What surprised me very much, everyone who met me in my night service said I smell very good! And I was ashamed all the time because I thought " they are kidding me ". The Arabians Tonka I had for a long time on the list and for a few months he finally won the job posting and was now allowed to enjoy, as one of many, the trial run in the winter. And what can I say - the trial period is over - and he is definitely hired indefinitely. :-)

Yes this (or something like it) is probably what my application would look like if I were a fragrance. The fragrance actually starts rather fresh spicy. I find the bergamot in the opening is only briefly but very nice. Shortly thereafter, I smell actually only sweet. The Tonka comes through super strong and actually also quite nice. Probably the combo of amber cane sugar and tonka. And then I don't know what scent or combo it is. I have a hunch that it's the Nepalese oud? I have no idea though, because so far I've only known oud from the Delina exclusive and I think it's super nice there. In the drydown the sweetness softens even more, the musk definitely does a good job here. Still, that note continues to linger and does so for hours. And yes, Arabians Tonka is a beast. The longevity is really insane and the sillage is fierce too. I think two small sprays are enough for the complete day.

Key Notes of Arabians Tonka

As I had a somewhat divided relationship with the brand during my previous experiences with it, I wanted to try the fragrances that sounded quite good to my ears and should contain notes that I otherwise find quite pleasant. These include Oud Dream, Bengal Oud and this Arabian Tonka. Especially the latter one seemed to be in great demand, because my share was filled up incredibly fast. The job of an escort has long appealed to me. Just working with people and the versatility that comes with this job made me send my application to them. I knew that at some point the time would come, at some point the point would come when I would be told that my passion for perfume would create difficulties in my open-plan office. Although my colleagues are very steadfast and are used to a lot, this time I overdid it a bit. But the fact that it happens with this Montale Arabians Tonka surprises me a lot. Even my ombre nomad from Louis Vuitton has already provided for escape reflexes with a sprayer, but this Montale surprises me a little bit.

In the job description, they made it clear that they were looking for a sweet, independent companion. I can totally identify with those qualities as well. Dugo smo razmišljali šta je vuče na ljubičice i onda su naišle priče među pušačkim narodom da u nekim cigaretama ima mlevenog korena ljubičice koji izaziva zavisnot ka kupovini samo tog pakovanja cigareta. A moja baba je pušila kao kočijaši ispred stare Železničke stanice ili ispred Kalenić pijace u jesenje vreme kada treba da se ženama prevozi 100-200kg kupusa za kiŠeljenje. I am totally intrigued, is this the Arabians Tonka ??? WOW, I am overwhelmed by this beautiful fragrance !!!I would be very happy to receive an invitation to an interview where they can see my qualities for themselves. I like to test new fragrances in the night shift, because I'm mostly alone and can not bother anyone with possible missteps. I kada smo to povezali, onda smo i mi propušili, ali smo joj zabranili to mirisno ulje, osim kada je tajno išla u crkvu, jer u to komunističko vreme se nije smelo baš mnogo ni javno. Montale Arabians Tonka mi se toliko dopada i toliko je muški i trajan da sam ga usvojio za svoj Signature... Da, imam ga već 2 meseca ali sam stvarno hteo da više puta ponovljenim korišćenjem stvarno utvrdim da li zaslužuje tako visoku poziciju među mojim parfemima. Znam da vas ima koji su brojniji, ali polako, neće banka više da mi daje kredite za kupovinu novih dok ne otplatim prethodni, a to je kod svih (zelenaško-lihvarskih) banaka 3 godine uz "minimalnu kamatu da ne osetiš da ti deremo kožu s leđa", da im ga priheftam sestre uz striptiz šipku. I što je najčudnije, u opisu piše da ima Bugarsku, a ne Provansalsku ružu, a ja ne volim Bugarsku zbog otužnosti.

But one experience I could also make is that this perfume is definitely not for the office. It is really very strong and very penetrating, so I really recommend only two spritzes with this fragrance.

Customer reviews

I'm sure many of us know this: receiving gifts is great. But giving someone a gift is just intoxicating. Especially when it comes to perfume. I don't know why, but most of the time I'm much more excited about gifting my partner a fragrance than buying one for myself. The only problem with this is that I often tend to buy a bottle straight away, rather than holding a sample under the gentleman's nose first. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. Such is the case with Montale's Arabians Tonka, so beloved by many. Trotzallem I can really only recommend this fragrance, so far I have only come across the Arabians Tonka and Pure Love. Arabians Tonka is for me the most beautiful Montaleduft so far. Loud, sweet, vulgar and simply delicious. Who likes sweet fragrances, which will come here most certainly at his expense. And he may also buy blind. It has successfully applied to me. It won my heart at a gallop. (okay, I give it up) :-)
