Tonka Kumaru

AMBER, MUSKY, GOURMAND

Tonka Kumaru is a gourmand, sensual creation that reveals the tonka bean in all its depth. Every facet is carefully shaped, revealed, and amplified to express its singularity. 

The fragrance unfolds with almondy notes of tonka lifted by the freshness of bergamot and the spiciness of cardamom.

In the heart, roasted barley and hay absolute enhance tonka’s dry, warm nuances, while cedar leaf brings structure, depth, and texture to the composition.

In the base, the roasted tonka bean fully unfolds. Elevated by raw Madagascan vanilla, its gourmand and milky facets shine through. Paired with amber and musks, it gains intensity, sensuality, and a lingering, enveloping warmth.

Tonka Kumaru is a modern tribute to an exceptional raw material, where each note is crafted to reveal and amplify the tonka bean’s full richness and complexity.

The Founder's Vision

“I’m delighted to introduce Tonka Kumaru, the latest creation from Atelier Materi.

With Tonka Kumaru, I wanted to reveal the raw beauty of the tonka bean, highlighting its almond notes, gourmand and comforting, which instantly bring me back to the Cléopâtre glue of childhood, that iconic little pot known to generations of French schoolchildren, and its mischievous temptation to taste it. 

A true olfactory madeleine, reimagined as a contemporary object of desire."

THE PERFUMER’S WORD

“For this new fragrance, Véronique wanted to explore one of perfumery’s most iconic raw materials: tonka bean. Staying true to the spirit of Atelier Materi, the challenge was to reveal all its richness and character, while infusing it with a distinctive twist, one capable of telling a new and singular story.

Balancing the enveloping warmth of tonka with a childhood memory tinged with nostalgia, the intention was to create a scent that feels deeply soothing, warm, and intense. It was then that Véronique shared this memory with me: the scent of Cléopâtre glue. This soft, almond-like, irresistibly addictive note became the guiding thread of my creative process, ultimately giving birth to TONKA KUMARU."
