Sublime Nature Tonka Bean is a fragrance for women and men launched by Oriflame in 2017. Tonka bean is a popular perfume ingredient that is indispensable to the oriental family. Like vanilla and benzoin, tonka bean is used to add sweetness, depth, and warmth to a fragrance. Its sweet, intoxicating scent is reminiscent of vanilla with hints of almond, cinnamon, and clove. Tonka bean absolute contains 90% of coumarin, which is found in many plants, including tonka beans and vanilla, and in high concentration in Galium verum, Angelica, Chinese cassia, and Sweet grass. Coumarin has been banned from the food industry in many countries, but it is still used in perfumes, candles, and other scented products. Tonka beans are used in making desserts, for air freshening, and even as an insect repellent. Tonka beans work best in spicy and sweet scents featuring notes that are similar, including clove, vanilla, heliotrope, bitter almonds, and cinnamon. They also blend well with notes of patchouli, sandalwood, rose, lemon peel, and lavender. Tonka Bean Absolute is a thick, brown material with an intensely sweet, rich, warm aroma similar to beeswax or tobacco, and its a great ingredient for natural products.
