Tonka Sublime is a warm, Almond, Woody scent created for Men and Women by perfumer Gian Luca Perris.
Review
This scent is sweet and cozy. It almost feels like it’s already perfectly blended upon first spray. You get the Almond first, blended perfectly with the dark sweetness of Mirabella Plum, the warm and fruity essence of Davana, the sweet warmth of Tonka Absolute and the subtle sweet spiciness of Star Anise. Jasmine adds a faint hint of itself, really only adding a petally, slightly creamy depth that helps to boost the sweeter notes. Sandalwood, oftentimes naturally creamy in fragrance, adds a faintly sweet woodiness, and Amber its familiar sweet, warm depth. It feels like an Almond and Tonka bean scent with a very subtle fruitiness, and creamy warmth. It is cozy, inviting and enveloping without going too far into the Gourmand territory. As things dry down the Sandalwood reveals itself, breaking up the sweetness while still letting it thrive. It kind of feels like you have Almond and Vanilla candles burning while you’re relaxing in a cozy log cabin…..in the best way possible. The cozy sweetness of this scent feels perfect for the Fall and Winter months, but can be worn in any season and weather. It is a scent you can wear any time, place or occasion, being easily dressed up or down, and will last on the skin in its Eau de Parfum Extreme format. It has been compared to Amouage Material and shares similarities with BDK Parfums Velvet Tonka and Stellar Silk. TRY THIS SAMPLE AND LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
Inspiration
Tonka Sublime celebrates the Tonka Bean sourced from South America. It builds a cozy composition that brings forth this seed’s naturally Vanilla, Almond and delicate spicy nuances that reveal depth, sensuality and quiet sophistication.
Notes
This scent opens with the familiar essence of Almond. Slowly you get the subtle fruity elements of the Mirabella Plum and Davana, and the petally, creamy elements of Jasmine. Just as the Tonka Absolute comes in, adding its own sweet warmth, Star Anise adds a bit of its own sweet spiciness. Sandalwood brings a soft sweet woodiness and Amber a soft sweet and warm depth. Just by looking at this composition, you might think this scent will be sweet on sweet on sweet, but it all blends together perfectly to create a warm and inviting soft creamy sweetness.Â
