MONTALE PARIS ARABIANS TONKA EDP 100ml
Amber Woody, Sweet, Vanilla, Rose, and Saffron. It's a bold, fiery, and intoxicating blend that is both gourmand-leaning and classically Middle Eastern.
Top Notes: Saffron and Bergamot. The opening is bright yet spiced, with the distinctive slightly metallic, sweet-leathery aroma of Saffron creating an immediate sense of luxury, and Bergamot offering a brief, tart lift.
Middle Notes (Heart Notes): Agarwood (Oud) and Bulgarian Rose. The classic Middle Eastern Oud-Rose pairing is present, but the Oud is often described as smooth and non-challenging, serving as a woody backdrop for the Rose.
Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Sugar Cane, Amber, White Musk, and Oakmoss. The dry-down is dominated by a rich, multi-faceted Tonka Bean, which gives the fragrance its vanilla, almond, and slightly spicy sweetness. The addition of Sugar Cane and Amber amplifies the gourmand aspect, creating a dense, warm, and highly addictive finish.
Arabians Tonka is a legitimate "Beast Mode" fragrance. Its performance is legendary, with reviews confirming exceptional longevity (lasting all day and even after a shower) and enormous projection/sillage (it will fill a room and leave a strong scent trail).
