What people who wear French Avenue Cosmic Tonka report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community.
“Tested as a decant, have not tested the original. It's a rose and saffron opening that dries into a more vanilla scent. I smell the oud through the entirety of the fragrance. I generally dislike oud, but this one is fine. generally not my type of scent profile. I would not buy a full bottle, but still interesting to try. On skin lasted around 9-10 hours with a strong sillage.”
“Smells like hay bales in the backrooms, strangely sterile but offensive. First time I've smelt something that isn't just a bad fragrance but a good quality fragrance with a repulsing smell. My sister likes it though. Not the biggest fan of our it seems.”
“First impressions - I find this one to be more on the feminine side, tonka is nice and gently warm, a bit powdery, rosy notes kick in after 20 ish minutes, I don't feel like it has a crazy projection. A lot of warm spices are definitely present - as if you entered a bakery and opened small jars of nutmeg, vanilla, tonka, cinnamon, sandalwood but it doesn't feel too festive or Christmas style. Slightly soapy when it settles, it's an overall ok scent, good thing I got a decant cuz I probably wouldn't get a full sized bottle. A bit of a generic tonka scent.”
