The fragrance is a very cuddly firework on the skin. Because it is very pleasing, flatters the nose and does not appear overly sweet. Just the beginning reminds of a Bourbon vanilla, which was slightly heated. Delicate fine aromas, sweetishly matt wood and wafer-thin rose petals. Little by little the woodiness decreases a little and the rose comes out a little more. For me as a rose hater but never in a way that would bother me. But the big fireworks will then take place in the Sillage. Admittedly, I used four sprayers in the first test, but with these sprayers I fogged a 100 square meter office up to the ceiling, so that the smoke detectors and sprinkler system thought about switching to active mode for a short time. Because in the surrounding area a turgid rose with vanilla aromas has spread, which caused a bit of gasping. I heard a bit of it myself, but not to this extreme degree. Because the durability is also extremely good, so the day with the fragrance is definitely yours. I'm sure many of us know this: receiving gifts is great. But giving someone a gift is just intoxicating. Especially when it comes to perfume. I don't know why, but most of the time I'm much more excited about gifting my partner a fragrance than buying one for myself. The only problem with this is that I often tend to buy a bottle straight away, rather than holding a sample under the gentleman's nose first. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Such is the case with Montale's Arabians Tonka, so beloved by many.

But one experience I could also make is that this perfume is definitely not for the office. It is really very strong and very penetrating, so I really recommend only two spritzes with this fragrance. I like to test new fragrances in the night shift, because I'm mostly alone and can not bother anyone with possible missteps. As I had a somewhat divided relationship with the brand during my previous experiences with it, I wanted to try the fragrances that sounded quite good to my ears and should contain notes that I otherwise find quite pleasant. These include Oud Dream, Bengal Oud and this Arabian Tonka. Especially the latter one seemed to be in great demand, because my share was filled up incredibly fast.I would be very happy to receive an invitation to an interview where they can see my qualities for themselves. What surprised me very much, everyone who met me in my night service said I smell very good! And I was ashamed all the time because I thought " they are kidding me ". Yes what can I say, with said 3 sprays you are most certainly perceived 6 hours. The first 3-4 hours even at more than an arm's length distance. What impressed me particularly is that even I perceive this fragrance after 6 hours again and again. The scent is a true powerhorse. (Damn, again) First of all, I can say that the fragrance does not sniff the four-legged friend that is depicted on the bottle. Otherwise you probably would have thought you had a zoologist under your nose. The flacon itself is the normal Montale standard. I find these aluminium bottles quite decorative, but they are also wonderfully suitable for sharing, because you can simply screw them on. However, the quality is generally quite low. What can you expect if you expect at least a halfway high quality fragrance for the price? Arabians Tonka is for me the most beautiful Montaleduft so far. Loud, sweet, vulgar and simply delicious. Who likes sweet fragrances, which will come here most certainly at his expense. And he may also buy blind. It has successfully applied to me. It won my heart at a gallop. (okay, I give it up) :-)

I looked forward to sampling Montale Arabians Tonka given how much I love the 2017 release Arabians, of which Arabians Tonka is nominally a flanker. However, Arabians Tonka smells more like Intense Café than it does the original Arabians, with a sugary vanilla pervasively covering a rose/oud blend that does, at least, seem to include tonka. I knew that at some point the time would come, at some point the point would come when I would be told that my passion for perfume would create difficulties in my open-plan office. Although my colleagues are very steadfast and are used to a lot, this time I overdid it a bit. But the fact that it happens with this Montale Arabians Tonka surprises me a lot. Even my ombre nomad from Louis Vuitton has already provided for escape reflexes with a sprayer, but this Montale surprises me a little bit. The fragrance lasts and lasts and lasts. Three sprays bring one quite easily through the day. Even the next morning on the skin!!! still perceptible. Even for a Montale the durability is above average.

Yes this (or something like it) is probably what my application would look like if I were a fragrance. Fragrance Bombs." I mean that positively, because durability and sillage are already very important to me. The job of an escort has long appealed to me. Just working with people and the versatility that comes with this job made me send my application to them.

I am totally intrigued, is this the Arabians Tonka ??? WOW, I am overwhelmed by this beautiful fragrance !!! It's very easy to enjoy and I quite like it, so I wouldn't say it's a miss, but considering the number of releases put out by the Montale/Mancera empire each year, it's unsurprising that some like Arabians Tonka will be a bit redundant with prior releases. I'm more preoccupied with the name since Arabians Tonka does not feel connected to the original Arabians. Still, I'm happy to have tried it. Not every Montale/Mancera release will be particularly inventive, to put it modestly.It has then nevertheless lasted over a month until I dared to spray him again! This time at home and only a spray on the arm. And I must say the scent has flashed me again. This time in the positive sense. Due to the careful dosage I was able to enjoy the scent now. This beautiful saffron with the not too intense bergamot, so beautiful. In the heart note a rose to kneel down ( actually I don't like rose so much in perfume), finely interwoven with oud and leather. This way the scent lingers for a very long time. In the drydown, the rose is coated with sugar and tonka bean and musk join in. This gives the scent a subtle spice. So nice the scent stays for a very, very long time. Perceptible on my skin for more than 24 hours, on clothes for days. This fragrance is for me a masterpiece, you just must not overdo it !
