The review
Bean XXV scores 7.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Tonka 25.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tonka 25's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $41 per 100ml it costs 81% less than Tonka 25 — the 4th cheapest of 5 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 Perfume Parlour 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
Le Labo Tonka 25 is orange blossom and bergamot at first, Tonka Bean and heliotrope at its heart and musk, cedarwood and amber at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- orange blossom
- bergamot
Heart
- Tonka Bean
- heliotrope
Base
- musk
- cedarwood
- amber
Tonka and orange blossom in soft focus, sweet, powdery and built for cold weather.
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 5 twins of Le Labo Tonka 25 we can price, Bean XXV is number 4 on price per 100ml.
