Tonka

Well, I've been waiting for a long time to post this review! Honestly, I'm vegan and I live in a country where I don't have much choice of perfume. I had previously bought saint by kat von d online and boy, was it awful! After this, I want to leave a review for it too😂 Actually, I had to look for another vegan perfume and bought this one online too, because it was not available in stores. And until it reached my hand, I was really stressed that this might be the same as the previous one, but... This is wonderful! Before I became a vegan, I had famous perfumes like Ajmal, Versace and Dior. But I can say without a doubt that this one was the best perfume I smelled in my life. Apart from the written notes, I also feel a little coconut, cinnamon, cherry, caramel and even coffe from this (I don't know how, but believe me, people around me say the same thing). And this is a wonderful combination of sweetness and a little spicy that is going to surprise your friends on dates! And wherever you go, you are going to answer this question: how good is your perfume, what is its name?? I have to say about the sillage and longevity: When I sprayed it on the first floor of the house, my sister shouted from the second floor: "Did you buy a new perfume?" And after 7-8 hours, even though I had only sprayed the first time, she asked me: Did you spray again? A few tips: on the skin, it is much more wonderful than on clothes and on the edge of the bottle. It's crazy on the hair. I am using it in summer and I think it is quite suitable, but if I wanted to choose, I would say that it is even better for cold seasons.

I stumbled upon this line today in Target, while I had actually gone there to check out what all the fuss was over Mixbar. I found this line to be MUCH better than any of mixbar's offerings. Where's the fanfare?! It's pretty quality for the pricepoint and the fragrances actually have some longevity to them. The Tonka in particular stole my heart, it's not pure Tonka at all, there are definitely other notes wrapped around it. I get vanilla, some type of light floral note and a woody undertone as well. This fragrance for me is everything I expected from Rhagba, which seems to be a hit for everyone but left me quite nauseated as it turns sticky after awhile and almost smells like...well... dry saliva. This fragrance manages to stay light somehow, even though it is woody and sweet. It stays fresh, imo and is wearable and cozy. It smells like a cream colored chunky sweater, lol I am going to do my best NOT to tell people about this because I want these fragrances to stay cheap and available, lol Highly recommend. Even if Tonka isn't your cup of tea, so many of the others in this lineup are awesome! Wonderful for mixing and layering with more expensive fragrances.

I was wasting time In 🎯 the other day and noticed they had a full set of testers. I have always loved tonka bean in fragrances, it's one of my favorite notes. It is a predominant note in the fragrances I own. Needless to say I was so sad when the store closest to me didn't have any of it in stock... So I drove 7 miles across town to pick it up. THIS IS WHAT FALL SMELLS LIKE. Not syrupy sweet pie, mapley dessert concoctions... This is warm sweaters. Fall leaves freshly fallen in cool breezes. Warm fireside coffee with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. A sexy hint of skin when snuggled in a blanket. I am OBSESSED, and I can't wait to see how this pairs with some of my other fragrances. This has a good spillage, but it sure is nice to have someone lean in and tell you that you smell delectable. ❤️

Oh my, this is *the* cosy fragrance I’ve been searching for and I still can’t believe how cheap it is! Someone said it’s the olfactory equivalent of a cashmere sweater, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s warm and addicting, feels like a hug. It will definitely shine in the colder months but I’ve been using now that it’s summer and I don’t find it cloying at all. I wish longevity was better, but for the price I don’t mind reapplying during the day. (I just got it about a week ago so I’m curious to see if it will perform better when it’s colder). Definitely good for layering, but I’ve been enjoying it on its own too. I even wear it to go to bed because I can’t get enough. My only regret with this perfume is that I didn’t discover it earlier.

this scent really does smell like a warm cashmere sweater. to my nose and on my skin, this is a soft, warm almond scent with a veil of ambery vanilla draped over it in a comforting, velvety way. the overall drydown is more akin to cozy cotton candy. i really can't get enough of this; as someone said before, it's a really good cozy yet casual scent, the type that makes you yearn for more without being too cloying. it's kind of addictive, really. this scent profile makes the most sense in the fall/wintertime, but because of how light and well-blended it is, you can really wear it any time of the year. my only real gripe is that the scent isn't as strong a performer as i wish it was, but it's still amazing for the price.

