The review
Velvety Tonka scores 5.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Velvet Tonka.
The Dua Brand 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.
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
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. The Dua Brand 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.
