The story behind the bottle.
Vanille Tonka by Nicolai Parfumeur Créateur is a Floral fragrance for women, expertly crafted by Patricia de Nicolai. The composition opens with the brightness of Amalfi Lemon and Basil, mingling with Mandarin Orange to create an initial freshness that cuts through the richness. As it develops, Cinnamon and Black Pepper introduce a warm spicy undertone, leading into the heart where Carnation and African Orange Flower add floral complexity. At its core, Vanille Tonka is defined by its base of Vanilla and Tonka Bean, enveloped in Amber and smoky Incense, creating an enduring warmth that lingers on the skin.
Apply Vanille Tonka as a parfum concentration, which means it will last longer but project closer to the skin. One or two sprays are enough — the initial freshness gives way to deeper notes over time, so avoid layering too much initially.
