Tonka Bean Bohdidharma — a 2015 fragrance that needs no introduction. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the fern and chypre families. Perfumer Michael Boadi poured every ounce of mastery into this one.
The birthplace of this fragrance — the United Kingdom, a place with a refined nose. Tonka Bean Bohdidharma — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Tonka Bean is built as an expressive line of development, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Bohdidharma is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Wood, Spicy, Musk and Ambery. The framework further includes Floral. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to Chypre and Fern.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect clean cedar opening notes: Patchouli and Tonka bean. Exactly these 2 notes build a sense of noble depth that anchors the first impression immediately.
When the opening settles you meet Sandalwood and musk keeping a structural woody direction. In the base the line is anchored through Ambergris and Noble Woods, shaping a dense amber trail.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Gourmet, Musc, Wood and Amber forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Overall Tonka Bean sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged in wear.
