Tonka Sarrapia is huge, an unforgiving beast penetrating with overpowering sweetness the nostrils of anybody nearby. Sarrapia is a tree which produces tonka beans, and unlike Vanille Planifolia, this Extrait 75 really celebrates the beauty of its star note in all it wonderful facets. As for the scent, imagine Feve Delicieuse minus the cherry, chocolate and caramel - the tonka used here is virtually identical to my nose. It’s obviously outrageously sweet, enough to almost give you toothache, but has this gorgeously dry and nutty bitter almond note which pairs beautifully with the tonka. I must admit I love this. Not enough to justify the absurd price tag but if I managed to find it for half the RRP I would definitely pick it up. Tonka is a magical note and it is done to perfection here, the projection is enormous too!
I don't get any spices or cocoa apart from a fleeting Coca-Cola accord, it's simply the most pure essence of Guerlain, the base in all their perfumes, in its platonic ideal form. Too sweet for me to consider wearing regularly, but divine all the same.
Best tonka. Period!
