The review
Aariz Absolu scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Velvet Tonka.
Anau Store sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Tonka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $49 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Velvet Tonka — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Anau Store publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
BDK Parfums Velvet Tonka is cinnamon, bergamot and cardamom at first, Tonka Bean, tobacco and immortelle at its heart and vanilla, sandalwood and musk at the end. Anau Store set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cinnamon
- bergamot
- cardamom
Heart
- Tonka Bean
- tobacco
- immortelle
Base
- vanilla
- sandalwood
- musk
Cinnamon-dusted tonka and tobacco over vanilla, plush, boozy-warm and built for December.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of BDK Parfums Velvet Tonka we can price, Aariz Absolu is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Bujairami Dusk till Dawn $33/100ml
