The story behind the bottle.
Gian-Luca Perris crafted Tonka Sublime for Houbigant in 2025, bringing together a rich blend of sweet and woody notes that evoke the warmth of a well-loved home. The fragrance opens with almond and star anise, creating a bright and inviting aroma that leads into a heart of mirabelle plum, neroli, and jasmine. At its core, Tonka Bean and sandalwood provide a deep, comforting base, while davana adds subtle complexity. This composition is a proof of the Houbigant legacy of blending elegance with warmth.
Apply two sprays to ensure that the rich base notes have time to develop. The sweet top notes are fleeting, so a second application later in the day will keep this fragrance close and comforting throughout.
