Purchased this approximately 1,5 years ago. I was pleasantly suprised. TF TV is in my collection and I love that one. This reminds me of TV. It’s softer though, more easy to wear. To me it’s reminiscent of Christmas. I love it and would therefore recommend to anyone who loves sweet, warm and cosy scents.

This was a blind buy, based on note list and reviews.
At first sniff, I just hated it. oh, I was SO disappointed, too much honey for my tastes, just too much. BUT…after about 20 minutes I smelled my wrist again and, OMG, It’s turned out into a sweet, delicious, cozy scent, and now I’m so happy It’s in my collection! Can’t wait to pour it all over my body when the weather gets cooler
bmz006Negeltzex – :
A beautiful fragrance. I mostly get honey, tonka, almond and vanilla, in that order. The other notes are also detectable, but in the background. This is sweet, but also balsamic and spicy, it’s not sugary sweet. It reminds me of Tobacco Vanille, but this is not as heavy as TV. A lovely, comfortable scent, with an average sillage and an amazing longevity. This was a sample, but I’ll buy a full bottle for sure!
ара – :
here’s a review from a man.
im not a big fan of this opening, smells like dirty vanilla mixed with a little bit ashes with strong mint maybe come from bitter almond, although it’s lean to masculine at the opening. and that opening last almost 2hrs on my skin.
in the middle phase, the creamy nuances start to takeover the dirty powdery sweetness, it become smoother, and likely more feminime than the opening.
i think this best used for nighttime hangout as the performance is pretty good on my skin.
Scent: 7.5
Longetivity: 8.5 (7-8hrs)
Projection: 8.5 (3hrs)
Sillage: 7

This is the second Reminiscence scent I have, the first being Vanille. This is spicy sweet vanilla and almond, drizzled with honey and touched with leather. It’s like the oh-so-cool big sister of Vanille – leather jacket wearing, groovy piercings, funky coloured hair (the one who will sneak her underage brother/sister a sneaky alcoholic drink at a party). The one who waits until her parents are have gone out, then races out and zooms off on the back of her (secret) boyfriend’s motorcycle. It’s still got that innocent sweetness from the vanilla, but the anise and clove give it a feisty, grown-up edge. I think this would work ok on the blokes as well. It’s a love.
nikk85 – :
I was expecting something sweeter and simpler with this one. I was wrong. It opens up strong and dirty – a true masculine feel, but as it dries down it opens up to reveal luxurious layers of sweetness, spices and a hint of floral. I don’t get tobacco at all so I truly don’t understand the comparison to TF TV. It shares the same full and rounded vanilla note, but that’s about it. It’s shamelessly sexy, sticks around for hours and projects beautifully. I love the scent it leaves on my clothes for days.
I am a vanilla and tonka lover. I especially love when they are paired together as wonderfully as they are here. The perfect mix of sweet, spicy and earthy – perfectly unisex, and won’t cost you a kidney. A happy blind buy for me.
kolcov1977 – :
Beautifully warm, rich honey and tonka with tobacco nuances akin to a TF Tobacco Vanille sans the dried fruits. While I wasn’t keen on TV I LOVE Réminiscence Tonka. Sillage is huge, longevity lasts well over 12 hours! This scent is only to be worn on a chilly Indian summer or autumnal days as the sweet warmth is overbearing in summer heat. 1 single spray to my neck has lasted from 10am this morning to my getting home from work at nearly 9pm!
artimiAssomma – :
I blind bought this after reading reviews that it was very much like Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanille. Got it on sale at 44% off, so I picked up 100ml for under £40. Happy days.
Had my first experience with it yesterday afternoon after it arrived. There was an note to it that I wasn’t sure about, but I was busy so I got on with my day. It’s a scent I immediately liked, so that boded well.
I sprayed again in the evening so I could pay a bit more attention to it, and the note became clear – it’s the bitter almond! That is what is making people think of it as being like Tobacco Vanille, even though Tonka has no tobacco in it. It’s the combination of the almond, jasmine and coumarin that’s making a scent that is almost like tobacco. Very clever!
