The opulent scent of Being Volume 3
Like Patchouli or Amber, Tonka reveals all the precious faces of this South American bean which, although often mentioned, was rarely revealed. Tonka or the oriental delicacy that is eaten then crunched to the full ... nose!
Reminiscence, perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin and tonka bean
When the precious Patchouli, Amber and Musk were born on the borders of the 70s, the wish of the designer who dreamed of them was to magnify a raw material, if possible oriental, by making it discover in all its facets thanks to other scents. The goal was to offer a perfume that would give thanks to the product much more than it would be made to be a marketing object.
“It is the meeting of know-how and craftsmanship in search of excellence, to sublimate the material, to tame it, to seek the absolute, the quintessence. Then, create the common thread of the note which gives the spine and its unexpected particularity. Reminiscent.
Although Patchouli was both an artistic and a commercial masterpiece, Réminiscence has never wanted to change direction in its 40 years of existence! So Tonka, like Vanilla the year before, would therefore be a fragrance that should make us discover the famous tonka bean in its finery while still using the bases of the olfactory palette proposed in 1970. A challenge that Fabrice Pellegrin took up again. once brilliantly to offer us a joyful, bright and gourmet Tonka.
“Combining the notes, revealing the chords, rounding off the composition, the art and the magic of know-how give Tonka a strong signature dressed in mystery, joy and elegance. Reminiscent of Tonka.
Warmth and delicacies for a precious Tonka fragrance
From the beautiful family of Reminiscence Classics, Tonka has kept the curved bottle but has lost a few stars on its bottle to better throw them on its bright pink case. Sober, the cabochon has changed from the original cylindrical shape into a pretty faceted steel cap.
The beautiful Tonka offers us an entry in its fresh and spicy aromas thanks to bergamot, anise and cloves reminiscent of the bitterness of the tonka bean. Then the greediness of the honeyed notes mixed with the almond provides a gingerbread effect which will be reinforced by the wild labdanum. Jasmine adds its flowery opulence to this gourmet heart coated with tonka bean. The depths of vanilla and white musks illuminate this Tonka which is meant to be deep, soft and warm.
“A perfume where the Tonka Bean is declined in all its seams, slightly aniseed and subtly rounded off by a trace of Honey and Anise… Reminiscence tames the material, the sublime and the sign of its imprint with Tonka. Reminiscent of Tonka.
