The review
Arabian Tonka scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Arabians Tonka.
Pearl Fragrance sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Arabians Tonka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $38 per 100ml it costs 80% less than Arabians Tonka — the 10th cheapest of 16 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 Pearl Fragrance 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
Montale Arabians Tonka is saffron and bergamot at first, oud and Bulgarian Rose at its heart and Tonka Bean, sugar cane and amber at the end. Pearl Fragrance set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- oud
- Bulgarian Rose
Base
- Tonka Bean
- sugar cane
- amber
For the one who wants a nuclear-projecting sweet tonka-and-saffron blend over rose and oud, warm, gourmand and impossible to ignore in any room.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
