Suprême Nectar

Smell nothing like Velvet Tonka. This smells more like Heliotrope Gingembre by Fragonard with good amount of amber and a drizzle of honey. Quite sweet and gourmand, like a spicy honey almond pastry. It's nice, just not what I expected. I was looking for less oriental version of Velvet Tonka or non lactonic version Italica. So I am slightly disappointed. Also the Fragonard fragrance can be had for under $50 so I am not sure if this is worth the price but their packaging is definitely top notch. Update: This is way better quality than Heliotrope Gingembre and lasts very long. I think the pricing for this perfume is really good for what you get, a 100ml extrait. Even better if you get it at a 20% discount, I got mine from ZGO when they were running a 20% sale.

I love love this fragnance. The opening is pretty out there whith sweet boozy almonds similair to BDK Velvet Tonka. However it develops in this richer opulant honey skin scent with a better longevity. It reminds me of the summer my husband and I got together, there is something very familiar and very sexy about it. Longevity is not beast mode but because I love it so much I enjoy re-applying it after 5 or 6 hours. I hope they bring out a body lotion / oil and a hair fragnance as well since I just want to bath in this <3 Because it doesn't have an enormous sillage I totally wear it to the office, where leaving a trail (north western EU in tech) is a complete faux pas.

This is everything I wanted from BDK Velvet Tonka without the terrible eye-watering chemical smell. It’s basically the same powdery almond- tonka scent, but clearly uses superior ingredients, resulting in a much more natural smelling perfume. I personally already own a few scents with this aggressively powdery profile (something I enjoy), otherwise I would definitely purchase a bottle of this. Give this a try if you like nongourmand almond powder scents.

I get honey mixed with almond with this scent, I love it, it's one of the few scents that is actually sweet on my skin!!! I saw it at zgo perfumery when i visited a few weeks ago and fell in love. I promised myself i wasn't going to buy anything but walked out with a bottle of this juice of the gods, it's so nice and inviting it reminds me of San Francisco every time i smell it.

I'm in love. The honey, amber and almonds are a magical, cozy combination. Sweet, but elegant. All day, all night, all year fragrance for me. It might just be my very favourite in my collection, incredibly sad it's so expensive.
