Aldehydes with a milky, wheaty perfume seem to curdle unless properly handled. I have to agree with Roge here this comes across floral in the opening and not at all what I was expecting. The base is creamy but not really almond like in my opinion, there's sandalwood and a hint of tonka that's it for me. Not very balanced for me but not unpleasant and another thing Roge points out this fragrance is supposed to be aimed at women so my comments are pretty redundant. Put it this way I wouldn't wear it! Some positives are that Tonkamande dries down nicely and does reveal a yummy creaminess of vanilla but it's too little too late. It projects well for the first hour or so but the longevity was poor on my skin.
