Maison 21G - Terrific Tonka

Tonka is prized for its warm, sweet nutty notes that are reminiscent of hazelnut and almond. It also has a slightly sweet vanilla scent which balances the sharpness of the bean's woody notes. Tonka's intensively balmy, warm, and addictive character creates an aura of magic and mystery around anyone who wears this scent. It calms the mind and offers comfort, yet intrigue to anyone who falls under its seductive spell. Tonka forms the foundation of the oriental family in perfumery is widely used in the fine fragrance world. The Tonka bean is often deemed 'the Venus herb' due to its sweet smell and frequent use in love potions, often also called 'unicorn's dust' due to its apparent magical properties.

Featured notes
Learn more about the top, middle, and bottom notes in this fragrance.
Tonka beans are tiny, shriveled, black seeds from the Tonka tree found in Central and South America. Their slightly sweet, vanillic, and smoky hay scent adds a spicy, gourmand edge to a fragrance. Tonka beans work best in spicy and sweet scents featuring similar notes: clove, vanilla, heliotrope, bitter almonds, labdanum, cinnamon, etc. Their vanilla and hay-like scent is ideal for fall or winter, but usually blends well enough to wear any time you need a little sweet, warm spice to liven up the citrus or wood notes in a fragrance.

Our customers say
  • Warm and cozy scent that's great for winter and layering, as tonka and vanilla notes shine through, giving a comforting feel.
  • For some, it leans more masculine, with bergamot, cardamom, and pepper contributing to a robust yet clean fragrance.
  • Nostalgic and brings a sense of freshness; some find it reminds them of classic scents from brands like Banana Republic and Abercrombie & Fitch.
  • While the fragrance has a delightful tonka base, not all users find the additional notes as pronounced or long-lasting on their skin.
Ideal for fans of warm, spicy, and nostalgic scents, especially those who enjoy tonka bean's comforting aroma in their fragrance collection.

    Nice!
    I’m not sure exactly what it smelled like but it is a nice clean not overpowering scent. I won’t buy a bottle but I’ll definitely wear what I have.

    Layering scent
    Very Tonka of a scent, I didn’t pick up much else. It’s more of a layering scent, not to be worn alone as the other notes do not come through well enough. I wish it was more dynamic & multi-faceted. Not a terrible scent, but I wouldn’t buy the bottle. Glad I have a small amount to use as a layering scent this winter. It’s a great warm & cozy scent.
