Do you want to know more about this perfume?
It opens with roasted, lightly salted pistachio, which sets the character from the very first second. The heart is tonka bean with orange blossom, creamy and dessert-like. The base darkens with vanilla, tobacco, and saffiano leather, adding a dry verticality that pulls it away from the merely sweet. It is denser and more carnal than the eau de parfum version.
Velvet Tonka Extrait is an extrait de parfum by BDK Parfums signed by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, and it belongs to the Collection Matières, which reinvents a raw material in each perfume. Carlin says she created the original Velvet Tonka in 2021 as a gourmand, airy note, and that this extrait is its hyperbole: the same idea taken further.
It needs only a small amount: as an extrait and with that dose of pistachio, two sprays are enough. It shines in the afternoon and in cool weather. We have the original Velvet Tonka in our catalog, and comparing them is the quickest way to see what the extrait adds. In the same house, Vanille Caviar goes for vanilla in its purest form and Vanille Leather crosses it with leather, which is the other axis of this one.
What does Velvet Tonka Extrait smell like?
Velvet Tonka Extrait opens with a roasted, salty pistachio accord, moves through a heart of tonka bean and orange blossom, and finishes with vanilla, tobacco and saffiano leather. It is sweet and dense, with a dry base that gives it tension.
How is Velvet Tonka Extrait different from the original Velvet Tonka?
Alexandra Carlin describes Velvet Tonka Extrait as the hyperbole of eau de parfum: more carnal and more textured. The original is gourmand and airy; the extrait adds roasted pistachio, tobacco and saffiano leather. We have both from BDK Parfums.
Who created Velvet Tonka Extrait?

Is Velvet Tonka Extrait a very sweet perfume?
Velvet Tonka Extrait is sweet, but not cloying: the pistachio comes with a salty edge and the tobacco and saffiano leather in the base give it a dryness that cuts through the sugar. The house describes it as neo-gourmand.
