Journey to the Orient
The Arabians Tonka by Montale definitely lives up to its name, I think you have this typical oriental, eastern Arabian flair through the saffron, the rose and of course the synthetic oud typical for Montale but of course as in the name a strong sweetness through the tonka bean. Like other Montale fragrances, the harsh synthetic after spraying can be very off-putting for most people, but this subsides after a few minutes and then develops into the oriental fragrance you imagine here with the strong sweetness from the tonka bean and the sugar but also at the beginning with the slightly spicy and oriental-inspired saffron, which in fairness reminds a little of MFK's Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait but generally very solid fragrance for rather wintery, cold and dark days.
