Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

If I'm not mistaken, Tonka 25 is Le Labo's first gourmand fragrance. But something strange is happening with perfumer Daphné Bugey: she built the composition around orange blossom. Yes, again. Usually, orange blossom in gourmand fragrances is paired with vanilla. The perfumer decided to pair it with... But let's go in order. First, Tonka 25 feels sweet-citrusy, like candied lemon peels that haven't quite crystallized, yet it's not sticky or overly sweet. The vanilla-balsamic base of the fragrance appears almost immediately but then transforms into the illusion of toasted chestnuts with a caramel crust. Tonka bean absolute, which is rich in coumarin, is responsible for this effect. I think that here, tonka is mixed not only with ethyl maltol and vanillin but also with some material typically used in flavoring that smells of burnt sugar - dark brown, almost black. It might sound frightening, but it's actually incredibly beautiful because the very vertical I spoke of, composed of orange blossom (the citrus from the opening transforms into it), musk (which absorbs all excessive sweetness and fills it with clean, cold air), ambroxan, and Iso E Super (responsible for a calm amber-woody sparkle), makes the composition strictly ordered. The balsamic part of tonka beans, vanilla, and caramel, refined with benzoin, in the company of orange blossom, musk, and a woody-amber accord, creates the craziest gourmand cologne I've ever tried. How much contrast, meaning, brilliance of thought, and presence of an artist it contains. Yet the scent is comfortable, though not simple, fresh, surrounded by a warm, edible sweetness

This tonka bean scent is not ordinary at all. It's so delicate, like a touch on the finest skin or exquisite lace. Although tonka beans are mentioned in the name, they are actually just a background note. The main player here is cedar. The scent turns out very dry and woody, and tonka beans only add a light almond shade. It's truly inspiring! )

My husband brought me this perfume from his trip, and I was surprised by his choice. The scent is really interesting, I like everything from Le Labo so far, though the prices, of course, aren't pleasing. I'll have to save up a bit. This perfume, it seems to me, combines the bitter sweetness of resin, which struck me. Spicy notes of cedar create a cold sensation, and dry herbs, like sage, add depth. Vanilla here, undoubtedly, plays a key role, it seems to fill everything around 😔

The brand is interesting, of course, but its pyramid is actually much more complex than it seems at first glance. Sometimes it feels like there's something deeper and more layered hidden behind the outer shell )
