The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Bronze Tonka by Carolina Herrera, launched in 2018, is an Oriental Spicy fragrance that blends the warmth of tonka bean and saffron with the depth of oud and leather. The metallic accents add a modern twist to the traditional woody and powdery base notes, creating a scent that feels both classic and contemporary. This composition is a proof of Carolina Herrera's enduring commitment to elegance and sophistication.

How to wear it

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient. The fragrance develops gradually over time, so it's best to apply in the morning for a full day’s experience. It pairs well with a cozy evening at home rather than a casual daytime setting.
