Tonka Bean Perfume Oil

Warm, creamy, and softly sweet — tonka bean reads as a smoother, more nuanced alternative to vanilla, with a distinctive coumarin character that brings in hints of almond, hay, and light tobacco. The sweetness is refined rather than sugary, with a powdery warmth in the dry-down that gives it excellent longevity. It functions as both a standalone base note and a reliable fixative that rounds and anchors heavier oriental and gourmand compositions.

Works well in:

• Soy and paraffin candles — excellent hot throw, stable in most wax types
• Body and perfume oils — skin-safe at standard dilution, strong longevity on skin
• Wax melts and tart warmers — performs well, good cold and hot diffusion
• Melt-and-pour and cold process soap — colour-stable, minimal acceleration
• Reed diffusers and room sprays — projects warmly at moderate usage rates
