Vanille Tonka

Very unique vanilla! There's a softly herbal undertone that took a long time for me to place. I know it's the basil and carnation however what it smells like to me is a posh Christmas candle. Almost piney and the cinnamon only adds to that Christmas vibe. Rich waxy aromatic tonka and vanilla. Also feels shalimar esque on the drydown - vintage, rich vanilla smoke and spice.

Warm, resinous vanilla with a green, ashy tobacco leaf and touch of smoke. The light dusting of spices give it a slightly powdery feel, while the citruses and frankincense add a faint fruity nuance. Cozy, comforting amber scent. Consistent moderate projection for 2-3hr, longevity 8-10. Tobacco Vanille wishes it was this and not the cloying sweet mess it is to my nose. Reminds me of Royal Crown Sultan, warm and comforting with just the right amount of accents, but this is more powdery and has green instead of woody undertones.

Frankincense seems the most prominent note to me, alongside a lemony-cinnamon vibe. There is something faintly creamy underneath, but Vanille Tonka is a misnomer. Although not really alike, if you delight in Byredo's Gypsy Water you might like this too. Note: extra points to this house for selling 30 ml bottles.

This one had to “grow” on me a bit. Ordered a sample and tried it several times. I LOVE that it is not a vanilla with a ton of fruity or bakery notes. Just a clean, dry “adult vanilla” with herbaceous and pepper notes, very unisex. It has a very sophisticated scent profile and is well compounded. Great for colder months, but honestly this one can be worn all year. It is more of a skin scent, with very low projection. Going to take the plunge and purchase a bottle and also a discovery set! Also love the quality and history of this niche house.

Very cinnamon heavy on me. Christmas time perfume. I like it, but I wear it rarely. You have to wait the christmas-phase to pass, the you will experience a unique spicy vanilla scent. I like it, but it’s not my signature scent.
