Le Labo Tonka 25

What it is: Tonka 25 is spicy, humid, and almost dank, creating an impression of woodrot that’s enhanced by a swirl of vegetal musks. Orange blossom’s gift to Tonka 25 is a green, waxy brightness that feels like a honey candle glowing through a knot of hemp. Finally, enter styrax resin, blessing the drydown with a leathery, smoky richness.

Fragrance story: This one is dark. A good, addictive, warm dark, as if the humid summer underwoods, their seeds and resins, were sprinkled with layers of musks and sweetened with drops of vanilla. It evokes the smell of warm skin and resinous wood. The perfumer’s notes say orange flower absolute, the unique cedar atlas, styrax resins, absolute tonka, and musks... We say TONKA 25.

Style: Woody, Musky, Vanilla.

Notes: Musk, Atlas Cedar, Tonka Bean, Orange Blossom.
