Tonka Hysteria – Extrait de Parfum

D'ORSAY is a Paris fragrance house named after the dandy Alfred d'Orsay. Tonka Hysteria as an Extrait de Parfum is love at first sight – in its warmest, powdery-amber form.

Tonka Hysteria smells of tonka bean and vanilla made creamy and powdery by iris butter and lily of the valley. Mandarin and pink pepper open with a bright sparkle, cinnamon and incense lend the start warmth and a trace of smoke, and in the base benzoin and vanilla carry the scent for hours on the skin.

Tonka Hysteria suits cool evenings, cashmere and any moment you want to be wrapped up. As an extrait it is denser and lasts longer than an eau de parfum – a scent that stays, long after you have left the room.

What makes Tonka Hysteria special to us is its restraint within all that sweetness: tonka and vanilla are not dessert here but a warm pelt of iris and resins. Gourmand for people who usually don't reach for gourmand.
