Tonka

Tonka from Le Couvent Maison de Parfum, composed by Alberto Morillas in 2024, is a warm gourmand built around tonka bean with citrus and a resinous base. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand, most also find it woody and citrus, and a minority mention spice, resin and amber.

Sweet orange and orange give the opening a juicy, sunny brightness, and cardamom adds a cool, aromatic spice. Rose brings a soft floral touch to the heart. Tonka bean is the star, with its warm, almond, hay and vanilla-like sweetness, joined by almond's marzipan softness. The base is resinous and rich: benzoin and Peru balsam give a sweet, balsamic warmth, vanilla a creamy depth and patchouli, including Indonesian patchouli leaf, an earthy richness.

Unisex in spirit, it suits people who love cosy, comforting gourmands. The profile points to autumn and winter, evenings and relaxed occasions, while the orange keeps it bright enough for daytime. Those who enjoy tonka and almond fragrances with a balsamic vanilla base should find it warm and inviting.
