... a strange, idiosyncratic scent: dark tobacco combines with cold ash and charcoal... a tart, dry-pungent smoke drifts through the air... olive makes the whole thing extremely unusual and salty, followed by a bitter vanilla that concludes this melancholic experience...

...immediately after spraying, the fragrance reveals itself as rich and intense, carried by a hint of rum and dried apricots... then the dark, viscous woody note takes over... it gives the perfume a relatively masculine, deep, and bitter power... the oud, however, remains surprisingly tame, accessible, and never loses its noble restraint... later, a fine vanilla ensures a harmonious finish... the longevity is extremely dense and long-lasting 🤎 Important: Be sure to test it on the skin! On paper, the true complexity of the fragrance does not come through at all.

Overall, this perfume feels very high-quality... I am especially enchanted by the sweet peach juice, which merges harmoniously with an earthy citrus accord... a hint of chypre introduces a green, herbal, and subtle bitterness... while oakmoss in the background provides depth, a powdery texture gives the fragrance elegance... Only the prominent birch tar bothers me in this otherwise well-rounded fragrance experience 💚

... the fragrance unmistakably carries the familiar DNA of Tonka Sesame... in this creation, however, the dense base merges with an enchanting fig blend, sweet, creamy hazelnuts, and pistachio... it moves in a velvety and green direction: These botanical notes break through the rich gourmand note and give the fragrance an elegant freshness 💚

... one waits in vain for the fragrance to develop, as it seems very monotonous from the start... the whole thing remains nice, but boring, like a vanilla fragrance spray without any noticeable depth or change...

... a wonderful musk scent settles on the skin like a powdery, white veil... the composition enchants with fruity-floral notes and vanilla-soaked spices... it takes a gentle course, sits pleasantly close to the skin and is yet surprisingly long-lasting...

... a hint of dried leaves opens this opulent composition... in the heart, buttery amber merges harmoniously with warm vanilla... resinous, woody, and balsamic notes give the fragrance captivating depth and a mysterious aura...

... a promising, elegant-floral iris scent is unfortunately immediately overwhelmed by a dominant synthetic here: instead of creamy powderiness, a scratchy, dusty woody texture and harsh tobacco unfold on the skin... this inharmonious, artificial amber note completely suffocates the noble flower... The result is a heavy, stifling veil of fragrance with a taxing dryness...

...for me, this fragrance is unfortunately an absolute disappointment... instead of the expected chocolate, I smell an extremely unpleasant note that immediately reminds me of a farm... Terrible... this is joined by a medicinal note that strongly resembles cough syrup... While it was exciting to get to know this scent, it didn't move me at all...

... a heavy, spicy-sweet fragrance of melancholic darkness... although it is not supposed to contain any oud, I can smell it clearly... together with resins and saffron, it feels very oppressive... absolutely not my taste...

... I find this fragrance extremely unpleasant: the tart, extremely leathery opening is immediately off-putting... the combination of black licorice, bitter coffee and saffron leaves an oppressive feeling that even the alcoholic notes cannot soften... a pungent smell that triggers pure discomfort in me...

... for me personally, this fragrance is a great disappointment: I find the vanilla here to be ordinary and one-dimensional... instead of developing beautifully on my skin, I only perceive an extreme, almost pungent sweetness... the impression remains artificial, loud, and without a spark of elegance.... even though I had hoped for much more... Too bad...

... a pure fig fragrance, in which I also perceive a distinct note of tea and tobacco, simply does not suit my taste at all in the end...

... the fragrance pyramid sounded like a gourmand, boozy dream, but reality was different: the alcoholic opening vanished in seconds... what remained was an extremely dark, heavy DNA: medicinal saffron and a pungent licorice note that I found almost repulsive... instead of the expected sweetness, the fragrance became bitter, woody, and scratchy on my skin (this didn't match the colorful bottle at all)... I would have loooooved to like it...

... I love vanilla, but this fragrance is simply terrible: The composition is extremely dense, heavy and overwhelming... instead of the expected, beautiful vanilla-cocoa aroma, it smells pungent like glass cleaner when sprayed... afterwards it reminds me of rancid body cream mixed with shea butter... pure headache potential...

... after a nice, fresh-fruity start, it unfortunately develops unpleasantly: instead of the hoped-for peach, bitter herbal notes and a synthetic fruit sweetness soon dominate... the fragrance components do not harmonize, but rather clash on the skin... a very loud, intrusive, and chemical-smelling scent that literally overwhelms me.. Overall, the whole thing is much too unrefined and exhausting for me...

... a magnificent fireworks display of natural, juicy citrus fruits, followed by a wonderfully light, refreshing peach sorbet note... it is wonderfully sparkling, carefree and elegant... The perfect refreshment for hot days 🧡

... this fragrance enchants with creamy vanilla ice cream, sweet caramel, roasted hazelnuts, and a splash of rum... despite these deep, gourmand notes, it remains unobtrusive and never sticky... orange peel and powdery heliotrope give it the lightness of cotton candy... An irresistible indulgence that attracts everyone's attention 🤍

... is an absolutely successful, elegant fragrance for the evening or the cold season... it presents itself as the significantly heavier, smokier, and more velvety version compared to the bright Tonka Sesame... although both fragrances are very similar in the base due to the sweet-nutty Tonka DNA, Extraordinaire loses some of the pure nuttiness and instead gains massive, profound depth 🖤

... in itself the perfume is not poorly made, but for my taste it is simply much too heavy... the damp tobacco note is extremely dominant and pushes itself strongly to the foreground... this creates a sultry, oppressive intensity that, in this combination, is unfortunately too much for me... You really have to like this very specific type of fragrance...
