Venezuelan Tonka Bean

Venezuelan tonka bean is a highly prized fragrance ingredient derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree, native to northern South America. It has a warm, sweet, and slightly nutty aroma with notes of vanilla, almond, and leather.

Fragrances featuring Venezuelan tonka bean tend to evoke a warm, comforting, and sophisticated mood. The scent is often associated with feelings of coziness, relaxation, and indulgence. Tonka bean-based perfumes can be worn year-round, but are particularly well-suited for cooler weather and evening wear.

Tonka bean is a versatile fragrance note that is commonly used as a base note in perfumes. It pairs well with other warm, woody, and gourmand notes like vanilla, amber, and sandalwood. Tonka bean is often found in men's fragrances, as well as in some floral and oriental-style perfumes.
