Tonka bean is an ingredient full of contrasts, sometimes
reminiscent of vanilla leather, sometimes of almonds, sometimes
even revealing chocolatey facets. Velvet Tonka is characterized by
its trilogy of tonka bean, orange blossom and almond. When worn on
the skin, it coats it like an oriental delicacy dusted with icing
sugar. The balmy tonka bean is adorned with almonds and rose petals
for a velvety touch, and with a hint of tobacco absolute to give it
a honeyed feel. In the base, addictive notes of milky amyris wood
unfurl, enhanced by ambroxan and vanilla absolute for an
unparalleled velvetiness and sensuality. Velvet Tonka is a tribute
to the Moroccan origins of founder David Benedek and to the
iconography associated with the region through its flavors and its
landscapes, like a sweet, indulgent breeze coming straight from the
Atlas Mountains.
