Fruity, fresh, sweet, delectable but well-blended and not completely gourmand
The latest release from Pearlescent Parfums is Tonkazure, a vibrant, sweet, fruity blend involving a base of tonka but more noticeably opening ensemble of champagne, blueberry, and blackcurrant, a really enticing description that largely seems accurate. It’s fresh, with grapes and berries, dessert-like, and yet not too heavy, giving way to a floral heart, and pleasant balanced base. “Tonka” being in the name throws me off a little bit, as it has a bright, fruity, almost candied character, without much of the sharp/nutty/semi-sweet that I associated with tonka-named or tonka-forward scents. Overall, I love it; it’s my favorite release of the Pearlescent line and among my favorites of the combined Pearlescent/Gallagher catalogue.
Tonkazure is priced at $125 for 60ml, in a shift of the brand’s pricing to be closer to that of the sibling company Gallagher Fragrances. It’s sold via the house site and great boutiques like Perfumology, with samples available from both.
