2040 Nectar Tonka joined the Courrèges portfolio in 2020. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the east family. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Benoist Lapouza. The fragrance belongs to the Colognes Imaginaires collection. Available as eau de parfum.
France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. 2040 Nectar Tonka Courrèges unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
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 2040 Nectar Tonka is shaped as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Courrèges is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Gourmet and Spicy forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a peppery-spicy mood: Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Tonka bean and Vanilla. Here 4 notes work as one integrated frame, forming voluminous spicy depth that reads as cohesive from the start.
The inner phases are read as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Spicy and Gourmet. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to East.
Overall 2040 Nectar Tonka sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood through real development.
