Tonka 25
Tonka 25 by Le Labo is an unisex eau de parfum from 2016 in the niche price tier. It opens with orange blossom and bergamot, moves into tonka bean and heliotrope and dries down to vanilla, musk and cedarwood. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Heliotrope Almond, vanilla and powder. Smells like marzipan and old-fashioned makeup.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
