Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
If you have been searching for the holy grail of tonka, you have found it. Intensely edible, warm, spicy and sweet, this absolute is the profound expression of the full aroma of the beans. In this incredibly complex scent is the gourmand odour of delicious French patisserie, the vanilla sweetness of puddings, and a warm fond of subtle spices centred around a delicate cinnamon note. We offer this incredible product 10% dilution in pure and natural Triethyl Citrate [https://fraterworks.com/products/triethyl-citrate-natural] (an odourless isolate from citrus) or pure. In pure form tonka bean is a solid paste. In describing tonka absolute, Arctander says: ‘Tonka absolute is a semi solid or crystalline mass of pale amber or pale brownish-yellow color Its odor is very rich, sweet and warm, distinctly coumarinic / herbaceous, with a prune-like, or caramelic-sweet undertone. The odor description “tobacco-like” is somewhat confusing since Tonka tincture has been used quite extensively in the flavoring of cured tobacco leaves. The absolute consists of 20-45% coumarin, but the effect of a true Tonka absolute goes far beyond that of the coumarin contained in the absolute. Tonka is a fixative and non-floral sweetener which introduces warm notes in chypres, fougères, new mown hay bases, lavender bouquets, Oriental bases, etc. It blends well with: Lavender [https://fraterworks.com/products/lavender-avice-hill], lavandin [https://fraterworks.com/products/lavandin-grosso], clary sage [https://fraterworks.com/products/clary-sage-france], bergamot [https://fraterworks.com/products/bergamot-oil-fcf], oakmoss [https://fraterworks.com/products/oakmoss-green-yugoslavia].’ Note: due to scarcity of supply, the price of tonka bean absolute has increased significantly in 2026. absolute Best Seller heat locale:pot for pure only. 10% needs no heat. paste Regs_done
