Tonka Been Coffee

If there was a drink called tonka bean coffee, this would be it.
It smells of oily, roasted and still smoking tonka beans, black vanilla, dry cocoa powder, cardamom, dried fruits and dark wood - very smooth and exquisitely gourmand.

Beautiful Tonka & Vanilla scent

My absolute favorite scent. Beautiful complex but sweet scent, this one is perfect for any special occasion. The scent opens with a burst of sweetness, vanilla sweetness, and dries down to expose the tonka base note. The tonka is very noticeable, but not overwhelming. The scent has some woody accords aswell, but for me the vanilla dominates the scent, and I love it. It smells expensive and natural. Scent lasts long, about 7-8 hours of good performance for me. The projection is also pretty good, many of my friends notice my scent when I wear it. I love this house and this is my favorite scent that they've made. My only actual 10/10.

Tonka Bean Essence

Tonka by Laboratorio Olfattivo pleasantly surprises with its complex, dense sweetness featuring many nuances. It is an aroma where tonka bean clearly prevails, but is accompanied by sweet woods, vanilla, and light spices that fade with the development of the perfume. Additionally, a creamy and slightly lactonic note emerges, making it more inviting and even more delicious. Sometimes the scent reminds me a bit of Pure Tonka by Mugler without the coffee accord that perfects it, and of Chocolate Greedy by Montale in this cockpit aspect, but overall it seems to be going in its own direction.

I find it a delicious and high-quality aroma. I consider it ideal for cold weather, unisex, and for special occasions, more suited for night than day, with excellent longevity. In any case, it is a fragrance that one should know, along with Nerotic, the current best I have tried from this brand.

Underrated

In the opening, fruity notes can be heard, which are quickly replaced by a beautiful and balanced combination of tonka and vanilla. The scent is not too heavy for everyday wear, but the projection and sillage are still quite good. The performance is commendable for the price. Overall, a very pleasant and natural fragrance for various occasions, which also works well for layering.

The Illusion of Tobacco

Tonkade starts off surprisingly animalistic for me. The opening is resinous-spicy, almost oud-like, with a slightly sharp, almost urine-like facet. Cardamom and incense give it a dark, angular presence that is initially unsettling. It is not a pleasant entry - rather a scent that initially creates resistance and demands attention.
However, this oud association does not remain dominant. Soon, the picture changes significantly.
Tonkade reminds me strongly of a tobacco scent after just a few minutes - even though no tobacco note is declared.
As it develops, vanilla and tonka bean become more prominent. At the same time, incense and musk remain further in the background, complemented by a cool patchouli. This combination seems to create the tobacco illusion: a mix of resinous dryness, gentle, almost cashmere-like sweetness, and a musk-driven structure.
A sweet-smoky, rounded tobacco vibe emerges. No leather, no ashy smoke, no heavy cigar note - but rather cultivated, slightly vanillic tobacco with a fine veil of smoke.
I find this twist surprising, as I have not encountered this impression in official descriptions or previous reviews. It is all the more exciting to discover it for oneself.
Tonkade is not linear. It starts dark and challenging, shows a structured, slightly sharp patchouli phase in the heart, and ultimately culminates in a creamy-sweet drydown with a distinct tobacco hint. This clearly perceptible transformation gives it complexity and keeps it interesting for several hours.
The sillage is well noticeable but controlled - present without being loud. The longevity is very solid; on my skin, it remains distinctly recognizable for several hours and fades pleasantly close to the skin.
The presentation is also convincing: the bottle appears high-quality and solidly crafted. The cap is heavy, fits securely, and conveys quality. I especially want to highlight the spray head - one of the best I have tested so far. The spray mist is fine, even, and excellently dosable.
Tonkade demands patience and openness in the opening. But those who embrace the development will discover a refined tobacco illusion that does without a real tobacco note.
Tonkade is not a simple scent. But therein lies its fascination.

Opens unexpectedly with aromatic, almost medicinal patchouli. Transitions to a sweet tonka/vanilla syrup with powdery and dark woody notes.

Man, I thought I would love this. It's super heavy on the cardamom and woody notes, which overpower the rest.

The theme has been consistently executed. The name says it all. Tonka! The rest is just to round it out. A bit too one-dimensional for me in the long run.

A great cuddler for the cold days. A not too sweet tonka, rounded off with cardamom. A bit of incense at the end. Lovely.

Olympics of tonka beans and vanilla pods, cardamom and cashmeran can carry the torch. Very sweet and the longevity is incredible.

The dwarf digs in the earth and finds a wooden chest. But the wood is unfortunately very artificial. Inside is soft, sweet tonka-vanilla cream.
