Tonka Blanc in detail
L'Artisan Parfumeur, the Paris house founded in 1976 by Jean Laporte, gathers garden-inspired fragrances in Le Potager. Alexandra Carlin signs Tonka Blanc there, conceived like a chef's dessert around a vegetable, cauliflower; the house files it among both its fruity and its amber scents.
The house publishes three key ingredients, without sorting them into stages. Cauliflower, as a gourmand note, brings a milky, slightly nutty softness. Sweet, honeyed orange blossom lights it up. Tonka bean, with almond and hay accents, wraps it.
Tonka Blanc is worn in autumn and winter, by day or in the evening. It is a surprising yet gentle gourmand, for those who like tonka without too much sugar. It suits a winter afternoon as well as a dinner.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its orange blossom: Tolu by Ormonde Jayne and Zafferano by Acqua di Parma also pair it with tonka bean; Althaïr by Parfums de Marly likewise rests on orange blossom.
