Collection: Tonka Bean Fragrance Collection
Tonka Bean Fragrance
Tonka bean fragrances deliver a distinctive warmth characterized by sweet, vanilla-like notes with hints of almond, caramel, and spice. Derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree native to South America, tonka bean has become a prized ingredient in perfumery for its rich, complex aroma profile.
The tonka bean note provides depth and longevity to fragrances, creating a smooth, comforting base that balances both sweet and slightly bitter facets. Its natural coumarin content produces the characteristic hay-like sweetness that blends seamlessly with woody, oriental, and gourmand compositions.
