Tonka Extraordinaire

There is a warmth that feels less like weather and more like memory.

Roasted hazelnut and sesame wrap around something softer — almond and heliotrope lending a powdery, almost edible sweetness that never tips into cloying. Frankincense brings a whisper of smoke; myrrh and labdanum deepen it, resinous and slow. At the centre, tonka bean smoulders like an ember left in the dark — coumarin-rich, nutty, faintly vanillic. Iris lifts the whole thing just enough to keep it breathing. The result is dense without being heavy, golden without being sweet: the kind of warmth that settles close and stays.

Its perfumes are imagined in London and crafted in France using ingredients sourced from Grasse, and the company is certified as a B Corporation, reflecting a commitment to eco-conscious practices and refillable, low-plastic packaging.
