Agree with Wyrmiax below. I originally thought vetiver tonka would be perfect for DH, but it didn't seem to make any impression on him. (Neither did Eau d'Hiver which is NOT a vetiver or at all...

'With its caramel, praline and blonde tobacco notes, tonka bean draped vetiver in softness and gave its woody notes a mellow roundness," says Jean-Claude Ellena on the Hermes website. Given his...

Trying in a sample pass ,Vetiver Tonka is a lovely fresh unisex scent. On my skin it smells like it should be from another House.Specifically :Prada. Vetiver Tonka smells as if it were a mix of...

Another Jean Claude Ellena triumph! Vetiver Tonka is one of my favorites this season. Nutty, warm, sweet, and almost edible without ever crossing the line over to food-y scents. A man or a woman...

A wonderful scent, but hard to describe. My husband, who also loves it, said, "It smells like a little bit of everything, but not too much of anything." There is vetiver, there's a nutty quality,...

This review is based on a small decant of Vetiver Tonka. I've been slowly working my way through the Hermessences, and I haven't found one that I don't like yet. <br><br> Vetiver Tonka is a...

Very nice. Vetiver Tonka is a complex blend of sweet and dry notes. I smell green grass and sweet neroli over a light vetiver base. Truly unisex - I really like the sweet grassy notes but my DH...

A definitely full bottle worth. When my husband uses it I cant stop sniffing. And it is rather good on me too. Mostly smell vetiver, nuts and dark chocolate.

Vetiver Tonka is a deliciously gourmand Vetiver scent, very different from the classic, clean and rather masculine vetiver colognes that we are used to know. Official notes: vetiver, neroli,...

Wow, I get none of those cool notes. I don't even get tonka, to be honest. All I get is vetiver, which is fine enough as it is, smooth and woody, but it leans to the masculine on me and I get...

Vetiver Tonka, my most favourite so far, is simple and interesting at once. It is one of the best Vetiver scents I tried, equally revealing the sweetness and freshness of this magnificent root. The...

Just beautiful. Fortunately I don't get much sweet or sugar here. VT's sister AN is sweeter on me (honey). This wonderful surprise is a slightly spiced, smokey and *almost* masculine scent with...

I hate to say it, but something smelled off to me when I tried this, both times, and after reading the reviews, I get it! It does smell a little like marijuana!

This is a wonderful vetiver, unusual to start with - that's probably the tonka bean, that lends a touch of hazelnut sweetness. This dissipates rather quickly though (about an hour on me) and leaves...
