TONKA KAMARU | Tonka Kumaru is a gourmand, sensual creation that reveals the tonka bean in all its depth. Every facet is carefully shaped, revealed, and amplified to express its singularity.
The fragrance unfolds with almondy notes of tonka lifted by the freshness of bergamot and the spiciness of cardamom.
In the heart, roasted barley and hay absolute enhance tonka’s dry, warm nuances, while cedar leaf brings structure, depth, and texture to the composition.
In the base, the roasted tonka bean fully unfolds. Elevated by raw Madagascan vanilla, its gourmand and milky facets shine through. Paired with amber and musks, it gains intensity, sensuality, and a lingering, enveloping warmth.
Tonka Kumaru is a modern tribute to an exceptional raw material, where each note is crafted to reveal and amplify the tonka bean’s full richness and complexity.
