The review
Royal Tonka scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Tonka Impériale.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tonka Impériale's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 The Dua Brand 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
Guerlain Tonka Impériale is almond, bergamot and rosemary at first, Tonka Bean, honey and tobacco at its heart and Tonka Bean, vanilla and cedar at the end. The Dua Brand set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- almond
- bergamot
- rosemary
Heart
- Tonka Bean
- honey
- tobacco
Base
- Tonka Bean
- vanilla
- cedar
Toasted almond and honeyed tobacco over tonka; a gourmand with the bearing of a classic.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
