Tonquitone 0613

About this material

Tonquitone opens with a rich, sweet, and slightly woody aroma that evokes the scent of tonka beans, featuring a warm, creamy vanilla-like quality. As it develops, the scent reveals a subtle hint of almond and a soft, balsamic undertone that adds depth and complexity. In a formula, it acts as a rounding agent, softening sharper notes and providing a smooth, comforting base. It pairs well with floral notes, especially jasmine and orange blossom, as well as with gourmand elements like caramel or chocolate. The typical dose in formulations ranges from 0.010% to 0.19%, with a common usage around 0.045%.
