  1. Emorandeira

    Picked this up on sale for €7.95; it’s a standard, sweet, and soft EDT, ideal for smelling good in everyday life. I debated between this and Absolute Sublime; I ended up choosing this, but later thought the other dried better and felt more special, as Tonka Wood reminds me of perfumes I already have, like Code Profumo. The most noticeable notes are tonka bean and praline on a fruity base. It’s unisex and discreet. Scent: 8, Longevity: 7, Sillage: 5, Value: 10 (great at the price I paid; at €29.95 I’d rate it a 5 since there are better options), Versatility: 8, Overall: 6.5.

  2. Smells very strong and is definitely for men. Projection and longevity are good for the price, but personally, I didn’t like it. Scent: 2/10, Longevity: 8/10, Sillage: 8/10, Value: 7/10, Versatility: 2/10, Packaging: 7/10. Would I buy it again? No.

  3. Smells very potent and definitely masculine. Longevity and projection are decent for the price, but honestly, it just didn’t work for me. Scent: 2/10, Longevity: 8/10, Sillage: 8/10, Value: 7/10, Versatility: 2/10, Packaging: 7/10. Would I buy it again? Not even close.

  4. Smells like a mix of Terre and Vetiver Tonka, similar to Cuir Vetiver, but this seems like a more generic version of Bal Afrique and Vetiver Tonka. I wouldn’t buy it, though for the price it’s okay and the longevity is decent.
