An unexpected delight!

This is one of the best Zara fragrances, and Zara is one of the most underrated house ever IMO.

Zara have some awesome fragrances like my favourite Exclusive Oud, Tobacco Collection Rich/Warm/Addictive and Aromatic Future (a shameless dupe of Dior Sauvage)

Ganache Tonka is almost to good to be true, to my nose is like a Frankenstein fragrance composed from best parts from Dior Homme Intense, Guerlain Homme Ideal EDP and JPG Le male. Very smooth oriental fragrance. Good performances and beautiful bottle. And cost less that 20 Euros.

I doubt is a clone of another popular fragrance(like most of Zara fragrances).

I will use it very ofen this winter.

Soft Elegance

Ganache Tonka begins citrusy - herbal, but also sweet - floral.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to our perfumer "LenChen81" for the decant.

At first, one can perceive a pleasantly refreshing lemony note, which also brings a good portion of herbaceousness thanks to the bergamot.

At the same time, there is a very beautiful sweet - floral note that harmonizes wonderfully with the bergamot, giving the opening a pleasant uplifting quality and comes from jasmine.

Ganache Tonka does not have a real progression; it simply transforms over time.

In the further development, something beautifully bright - creamy, sweet - almond-like is noticeable, which is responsible for giving the fragrance a pleasantly soft and elegant aura and is due to the tonka bean.

There is also a fine aromatic and slightly spicy nuance present, which merges with the tonka bean into a whole and ensures that the fragrance gains a wonderful tangible depth, stemming from cardamom.

In the background, a pleasant gourmand note can be perceived, which also brings a nice hint of dark chocolate and comes from cocoa.

In the last 3 hours, something thick, sweet is noticeable, which gives the fragrance pleasantly cuddly attributes and is due to the bourbon vanilla.

There is also a very subtly creamy - spicy nuance present, which beautifully underlines the vanilla and provides a certain substance, coming from sandalwood.

In the background, something clear and clean can be perceived, which ensures that the fragrance does not fade dull or flat, but rather ends on a pleasantly bright and clear note, stemming from musk.

Overall, the fragrance lasts 8 hours on my skin.

The sillage is designed from the start to be clearly noticeable at half an arm's length, and this is maintained for 3.5 hours before it gradually diminishes until the fragrance finally completely fades away.

Very helpful Review 7

Creamy Dessert in the Indoor Pool

Scent:

Ganache Tonka by Zara starts with an unpleasant synthetic note that immediately evokes associations with the smell of chlorine in indoor pools for me. Especially when smelled closely, the opening of the fragrance is really not pleasant.
After a few minutes, the "chlorine" becomes quieter, recedes into the background, and allows a creamy gourmand vanilla-tonka-cocoa blend to take the lead.
In my opinion, this fragrance only becomes truly pleasant when, after 1-2 hours, the sensual heart notes of sandalwood and musk become present and mix with the previously mentioned notes.
For me, as a lover of many of the existing notes, the top note is unfortunately too unpleasant and is also the reason why Ganache Tonka will not find a place in my fragrance collection.

Longevity & Sillage:

The longevity of Ganache Tonka was good on my skin! The scent accompanied me for 7-8 hours after application. The sillage was rather subdued. After about two hours, the fragrance quickly became very close to the skin.

Versatility:

In terms of scent character, this is clearly a fragrance for the colder days, but I also find it suitable for spring with its moderate sillage. In summer and on hot spring and autumn days, I can imagine that the fragrance might become too sweet and, apart from that, face performance difficulties.
In my opinion, this fragrance is wearable by both genders.