However, this isn’t very like TV to my thinking and won’t be a replacement for it. It’s definitely got a cakey thing going on. Bakewell, obvs. I also smell a clean soap, honey and a little anise and clove, but that’s not overpowering. I don’t get the musk, which is fine, since I’m not a big fan. I do get the vanilla, which blends really nicely here. I also get the cistus (labdanum?), a bit stronger than I prefer, but it softens with dry down. On me, almond is Queen in this fragrance and stops it from being sickly sweet.
For TV substitute, I might have better luck with the L’Occitane Eau des Baux, which is my next fragrance purchase. Failing that, I’ll save up to add TV to my collection, since I find the scent so richly comforting.
On me, Tonka’s sillage is moderate and longevity poor. But on second wearing I found that I am into it for it’s nasty almond note that draws me back to sniff myself again and again. This isn’t something I’d have thought I’d enjoy, so it’s a bit of a surprise to find that I’m digging it so much. I imagine it’ll be a bottle I’ll reach for regularly. Maybe even backup worthy.
This is definitely a unique fragrance and not something I think you could get a substitute for. I’ll be wearing this for a while to build a “relationship” with it.
rob909elipseskism – :
It’s strong! I like it. The opening is pretty masculine but it becomes more feminine as it dries down. This could be a unisex scent. The sweet honey, almond, vanilla and tonka bean notes linger beautiful together. The anise and clove notes add some spice. The musk is subtile and the white florals create more dimention. It’s slightly overwelming but I don’t mind. This scent would be wonderful during the cold months!
HELGA – :
Gave this a proper wearing last night… This is absolutely stunning! I haven’t smelled TV, so can’t comment on any supposed similarities, but enough people have, so my two penn’orth isn’t required.
Tonka is very smooth and beautifully blended; I scored a 50ml bottle on eBay for just under £40 and I would be thrilled with it at twice the price, as it smells far more expensive. A lightly spiced, slightly sweet (but not cloying) Oriental, I feel it tiptoes into gourmand territory. I don’t get a heavy clove or anise hit from this at all. It is summer (late July) here, but I am in Cornwall and it was cool and very damp last night.
Many people have recommended Tonka as best worn in fall/winter, but I don’t think it feels too heavy to wear in summer; to be fair, I should mention that I have a fondness for heady orientals, so may not be the best judge of seasonal appropriateness!
Sillage is moderate – my husband (who is very sensitive to – and not fond of – “perfumey” smells) couldn’t smell this on me until I was within arm-length, so I doubt this would offend anyone.
The longevity is impressive; I can still clearly smell this on my dry, perfume-eating and (on this occasion) un-moisturised skin, having spritzed a good seven hours ago; I did use about six sprays though, once I’d assessed its strength. However, this is “only” an EDT, so longevity is better than some far more expensive EDPs.
Very highly recommended – I am thrilled with this blind buy.
NB. For what it’s worth, I think this fragrance is “unisex” (I should qualify and state that I don’t ascribe to gender assignation in perfume – wear whatever makes you happy).
calstanny – :
yesterday I went to Sephora. the girl assisting me (unwanted/not needed) had no clue about basic fragrance notes and basic families and perfumes scents in general. by the way I was curious to check this Tonka and as soon as she sprayed I said: ‘OMG a dupe of Tobacco Vanilla by Tom Ford!!!’ She was clueless (TF who?) I was so shocked!I got it immediately for an insignificant price.this perfume as many said is TV without the annoying reason I was not buying it (too much tobacco, some cloves, something that stopped me to buy that perfume for that price). so i am absolutely satisfied by this fragrance!!!!
kazak007 – :
Yeah remind me TF tobacco vanille.
Smell: 9/10
Longevity: 10/10 (over 12 hours on my skin)
Projection: 7/10
Not feminine at all
PresseNemnnup – :
Buono!dolce ma non soffocante.
Il miele regna sovrano accompagnato bene con tutte le altre note senza esagerazioni.
Apre unisex con vaghi ricordi alla TOM FORD senza il tabacco e si evolve alla KILLIAN senza la nota di camomilla.
Piu giovane e serena.
Un miele orchestrato molto bene.
quindi…
DONNE… attenzione agli orsi!
weo817elipseskism – :
I am wearing the sh*t out of this today, and it’s AWESOME!!!! Again, I think I prefer this to Tobacco Vanille… it’s got more notes, less masculine, sweeter, fuller. The TF quality isn’t there of course….
