Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade, Sample
Tonkade by Laboratorio Olfattivo is a fragrance for both women and men, crafted by the talented perfumer Marie Duchêne in 2020. This scent unfurls like an imaginary dance, a sensual ritual balancing sweetness and mystery. The composition opens with the creamy warmth of tonka bean, which is immediately enlivened by the sweet, slightly tangy aroma of dried fruits. A hint of cardamom adds a spicy, aromatic edge, while neroli introduces a soft, floral brightness that complements the initial sweetness.
As the fragrance develops, its heart reveals a rich blend of vanilla and cashmeran, offering a smooth, velvety texture that envelops the senses. Patchouli adds an earthy depth, grounding the composition, while Atlas cedar imparts a subtle, woody nuance that enhances the fragrance's complexity. The journey continues as the base notes emerge, where the comforting embrace of tonka bean and vanilla persists, now joined by the smoky allure of incense. Amberwood provides a resinous warmth, while a whisper of musk adds an intimate softness that lingers.
Together, these notes create a mysterious and beguiling scent that is both captivating and comforting. The interplay of dried fruits, spices, precious woods, and resins forms a fragrance that dances between light and shadow, sweetness and depth. Each element plays its part in this intricate olfactory choreography, leaving a lasting impression that is both intriguing and inviting.
