Laboratory Perfumes Tonka Eau de Toilette, 100ml at John Lewis & Partners

An exotic fragrance capturing the zeal of mandarin and complex pink peppercorn alongside warm woody aromatics, finishing with the earthy, floral vanilla of the Peruvian tonka bean.

Tonka’s story began in a jar of pink peppercorns. Rummaging in the kitchen spice cupboard, we discovered that beneath their peppery notes, they have an intriguing floral fruitiness to their aroma.

In the laboratory we mingled the peppercorn scent with the exuberance of mandarin, and added a layer of depth and richness with toasty woodland aromatics. The finishing touch is provided by the vanilla-tobacco notes of the tonka bean – its captivating earthiness binds the fragrance together, and gives our complex and elegant scent its name.
