Of Brazilian origin, tonka bean has a dusty almond aroma profile with nuances of vanilla and hay, bringing a comfortable gourmand touch to fragrances. In this interpretation, Tonka explores the material’s amber and creamy side, which combined with coconut and woody notes, results in a cozy, skin-snuggling scent. This eau de toilette has 90% natural ingredients and is part of the Granado Layering Collection. These perfumes can be worn as base notes, either used alone or combined with other fragrances.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Tonka suits the quiet intimacy of an evening spent close together, where its almond-like softness and creamy coconut feel more inviting than showy. Warm woods keep the sweetness grounded, giving the wearer a relaxed, tactile presence.
How to wear
Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, especially in mild or cool weather, when its creamy amber character feels most comfortable. In heat, apply lightly to keep the gourmand sweetness restrained. Wear it alone or use a light application beneath a floral fragrance to add warmth.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to almond-like sweetness, creamy coconut and soft amber woods rather than bright freshness or sugary gourmand excess. It also suits fragrance enthusiasts who enjoy building a personal scent through layering.

Granado’s story
Founded as a pharmacy in Rio de Janeiro in 1870, Granado connects its botanical heritage with Brazilian nature and carioca creativity. Its perfumery treats scent as part of everyday life, with ingredient-led compositions that invite personal expression through layering.
Tonka’s concept
Tonka launched alongside Vetiver, Cedro, Sândalo and Âmbar in a collection that brought traditional base-note materials into the foreground. Its concept explores the creamy, ambery side of Brazilian tonka bean, softened by coconut and woods. The Vintage collection references Granado’s historic Perfumaria Hélios line, rather than reproducing an antique Tonka formula.
Extra info
Tonka takes its name from the Brazilian bean also known as cumaru. Granado describes the eau de toilette as containing 90% ingredients of natural origin and labels it vegan. It was designed to work both as a standalone fragrance and as a base for layering.
