"Boah, it's beautiful," was my first impulse thought upon spraying it on (I think I said it out loud, too), which is not that common.
Baby almond powder and a bit like
Loukhoum Eau Poudrée I smell here ad hoc, only softer.
Sweet powder is now times my Beuteschema, that I find the however sooo beautiful, I would not have expected nevertheless.
Very delicate and somewhat sweet, but not sugary slaying, I feel him also not very marzipanlastig as last tested by me
Heliotrope Eau de Toilette , because really fat marzipan I do not like at all!
It's not gourmandy sweet, sweet yes, but the powder combination makes it NOT edible.
The scent is quite linear, which doesn't bother me as I already find the top note to be very nice, as it progresses only a gentle woodiness adds to it, which prevents it from drifting into too sweet realms.
Individual Duftnotehn I smell here hardly out, for me it is a powdery, velvety, sweetish melange.
Going back to the title; Velvet Tonka to me is cozy and elegant at the same time, which is why I think of a carefully made up woman in a satin morning coat, lying on the sofa with a glass of champagne and dozing off to the music of Katie Melua or Michael Buble.
For me, the fragrance is rather feminine, for me Velvet Tonka would be too soft on a man, but of course that's just my personal assessment.
In any case, Velvet Tonka has positively blown me as well as "Gris Charnel | bdk Parfums" !
