many were taken aback by when I was spraying this at work but everyone loved the dry down! It is a great and versatile perfume - one I have a preference for layering as it does lack some kick but looking at this as a standalone it is a very unique skin scent. It's performance is not a projector but you do catch it throughout the day and how it sits is perfect for the profile. I recommend for anyone wanting to put their nose to a less typical, less sweet, and more mature gourmand!
