Velvet Tonka by BDK Parfums is like an oriental delicacy, dusted with icing sugar. This indulgent, seductive fragrance opens with orange blossom, tonka bean and almond after which sensual, woody notes are unveiled. A honeyed accord of amyris wood and tobacco intensifies the milky and almondy facets of the tonka bean, giving it a powdery, addictive sillage.
With Velvet Tonka, BDK founder David Benedek wanted to pay tribute to his Moroccan origins and to the iconography associated with the region through its flavors and its landscapes. Like a sweet, indulgent breeze coming straight from the Atlas Mountains.
Velvet Tonka is part of the COLLECTION MATIÈRES where each perfume draws its inspiration from an emblematic raw material of perfumery, which emerges with distinctive and unexpected dimensions.
Note from the perfumer, Alexandra Carlin:
"The scent of the tonka bean has always been one of my Proust's madeleines. Brazilian tonka bean enriches the perfumer's palette and creations with its warm and sensual almond notes. I am particularly fond of its balmy character and its hay milk aspect that makes it so addictive." - Alexandra Carlin
