How it moves

Saffron and bergamot hit first, the way an opening line should. Oud and Bulgarian Rose are where it actually lives. Last to go: Tonka Bean, sugar cane, amber, white musk and oakmoss.

What wearers say

4.19 out of 5 across 7,766 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.

  • Celebrated as a true powerhouse with enormous projection and longevity, blending sweet tonka, saffron and subtle oud.
  • Many call it addictive and cozy, though a few detect a synthetic edge in the sweetness.
  • Regarded as excellent value for a beast-mode gourmand, best applied sparingly to avoid overwhelming.

Who made it

Pierre Montale composed it in 2019, for Montale in France. Part of Montale's Arabian-inspired line, Arabians Tonka evokes noble Arab horses through spiced saffron, rose, tonka and oud in a powerhouse gourmand blend.
