Tonka Bean

Tonka Bean is one of the finest perfume ingredients for fixation of natural perfumes. The absolute is obtained from Dipteryx odorata, a large tropical tree native to Brazil, Guyana, and Venezuela, also cultivated in Nigeria and elsewhere in West Africa.

Tonka Bean is used as a non-floral sweetener for introducing warm notes in chypres, fougères, new mown hay bases, Oriental bases, Lavender bouquets, etc. 

NOTE: Tonka Bean is not recommended for therapeutic purposes; it is intended for use in perfumery only.
