I really love this scent! It does contain vanilla and perhaps tonka too, but the MAIN thing it contains is FRANKINCENSE! I havent read all the previous reviews and although I didnt see it, that...

The citrusy opening is a bit startling - not so much the fact that it's present as that it evokes the bitter pith of a lime, rather than the pleasantly tart juice or zest. This stage passes quickly...

Although not all, most of Patricia de Nicolai's fragrances have imaginative, evocative names so she's clearly not obsessed with going the straightforward Jalaine route w/ names like Green Tea,...

I am proud to say that I ordered this unsniffed. And everything turned out well. In the bottle, and when first applied, Vanille Tonka is just a tiny bit masculine, in an Old Spice sort of way. ...

I've been looking for a vanilla scent to love for ages. Although this isn't quite what I was looking for, I do love it. Vanille Tonka is a subtle vanilla that provides some spice, sweetness, and...

I received a sample of Vanille Tonka by Parfums de Nicolai from a lovely MUA'er a few months ago, and it has become one of my favorite scents. As other reviewers have mentioned, Vanille Tonka has...

All root beer, all the time. I cannot escape the root beer note. I wanted to like this too because I really like this line overall. Those that like this one are passionate about it. I think...

I have tried to love this one through several decants but I just don't. It's perfumey and masculine when applied and although it does dry down soft and incensey I cannot bear to wait that long. ...

At first, this is far too smoky and masculine for me, but it eventually dries down into a slightly sweet, soft, powdery (not baby or talcum powdery though) cinnamon fragrance. It is slightly...

Like Melikey, I went for this because of the cinnomon note. Well, what can I say? It's ok but too softy/powdery for me. It's really difficult to describe tonka bean notes. It's not foody vanilla...

Against all expectations, since I´m not a vanilla fan, I love this. It´s not a foody kind of fragance, more of a smoky, spicy, woody one with a touch of vanilla. Very sophisticated and mysterious....

Vanille Tonka sounded just right for me, since I love vanilla and tonka in my perfumes. This just didn't measure up at all to my high expectations. This is a unique scent, but a bit too spicy and...

This is lovely, and when I got my sample a few weeks ago I was sure I'd be buying the full bottle, but lately when I wear it I just keep thinking of root beer. Maybe cream soda. With its sparkling...
