Purely Orient - Tonka Ajmal
1
Tonka and oud statement
Ajmal Tonka is a tonka and oud statement.
Very dry and woody. Almost abrasive. This combination will dominate and be present throughout the life of the perfume and may become too overwhelming for some noses. Once the absolute dominators of the fragrance take hold, a warm combintation of spices becomes noticeable, as well as soft fruity and tobacco nuances. Vanilla (or amber) shines to soften the edges and provide a sensual and shy sweetness. After many hours you can smell certain woody nuances apart from the oud.
It's a sweet perfume, almost very sweet, and it's strong, with a lot of personality and a lot of body. I think that, like rarely, the olfactory pyramid perfectly describes the perfume.
Honestly, the fragrance never becomes completely "pleasant" due to the character of the tonka bean, but after a couple of hours it fortunately becomes more wearable. I think this perfume is not made to be smelled up close, because it can be very invasive, however, in the air it is another story... it smells wonderful and you can tell by its power.
I'm not really interested in talking about compliments, but others seem to like Tonka a lot. The sweet and warm aura is extremely pleasant for the people around you. It's a comforting aroma and my loved ones have let me know.
What I like most about this perfume is that it lives up to its name in the best way possible. If you want a Middle Eastern interpretation of Tonka, this is it.
It feels very natural and complex. The perfume has an interesting evolution with monstrous longevity and projection on my skin. Due to the fragrance profile, I would recommend it for not so hot climates. In winter it's spectacular.
