With Tonka Sublime, Houbigant pays tribute to one of South America’s rarest treasures: the tonka bean. Revered for centuries as a symbol of passion and good fortune, it reveals a creamy fusion of vanilla, almond and gentle spice. Elegant yet powerful, nostalgic yet modern, the tonka bean lends depth, sensuality and a soft sweetness to every fragrance.
Tonka Sublime unfolds with gourmand brightness: star anise adds a whisper of spice, rounded by the juicy sweetness of mirabelle plum and the creaminess of almond, while neroli brings a radiant freshness. At the heart, jasmine blossoms alongside the velvety richness of davana and the smooth warmth of tonka bean. As the fragrance settles, the base unveils a refined sensuality — sandalwood melting into the golden glow of amber, leaving behind a magnetic and sophisticated trail.
Together with Ambre Rubis, Rose du Désert and Vanille Impériale, Tonka Sublime belongs to the Collection Les Ambres. This collection captures the most precious and emblematic elements of the Orient, reimagined through a sophisticated and contemporary olfactory alchemy. Each creation blends multi-faceted amber with an avant-garde touch, offering a timeless sensory immersion.

Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are sweet, tempting and mouthwatering. Just as much we enjoy eating sweets, perfumers are inspired by the addictive character of the almost edible notes. Gourmand is the collective name for sweet delicacies. Think of chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla, coffee, caramelized sugar, bubblegum or licorice, yummmmm.
