Tonka Bala

The intriguing marzipan notes of the tonka bean are made deliciously sunlit with woody petitgrain, exotic jasmine and coconut.

The rich, enveloping heart features a slightly sweet, slightly salty, vanilla-like gourmand accord. Hints of almond, marzipan and coconut beside honeyed hay and tobacco nestle into a smoky, spicy leather note that feels like wearing a well-loved leather jacket. The creamy, earthy sandalwood and slightly powdery musk notes in the base are subtle, yet deliver a seductive sensuality.

This unique contrast of the addictive nutty notes and the rugged, spicy leather, sitting on the smooth seductive base of musk and vanilla, create an empowering gourmand leather scent with a delicious sillage.

“Imagine a solar composition around powdery coconut and leathery sandalwood, where tonka lends the perfect amount of self-confidence in a captivating trail: power without force”

The BALA mantra is a powerful incantation recited to gain extraordinary strength, energy and resilience and this perfume has been created to realise these inner powers and a sense of immutable strength.

Perfumers Fanny Bal and Tanguy Guesnet were inspired by the third chakra (Manipura), the centre of energy responsible for self esteem to create this transformative scent. Using Tonka Bean LMR to activate the neural pathways to both self-esteem and cognitive memory performance, they designed this confidence boosting scent to uplift, enable and empower.

This warm and solar scent is a unique contrast of a moreish, creamy, nutty coconut and smoky soft leather notes. It sits on a smooth warm base of musk and vanilla to create smoky gourmand leather with powdery and nutty facets. Empowering and captivating.
