Velvet Tonka by BDK Parfums is built on just three ideas, and each one is given room to breathe. Black rose opens the top, deep and a little dusty rather than sweet. African orange flower steps in for the heart, softer and more floral, before the base settles into amber and bourbon vanilla, warm and faintly powdery. Unisex by design, it suits anyone who likes a scent that feels rounded rather than sharp. Voters wear it right across the day, into the evening and on through the night, and they keep it mainly for autumn and winter. Longevity leans long-lasting in the vote, and sillage leans strong as well, easy to notice without much effort. A 10ml decant is enough to wear it daily through a season before deciding on more.

The community verdict
On autumn nights, Velvet Tonka brings black rose and orange flower into amber and bourbon vanilla; winter and evenings work too. Long-lasting wear and strong projection lead the reports, though moderate follows for both. It suits a warm, sweet floral mood.
