About Tonka Bean Oil

Tonka Bean Oil is a rich, warm, and sweetly aromatic essential oil extracted from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree. Known for its naturally high coumarin content, this luxurious oil offers a creamy, powdery, vanilla-like aroma with soft almond, caramel, and tobacco undertones. It is widely used in gourmand, oriental, ambery, and fougère-style perfumes as a natural fixative and comforting base note.

Tonka Bean Oil deepens the sweetness and warmth of blends and works beautifully with ingredients like Ethyl Vanillin, Benzoin, Tolu Balsam, and Ambroxan to create cozy and long-lasting fragrances.
