It's warm, sweet, and intensely coumarinic, with the smell of new-mown hay, vanilla, almond, and a quiet caramel depth that makes it one of the great natural fixatives and sweeteners in fine fragrance. Coumarin makes up 20-45% of the absolute by weight, but the full aromatic effect of tonka goes considerably beyond what isolated coumarin alone can deliver; the interplay of the remaining components adds a complexity and warmth that synthetic coumarin cannot replicate. With a longevity of over 400 hours on a smelling strip, it anchors a composition as well as any material in this collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAvailable in two forms: neat, as a pale straw-coloured paste that requires gentle warming to work with, and pre-diluted to 10% in DPG for immediate use without needing to melt or measure a solid.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Parfum Apothecary","offers":[{"title":"5ml (10% in DPG)","offer_id":43274695278657,"sku":"AB-TONKA-5ML-10DPG","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1g Pure","offer_id":48935541407809,"sku":"AB-TONKA-1G","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1221\/4102\/files\/Tonka_Absolute_Neat.png?v=1791967824","url":"https:\/\/www.theparfumapothecary.com\/products\/tonka-bean-absolute","provider":"The Parfum Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