This is such a beautiful fragrance. A twinkling sprite of lightly floral tonka vanilla cloud with some sort of light hearted fruit to keep things bright and swirly. While this perfume is sweet and flirty it never feels cloying. It’s perfect for a first date or hanging out by yourself in your favorite sweats. The only downside is it doesn’t last very long. Thankfully it’s affordable so I can reapply throughout the day. I bought the 0.5 ounce bottle for $12.00. I plan on not only getting a bigger bottle, but am also going to try this brands other fragrances. This fragrance is so pretty I’ve sprayed my scarf, my body and am holding back from dousing my sheets. I need a bigger bottle before I can do that!

For the price this stuff is great. Very warm and comforting gourmand scent. Definitely get a strong cherry not probably from tonka and benzaldehyde or and almond note. Sweet, warm, cherry. Would be perfect for the fall. It's unisex but I would prefer it on a female. The sillage is very intimate and performance isn't amazing. I'd say maybe 3 hours but for the price just fill an atomizer and reapply. Perfect bedtime scent for me.

This is hands down the best $20 I've spent on any fragrance! Solinotes can be worn alone, of course, but I always find myself layering, and also having to pace myself - I could really wear this every single day, lol. I wish Fragrantica would list the complete list of notes as stated online: Top notes : Mandarin Flower, Petit Grain Heart notes : Tonka Bean, Vanilla Bottom notes : Amber, Musk

Lovely, vanillic tonka that just hints at earthy tobacco. It is not complex, but it is creamy and delicious. It isn't ultra long-lasting, but it does linger nicely for several hours. For the price, this is an absolute steal. Update: I woke up today and can still smell this in my clothes, and it is as good as it was yesterday. Kinda boozy, but not naughty. Highly recommend this.

The only other tonka scent I've tried has been Commodity Tonka which seems a bit harsh, strong and cloying compared to Solinotes. Even though it is much lighter in both longevity and sillage than Commodity, I prefer the Solinotes because the overall fragrance is much smoother and better blended on my skin. It's way easier to wear than the Commodity. Rating: 🍒🍒🍒🍒🍒 Cruelty free 🐾

I love this perfume, I have used this for about two years now. I buy it at my local pharmacy every few months, it is a nice layering scent, I spray it after showering and carry it around in my purse. It is not long lasting or very interesting but you will smell clean and sweet, more interesting than vanilla. To me this is a nice older sister to a simple vanilla perfume.

While I lean more toward Vanilla than Tonka, I'm glad I gave this a try. It smells much nicer on me than the brand's Vanille fragrance. The Tonka is more forward than the Vanille and it has more staying power. Still, I was surprised that this was labeled as "perfume" and not toilette water because of the weakness. I like using it with a vanilla hand cream that I have.

This is a unisex fragrance slightly leaning feminine. I don't get that much tonka bean as the name suggest but I do get a lot of cherry in the opening, and mid. It's pretty decent for the price but it's very weak for a edp. Definitely to overspray this if you want any kind of longevity or sillage. Scent: 6.5/10 Longevity: 2-3 hours

This is so beautiful. I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother had horses. She used to spray them with something called Show-Sheen after giving them a bath. I know it sounds strange, but I loved the smell of that stuff and this reminds me of it. It’s everything I love about vanilla and spice! Too bad it doesn’t last.

Im almost out of my second bottle of this,I am dying to buy it again 💀💀💀cuz its the perfect one for those days when i don’t feel like wearing a perfume but a still want to smell nice yet simple but in a good way, damn it’s just impossible to find where I live, Is there any other similar ones to this?

Received this for Christmas as everyone knows I love “vanilla-type” fragrances. There is tonal, vanilla and just a slight milk or cream note. Very wearable for me, blends into my skin and feels very natural. I will be enjoying this one for a long time I think.

Solinotes knocked it out of the park with this one! I had my nose on the Vanilla and this Tonka one. The Vanilla is definitely artificial vanilla - but omg the TONKA! I get cinnamon, vanilla tonka warm milk coming right out of the pot. 15/10 for me. LOVE !

I really like this scent. I don't get any plastic doll head, play doh or alchohol blast. It reminds me of a sweet cherry pipe tobacco with some vanilla. It would be great to layer, but I rock it all by itself. Big compliment getter and definately unisex.

This is my FAVORITE solinotes! I love wearing it alone and layering. Day, night, hot, and cold!!! It's affordable too so that's a plus. It is sweet but I still see it as perfectly unisex. I feel that way in general about fragrance. It's just so cozy!

I love this. Sprayed it once & was hypnotized. Couldn't leave the store without it. I get a boozy pie crust scent.. but in a sexy and cozy type of way. Lasts 5 hours on skin. Lovely on it's own, but can be layered with just about anything as well!
