Arabians Tonka
Arabians Tonka by Montale is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the premium price tier. It opens with saffron and sweet orange, moves into oud and rose and dries down to tonka bean, vanilla and amber. Expect around 12 hours of wear, and it projects very strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Sweet Orange Juicy and cheerful. The friendliest citrus there is.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
