it's quite delicious...
It doesn't seem to be received very well here, but if you're looking for something unusual, a gourmand that isn't too sweet, this is a big hit in my eyes. It's a somewhat bold Cologne idea.
It definitely smells like hazelnuts. Roasted hazelnut oil has a coffee bean-like scent, which I also perceive a bit here. In the top note, there is briefly a fruity sweetness that I can't quite identify.
I can't recognize the tonka bean; maybe it's just well blended with the hazelnut. After all, there is an aromatic kinship; both smell nutty, warm, woody, slightly sweet, and a bit dry to musty.
I like it this way, a gourmand that doesn't overwhelm all your scent receptors at once, no attack of synthetic killer molecules.
I also find it well wearable for men, although I usually struggle with other unisex fragrances; if I like them, I wouldn't like them on a man and vice versa.
The longevity is surprisingly good.

Conclusion: "crack!" (the breaking lance)

edit.: I forgot to rave about the beautiful refillable bottles. And if a philistine doesn't like the scent, he could theoretically unscrew the bottle, for example, add a few drops of tonka bean extract, close it again, shake...unimagined possibilities are contained here.

Was nothing
Yesterday I wanted to give it another try and tested the fragrance once more. In my last trial, I chose Plum & Honey. This time there was no competition. I sniffed, and after the initial spray of Urmama 4711 faded away, it simply smelled harsh. Not like nuts and not like the warmth of tonka bean. It was most comparable to burnt nuts or almonds in scent. Quite harsh and piercing. I didn’t want to smell like that on my body. Fortunately, this fragrance faded away quite quickly for me.

Just missing the carousel ...
We are currently at the fair - with all the bells and whistles.
Carousels, Ferris wheels, bumper cars, raffle booths, and plenty of stalls with various treats like chocolate kisses, candy canes, cotton candy, and of course the obligatory roasted almonds, hazelnuts, etc.
And because it’s fair time, we have a discount in our perfumery. I wanted to take advantage of this discount and thought I might ask if they already have these two new releases from 4711 in stock.
Lucky me - they just arrived.
So I quickly tried them - one paper strip with 'Hazel & Tonka', one strip with the other new release 'Plum & Honey' sprayed.
Both smelled good on the strip, so they were allowed on the skin - 'Hazel & Tonka' on the left, 'Plum & Honey' on the right.
I immediately regretted spraying on the left side - I really didn’t need that much fair.
That's exactly how 'Hazel & Tonka' smells - like those roasted nuts just before they burn.
And then nothing else comes after that.
It's unfortunate when a perfume has mediocre longevity.

Addendum: I must correct myself - something does come after all. I’m not exactly sure what it is, but it’s something that makes this scent feel 'off-balance' even as it fades - hence the downgrade to 20%.

Stick to your last!
Since my regular perfumery already had a small tester bottle of the two new Acqua Colonia fragrances, I took the opportunity to test both. I was particularly curious about Hazel&Tonka. I actually quite like the other fragrances in the Acqua Colonia line, but I wouldn't wear most of them myself, as they are simply too fresh for me. At least not for the long term. For me, it has to be something warmer and stronger.
After applying Hazel&Tonka on my skin, it takes a moment longer for the alcohol to evaporate. You can clearly tell that this is an Eau de Cologne. Gradually, a slightly smoky note unfolds, but I can't really detect hazelnut or tonka bean as such. The smokiness strongly reminds me of the note in "un bois vanille" by Serge Lutens, but completely without the vanilla. Just smoky (wood?). In general, I find it difficult to identify any note in this fragrance at all. If there are nuts in it, they are definitely roasted. While I keep sniffing my wrist, not really taken by the scent, I think to myself: 4711 should stick to fresh fragrances, as they do that quite well.
However, after a longer time and repeated sniffing, I must admit that the scent is not as bad as I initially thought. It is much softer than at the beginning, and now I believe I can also detect hazelnut. Unfortunately, tonka doesn't really make an appearance here either or is better sniffed. Towards the base, the scent is still slightly perceptible on the skin, and I somehow feel like the fragrance doesn't just vanish but gently fades away. Like a song that gets quieter towards the end but is still audible longer than expected. I hope it's clear what I mean. The longevity is mediocre, but relatively speaking, for a cologne, it's quite okay.
Hazel&Tonka will very likely not join my collection (one should never say never), but it is definitely worth a test.

Here the dilemma of some new 4711 fragrances becomes apparent. Gourmand notes like these hardly harmonize with the underlying citrus.

Another charmer from 4711. Much less gourmand than expected and therefore suitable for high temperatures. Refreshes well.

Sweet nutty roasted aromas on a Cologne base. It smells off, but also bold and interesting!

Not only does it sadden me that you don't come.
Hardly are you here,
your scent has already faded.

Pleasant, gourmand. Sweet, but not too sweet. Smells really like hazelnut and tonka bean. No development. Sillage short/weak.

At first, the scent feels quite fresh on me, but gradually the sweetness increases, likely due to the tonka bean. No hazelnut in sight...

Oops:
I first sprayed a nut-vanilla scent and then layered it with 47/11 - a challenging duet of sharp-fresh vs gourmand-sweet.

Alcoholic start, then subtle makeup powder. Very quickly becomes very close to the skin. Could be violet or a restrained iris.

Very gourmand, but less loud. It’s not very present for me. I use it for layering. I wouldn’t repurchase it.
