Subtle and sophisticated apple pie

At first this seems like another wintery apple pie scent, and maybe it is, but it's an especially well-blended version that smells mouthwatering and delicious without being monotonously foody.

All the listed notes are at least slightly detactable. Tonka is the main star here, it's very powdery and smooth without any of the scratchiness that some other tonka fragrances can have. Due to the coumarin in tonka beans it smells a little cinnamon-like, which is always nice in combination with apple. This apple smells natural, more baked or cooked than freshly picked, thankfully without any traces of artificial green apple flavoring. A touch of rum adds life to the opening, so the scent smells like some kind of apple-infused booze at first, but it doesn't overstay its welcome.
Vanilla and balsamic notes make for a warm base. Together with the sweet, non-animalic honey it starts to smell like buttery honey wafers after a while.
My only criticism is that the pistachio is really subtle. I can detect a lovely nutty note, but I'm not sure if I would have guessed it was pistachio if I didn't know the notes.

Nevertheless this is really gorgeous for fall and winter. It's not an extremely strong scent, more daytime-appropriate, but I don't find it too soft either and it lasts perfectly fine on me. As there are already lots of very strong tonka/booze/fruit fragrances on the market, I actually appreciate that this won't knock anyone out.

I think it's easily unisex, but maybe a touch more feminine leaning. Men who prefer gourmands without any rough edges wouldn't raise any eyebrows wearing this though.

apple, tonka, and rum

This opens with some sweet and fruity green apple notes drizzled in light honey and paired with creamy tonka bean. The tonka bean is ofc the star of the show here and its sweet facets are amplified by a softly sweet vanilla. The rum note adds some boozy warmth in the heart. The dry down has hints of the pistachio, it’s sweet and nutty, with remnants of the tonka and vanilla.

Spring Gourmand

This is the second Pierre Guillaume I have tested after 4.1 Le Musc & La Peau. And here too, I was immediately thrilled. Normally, I have my issues with gourmand scents; they are usually too sweet, too heavy, too loud, too edible, and make me feel nauseous. The 31 Tonka Bodykon stands out in this regard. Yes, it is sweet. But not dense and heavy. In fact, I can detect every listed fragrance note quite well, even though my nose is certainly not very trained yet. It starts fruity and almost juicy with the apple. This note remains in the background throughout the entire scent journey and prevents it from becoming too sweet. I also perceive the rum note, but not at all boozy, heavy, or too alcoholic. The tonka bean, together with the vanilla, makes it beautifully creamy. Honey adds a pleasant sweetness. You feel as if you have just showered and applied a high-quality, slightly nutty (probably the pistachio) body lotion. I am already mentally geared towards spring in terms of fragrance, but I think the 31 Tonka Bodykon works very well even in warmer temperatures, especially because of the light fruitiness that persists throughout the scent. H/S in the upper midfield, perfectly sufficient for me, just right.
This is my first review, so sorry if it doesn't sound as professional and poetic as it does from more experienced noses.

Tonka Vanilla with Apple Schnapps

Vanilla fragrances seem to have been booming in recent years. I'm only thinking of Vanille Planifolia Extrait 21 by Guerlain, Vanille Leather by bdk, Les Heures Voyageuses - Oud Vanillé by Cartier, Imperiale - Vanille Malika by Chopard, Vanille de Tahiti by Perris Monte Carlo, Vanilla Powder by Matière Première, Oudgasm Vanilla Oud | 36 by Kayali, Infusion de Vanille by Prada, and of course Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford, just to name a few of the most well-known. The olfactorily related Tonka is not much different.

There is a fragrance that contains both tonka bean and vanilla, which is absolutely legitimate from Pierre Guillaume. However, with the rum in the fragrance notes, I automatically think of Spiritueuse Double Vanille in this constellation - one of the most successful vanilla creations for me!
Additionally, I see the apple in the lineup, which is also perceptible in the scent itself, but the opening is so boozy that I unfortunately have to think more of apple schnapps than anything else.

With rose-colored glasses on my nose, I could also interpret it as Calvados, but Berentzen apple fits it better for me. Despite the quite pleasant vanilla/tonka bean, there are unfortunately deductions. A bit of honey and a hint of benzoin can also be detected, and above all, there is a delicate veil of synthetics, which is absolutely fine given the brand and the execution. Pistachio is unfortunately missing in this creation.

According to Pierre Guillaume, Bodykon is supposed to melt the words "body" and "conscious" into "body consciousness" and emphasize the curves of the body as an aphrodisiac "skin-tight" shimmering tonka. So much for the official explanation, which sounds quite nice. In fact, Bodykon is just a slightly sweet vanilla/tonka fragrance, shifting between creamy and powdery, as they have become more common nowadays. Especially with rum, each of these creations has to measure up to the brilliant Spiritueuse Double Vanille by Guerlain. And there, Bodykon does not necessarily convince, as the apple note irritates more than it animates.

Perhaps I am too spoiled by the other reference vanilla fragrances and therefore cannot share the enthusiasm. However, anyone looking for tonka or vanilla with perhaps a special something could try their luck with this one.

A Gradient Chameleon or Winnie the Pooh Can Go Home

Since the fragrance was released in 2022, it has been on my watchlist. However, I never wanted to purchase a decant because I knew that the perfume department I trust carries Pierre Guillaume. The fragrance was released, and the selection in the perfumery promptly became smaller, almost disappearing entirely, and Tonka Bodykon was never available. Then finally, in May 2024, the selection was restocked, and I was able to test the Guillaume at last. And with every minute of testing that passed, I fell more and more in love with the scent.

Tonka Bodykon starts surprisingly fresh. Yes, I see in the notes that apple is included. However, I am surprised that it performs so well and is initially very present. We have a very crisp, green, fresh apple, not synthetic at all. As the scent develops, the apple remains ever-present. While it plays the lead role at first, it later takes on a supporting role. I can clearly detect the rum and honey joining in. By the way, this is not a Winnie the Pooh honey that comes off innocent and sweet, but rather a "I'm erotically licking the spoon clean" honey. I have no idea how it does it, but it makes Tonka Bodykon incredibly sexy and alluring. In the drydown, our initial apple is joined by tonka bean and vanilla. Now is also the time when all the notes unite into a fantastic overall concept.
Tonka Bodykon transforms but is at every moment attractive, captivating, gourmand, yet somehow still fresh. It suits every gender and every season. Especially in summer, I find gourmands difficult, but this one should work.

Longevity could be a bit better for me. However, you can confidently reapply it without it becoming overwhelming. The sillage is still great; the scent makes its presence known but doesn’t overpower. Unfortunately, this is one of the few fragrances where I quickly become nose-blind. It helps to spray it sufficiently on clothing.
I would have expected the price to be a bit higher, so I find the price-performance ratio to be excellent.

I wouldn't have expected such a chameleon from the notes, so I would really recommend everyone to give it a try.
