The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, Essence No. 10 Amande Tonka by Elie Saab is an Oriental fragrance that captures the essence of warmth and sophistication. The composition begins with a bright aromatic note that gradually gives way to rich almond and vanilla, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and depth. The woody base notes, enhanced by warm spices and balsamic accords, ensure a lasting presence on the skin.
Given its enormous sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient to make a lasting impression. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so it's best applied just before stepping out for optimal impact.