This has all my fave notes: anise, honey, vanilla, almond, tonka…. but yes… it’s pretty similar to TV. It doesn’t say “tobacco” as a note, but there is no mistaking the similarities to TV. IN A GOOD WAY! <3
Wayslesythita – :
I blind bought this from reviews and comparisons to Tobacco Vanille (which I love). I love sweet scents, gourmands, spicy vanillas, etc… and I love the smell of vanilla-cherry tobacco.
This is pretty spot on for TV. Haha. I prob shouldn’t have bought it. BUT– it is a tiny bit sweeter, smoother, and creamier. A little more cake, less clove/tobacco. So I guess it’s more feminine. I think I like this more….
I love it. And if you can’t afford/get Tom Ford TV– I highly rec this! It was about $50 from ebay. And it’s so damn close.
This was a tissue test, will report back on a proper skin/clothing wear. 🙂
Mmmmm….. less clove/green tobacco than TV, and more sweet. Like snickerdoodle cookies. 😉 But still a great dupe for TV.
Decent sillage/potency- not super strong (mugler strong) by any means, but I kept covering myself in this because I enjoy it so much. And I wanted to assault my own nose with it. 🙂
My day-after tissue test is a little more flowery powdery (jasmine/almond?- has some slight relation to Hypnotic Poison) – but not much. In fact, my day-after tissue test is EXACTLY the sweet vanilla/cherry tobacco scent I was aiming for! My co-worker smokes a pipe, and his van/cherry tobacco smells SO GOOD- I wanted a perfume to match that. And this is closer to that than TV. It almost makes me want to sell my new TV to buy more Tonka backups! Haha!
This is just delightful. My first tissue test has lasted for days. A sweet honey tobacco smell. Sort of like TV meets Lalique Le Parfum.
olexiy – :
This is way more masculine than I expected.
It opens with spices and bitter almond, then the spicyness mellows-a bit- down and a dirty,dark vanillic honey/tonka combo comes in front.It never becomes too sweet.
This perfume has a strong character and it’s very well blended.It’s not an ordinary one.
To me,unfortunately, the spices are too much, but I’ll give it some time,maybe I’ll change my mind.
Medium sillage but it’s very longlasting.
shargov10 – :
Sweet syrup and RUM,anyone? Somewhat recalling a rich winter Christmas cake.
Cealryler – :
This is beautiful
A gourmand version of TF tobacco vanille.
I get lots of bitter almond, clove and for some reason cinnamon.
Its a very toasty, boozy, vanilla.
TF smelt like a strong luxury tea to me and this smells more like a luxury vanilla candle, warm pancakes and furniture.
Men can pull this off also.
riolev7 – :
i’m a man but i bought this because a frag reviewer on YouTube said this smelled exactly like TF Tobacco Vanille… I haven’t even smelled TFTV but my god this stuff is great. Smells rich and masculine. Love the honey and clove on the top and then it transitions into a really nice subtle pipe tobacco smell. Addictive. Gotta get a bigger bottle. Long lasting as well. Don’t even mind the very feminine packaging either lol.
SChatwemO – :
I smell ROOT BEER! I know it’s weird and maybe my schnoz is off cause I don’t see any sassafras note, but none the less, that’s what it smells like to me. It’s pleasant! I decided to try this because of the comparison made to Hermessence Ambre Narguile. It does not compare to Ambre Narguile, it’s lacking depth and warmth. There is an almost salty marine note hanging around as well. It has mild sillage, and good lasting power, although the scent itself is really very light, which I was not expecting since the only other Reminiscence scent I have smelled is Patchouli and WHOA!!! That one is crazy powerful.
Манюня. – :
I must say that this is the best honey scent I have tried as well. It is fantastic. The honey-tonka-almond-vanilla with the cloves and anise is SO addictive and intoxicating. There is also a fresh tobacco character to it that is very becoming, sweet and edgy at the same time. Love.
djek73 – :
Honey -> Almond -> Tonka -> Vanilla.
