The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2022, Tonka Blanc by L'Artisan Parfumeur is a gourmand fragrance that marries the brightness of citrus with the warmth of vanilla and amber. Perfumer Alexandra Carlin crafts this scent to evoke a sense of indulgent comfort, where the sweet and aromatic notes blend seamlessly into a warm embrace. The composition starts with a burst of freshness from citrus fruits before transitioning to the rich and comforting tones of vanilla and spicy undertones.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to allow its rich notes to develop gradually. The citrus top notes fade within an hour but make way for the lingering warmth of amber and vanilla, which continue to evolve on skin throughout the day.
