Top notesThe first spray

Heart notesOnce it settles

Base notesWhat lingers

Tonkara is Aromara's take on Montale Arabians Tonka, a rich spiced tonka bomb. Built at 35% Extrait. £40 for 50ml, instead of around £195.

Saffron, rose and spice open it, oud, incense and amber in the heart, over tonka bean, vanilla and musk. Warm, sweet and powerful.

35% Extrait. 7+ hour wear, guaranteed. 60 days to decide.

FAQ

Is Tonkara a good dupe of Arabians Tonka?

Tonkara matches the saffron, oud and tonka signature of Montale Arabians Tonka, built at 35% Extrait. We make it with oils from some of the world's leading fragrance houses, the kind that also make for designer and niche brands.

How long does Tonkara last?

7+ hours on skin, guaranteed. If it does not last 7 hours, you get a refund. Tonkara is an Extrait de Parfum, made at 35%. How long any scent stays depends on its notes, your skin and the weather: fresh, citrus and aquatic scents lift off sooner, while woods, amber, musk and vanilla stay with you for longer. Spray onto moisturised skin at your pulse points and let it dry without rubbing.

How much is Tonkara compared to Arabians Tonka?

Arabians Tonka is around £195. Tonkara is £40 for a 50ml Extrait.

What if I do not like it?

“I’d definitely recommend anyone that wants fragrances that last long and smells nice as the original to get it from here.”

My 4th purchase with Aromara, honestly amazing. I’d definitely recommend anyone that wants fragrances that last long and smells nice as the original to get it from here. The experience of the perfumes are just amazing.

Reply from aromara

Abdulmojeed, four orders in and still buzzing, that's the best thing we could read. Thank you for the recommendation too, lasting long and smelling true to the original is the whole promise, so it means a lot coming from someone who keeps coming back. Enjoy the Tonkara, it's a beauty.

  • VANILLA DUST... OMG
    The smell is amazing you wouldn't know rhe difference between Vanilla dust and Vanilla powder.... you don't need to use much as the fragrance is spot on and lasts all day.... so many people ask what fragrance I am wearing and compliment it ..... I can even smell it in the house when I return from being out for a while ..
    Would definitely recommend aromara.
