Montale Arabians Tonka, Sample
Arabians Tonka by Montale is an Amber Woody fragrance for women and men, introduced in 2019. This scent unfolds with an opulent opening, where the luxurious warmth of saffron intertwines with the bright, zesty notes of bergamot. The saffron imparts a rich, slightly leathery aroma that is both exotic and alluring, while the bergamot adds a fresh, citrusy sparkle, creating a captivating first impression that is both vibrant and complex.
As the fragrance develops, the heart reveals the dark, mysterious depth of agarwood, also known as oud, which lends a smoky, resinous character that is both intense and intriguing. This is beautifully balanced by the opulent sweetness of Bulgarian rose, whose velvety petals add a floral richness that softens the intensity of the oud. Together, they create a heart that is both bold and romantic, enveloping the wearer in an aura of luxury and sophistication.
In the dry-down, the base notes emerge with a delectable combination of sugar cane and tonka bean, which impart a creamy, gourmand sweetness. This is complemented by the warm, resinous amber that adds depth and complexity. The soft musk and earthy oakmoss provide a smooth, grounding effect, rounding out the fragrance with an elegant finish that lingers like a whisper of timeless allure. Arabians Tonka is a testament to Montale's talent for crafting bold and memorable scents, each note harmonising to create a fragrance that is both imposing and enchanting.
