Tonkin Tonka Jousset Parfums 2021

Musk is probably one of the most complex and ancient fragrances that accompanies mankind. For fragrant and ritual purposes. The combination of pheromonal substances and unique fixing abilities, long-lasting aromas and the very own reception of the multi-layered experience, make each fragrance with musk different and special, on the respective, individual skin chemistry.

A very special combination in itself.

With many other natural musk varieties dominates the "special" quality of the carrier scent of animal excretions. So a male deer basically attracts the potential partner and informs other males about it: This is my kingdom. (Go away!)

When it comes to Tonkin Musk, I always "feel" a delicate sweetness and a deep warmth. It's hypnotic in a very special way. And this musk has a complex, almost floral DNA, rather than "area markers".

In Tokin Tonka, the warm musk pairs with a powdery and delicious pure tonka bean to create a very addictive and incredibly erotic scent. It penetrates my skin and increases its effect through and with my body temperature. (So, as since time immemorial, through all eras.)

The bottle resembles the snow-capped mountains and the natural habitat of Tonkin animals. The shell (in the limited edition) is an artifact moreover in itself. It is the artistic imitation of the shape and (hand-painted) color of the musk pod. The bottle placed inside thus represents the essence of this as an installation.

These natural ingredients embrace my soul and always carry me back to a time before ours. Hundreds of years back. Another life. Sitting by the fire. The smell of crisp, fresh snow and the cold air carrying and wafting in the scent of the wilderness.

A feeling of home.
