BDK Parfums Velvet Tonka — Type Formula
Orange blossom and almondy heliotrope wrapped around a huge tonka-vanilla heart.
A Parisian gourmand built on the coumarinic warmth of tonka bean, softened by neroli and powdery heliotrope. Tobacco and benzoin give the drydown its velvety, slightly smoky sweetness.
