Description

Tonka Gold by Atralia 100ml Eau De Parfum

Tonka Gold is the boozy one. Cognac, cinnamon and plum open it with a spirited, wintry warmth, myrrh and iris give the heart a resinous and powdery turn, and tonka, vanilla and sandalwood carry the finish. It is a cold-weather fragrance in the classic sense, closer to a glass of something by the fire than to a dessert.

Fragrance notes

• Top: Cognac, cinnamon, plum
• Heart: Myrrh, iris
• Base: Tonka, vanilla, sandalwood

What it smells like

The opening is warming and slightly fermented. Cognac brings a boozy richness with a suggestion of oak and dried fruit, plum deepens it, and cinnamon adds spice. It smells immediately like winter.

The heart takes a more serious turn than the opening suggests. Myrrh is a resin with a dry, faintly medicinal, balsamic quality, and iris brings a cool powderiness. Together they stop the boozy fruit becoming sticky, and they give Tonka Gold a grown-up character that most gourmands at this price lack.

The dry down is where the name earns itself. Tonka bean brings its distinctive almond, hay and vanilla warmth, vanilla reinforces it, and sandalwood adds a creamy woodiness. Smooth and comforting, sitting close to the skin.

About tonka

Worth knowing, since it is the headline note. Tonka bean comes from a South American tree and smells of almond, hay, vanilla and a little tobacco all at once. It is one of the most useful materials in perfumery because it adds sweetness without the flatness of pure vanilla, and it is the reason this fragrance stays warm rather than sugary.

Who is it for?

Unisex, and genuinely balanced. Boozy cognac gourmands are worn across the board, and the myrrh and iris keep it from leaning sweet in either direction. It suits anyone who likes warm, spiced, slightly resinous fragrances for cold weather.

It will not suit you if you want something fresh, or if boozy notes have not worked for you before.

Performance

Strong, thanks to a base built entirely on long-wearing materials. Expect a full day on skin with clear projection in the opening hours, and considerably longer on clothing. Two or three sprays are plenty.

When to wear it

Autumn and winter, and evenings in particular. The cognac and cinnamon want cool air around them, and this will feel heavy in summer. It suits dinners, celebrations and cold nights.
