Velvet Tonka by BDK Parfums is a Floral fragrance for women and men that was launched in 2021. Crafted by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, this scent is a harmonious blend of sweet and nutty notes, enveloping the senses with its rich and comforting aroma. The opening introduces almond and orange blossom, which quickly give way to the warmth of tonka bean and bourbon vanilla. A touch of tobacco adds depth, while rose oil and amberwood provide a woody backbone that anchors the composition.

Application Tips
Apply Velvet Tonka lightly to pulse points — it blooms beautifully on skin within minutes. The rich vanilla and tonka bean notes are best appreciated close to the body rather than across a room.
