If you’ve been rationing the remaining few sprays of your original bottle, your patience has officially paid off. Commodity Tonka—one of the most sought-after scents in the brand’s history—is returned from the archives as part of the new Commodity Editions range.
Originally debuted in 2017 and developed by master perfumer Guillaume Flavigny, Tonka acquired a cult following for its rich, skin-scent warmth before being hidden away in the vault. Now, it makes its triumphant return for a limited time.
The Scent Profile: What Does It Smell Like?
Tonka clearly belongs to the gourmand family, although it avoids being too sweet or overpowering. Instead, it balances cozy resinous elements with a soft, airy elegance.
Here is how the scent develops:
- First: Almond Oil & Cardamom
- Then: Sandalwood & Magnolia
- Finally: Tonka Bean & Benzoin
Commodity Tonka is a soft, powdery gourmand built around a classic perfumery favorite: Tonka Bean. Its natural undertones are further drawn out with nutty, powdery Almond Oil and sweet, vanilla-like Benzoin for an enveloping, indulgent finish.

How to Style & Layer Tonka
Because of its resinous benzoin base and nutty top notes, Tonka is exceptionally versatile:
- For Extra Warmth: Layer it under a deep amber or cedarwood scent to amp up the cozy, woodsy vibes.
- For a Fresh Twist: Pair it with a crisp floral or citrus note to lift the heavy creaminess of the almond and tonka bean.
