GuerlainTonka Imperiale
Almond sweetness tempered by sharp aromatics for a controlled, rounded presence
A bitter almond start, spiked with herbaceous rosemary and bright bergamot, sets a brisk tempo before settling into a deep, woody interior. The tonka bean here is not merely gourmand; it sits heavy and resinous against a backbone of dry tobacco, pine, and incense. Jasmine provides a fleeting, faint floral lift, but the scent remains rooted in cedar and smoke. It carries a substantial, lingering weight, moving from the initial citrus spark to a long, steady burn that clings to fabric and skin for hours.
