WONDERFUL TONKA

Wonderful Tonka is a unisex extrait de parfum by Attar Al Has, the house founded in Istanbul in 2021 that blends Ottoman tradition with contemporary perfumery, signed by perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner. Part of the Summer Collection, created in collaboration with the historic French house Robertet, it is a rich and bold woody amber, elegant and sensual, with an unusual character that wins you over at first encounter.

The Fragrance

With the 2022 Summer Collection, Attar Al Has set out to capture the flavours of a golden summer, entrusting Robertet's perfumers with six sunny, refined extraits. Wonderful Tonka is the deepest and most mysterious of the series: it combines the freshness of a day at the seaside with the allure of the Orient, and makes tonka bean its signature, with a warmth that seems to crystallise on the skin. The house describes it as an ode to elegance and sensuality, a rich and bold perfume with an unusual, captivating trail.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is vibrant: black pepper sparks over grapefruit and an accord of mineral notes reminiscent of sun-kissed stone. In the heart, amber and cocoa intertwine with Turkish rose and lavender, in a balance of warmth, floral elegance and aromatic freshness. The base is enveloping and rich: tonka bean dominates over patchouli, vanilla, vetiver and guaiac wood, for a warm, woody and slightly gourmand trail.

Who We Recommend Wonderful Tonka To

We recommend Wonderful Tonka to those who love warm, refined fragrances with a grown-up sweetness that is never predictable. It is ideal for evenings, elegant occasions and the cooler seasons, and it appeals to anyone looking for a perfume with personality that leaves a lasting impression. Unisex, it suits male and female skin with equal ease.
