Review: Guerlain – Tonka Bean Imperial

This is a cologne that I’ve been wanting to try for a long time.  It’s very close to a pure tonka bean scent. I have a fascination with tonka bean that goes past whether it smells good or not in general (which it does) but just how unique and interesting it is. I was excited to see Gurlain made tonka bean the star of this.

There are a few other more subtle notes along with the tonka bean. I thought I smelled vanilla but didn’t see it listed. I did detect the tobacco. There is also bitter almond. These really are just there to back up the tonka bean though.

This could be good at the office or on a date not a great gym smell as it is not very sporty but aside from that I can’t think of a lot of times I wouldn’t wear this. You’re definitely going to stand out is having a very unique scent if you wear this.
