How it feels
Tonka bean has a comforting, cozy scent that can evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth. It is often used in base notes of fragrances to provide depth and longevity. Tonka-based perfumes are well-suited for cooler weather and formal occasions, as the scent has a sophisticated, luxurious quality.
Use in perfumery

It is commonly found in the base notes of fragrances, where it provides a warm, sweet, and long-lasting foundation. Tonka is often paired with other gourmand notes like vanilla, almond, and caramel, as well as woody and spicy accords.