By far the best honey scent i’ve smelt so far. There’s an underlying hint of jasmine (I think my nose hones in on this now as it’s one of my favourite notes) but it’s beautifully blended and sweet but not cloying. Love love love!
yg0 – :
If Pure Havane by Mugler is sold as a male perfume, i don’t see why a man cant pull Reminiscence Tonka. Smells unisex to me. I love it and got a few compliments!
Every phase of the scent is good, very good : from the nutty smell in the opening, to the vanillic drydown, its really a gorgeous scent, i do detect a green (as “fresh leaves”) tobacco note inthe mid phase, with a sweet (but not cloying) honey and i’m surprised not many pointed how it sometimes smells like a lighter version of Tobacco vanille, less potent, less sweet but drier (i actually believe Tonka is more masculine than TV). The performance is still very good, 3 sprays work fine for a whole workshift (8/9h) though the projection is average. The drydown leans on the gourmand side, it reminds me of warm biscuits (vanilla, tonka bean and almond blended). Im just slightly disappointed by the fact that the tonka is actually weak in that fragrance. The honey is too strong so that it sometimes overshadows the other notes. But at that price, the quality is worth it !
Scent 16/20
Longevity 8/10
Sillage 6/10
Projection 6/10
RATING 7,2 / 10

What @SexyJasmine said
AdobeCS – :
I used a dabber sample for this. The opening is nutty and honeyed warming to a tobacco smell reminiscent of Diptyque Volutes EDP or By Kilian Back to Black. The honey really intensifies at this point and verges on too sweet for me. I do love honey notes in perfume so I’m enjoying the drydown which is still(non-skanky) honeyed/vanillic, slightly nutty, and more soft hay than tobacco with less sweetness than in earlier phases(and I think this captures the Tonka bean, coumarin smell quite well). Comforting and inoffensive, fairly long lasting and the price is great for what it is.
Seaman175 – :
Just got this in the mail today. I compared it to TF Tobacco Vanille and while there is a similarity, Tonka is milder and lacks that clove punch that is in TFTV. I like them both equally. Tonka is a bit softer and the honey is quite dominant but not cloyingly sweet. Great alternative to TF. Highly recommended
lionlu – :
Another blind buy but thank you Fragrantica! Due to the reviews of this fragrance on your website I purchased this and OMG! It’s excellent. It is quite beautifully put together. At first I smell the anise,(what is that minty smell that I adore) honey, cloves and vanilla with a slight hint of jasmine.The musk makes it soft for lingering. This is just the beginning. I can see myself wearing this on a daily basis. I believe the sillage is decent because as I turn or move I catch the scent which makes me want to turn or move.
I’m happy with my purchase and this will not be a re-sell.
Love, love, love it!
UPDATE: I smell coconut too but do not see it listed here. I sprayed this perfume on my neck/clothes area and walked away, came back into the room and thought OMG! What is that smell. Then I remembered I sprayed this perfume on me. I think it’s marvelous! Heavenly and wonderful. I am headed to buy yet another bottle while I can.
ZLATA18 – :
Honey alert. I’ve been searching for a true honey scent for ages. L’Occitane’s offerings were the closest I got, but the miel citron line was too citrusy, and the honey water lasted all of five minutes on my skin.
Tonka just might be the honey scent I’ve been searching for—just lovely. I am very partial to the warmth of tonka bean (to me, tonka is a mature vanilla, and a young amber–it lends sweetness w/o the candy and warmth w/o the mustiness) and the cherry-smoothness of almond, I wish it were stronger, but it does last longer than many offerings, and at a fraction of the price. Tonka is what I wanted, and expected, from What We Do In Paris, without the face-powder dry down, with much better longevity, for less money, and I can actually find it in my country. I’m sold.
Gumdeo – :
Tonka smells on my skin like slightly tamed version of Tobacco Vanille without that annoying clove scent i get everytime i try to wear TV. Funny thing is that in fact Tonka contains clove but i can’t really detect it. On me it’s all about sweet sweet honey with small dose of vanilla. Wonderful addition to my collection. When i wear it i feel amazing in sweet cocoon of coziness. Longevity – great, about 10 hours with couple of sprays, sillage – satisfying, gets stronger when worn in cooler weather.
berbusari83 – :
I love this stuff. It is all I hoped for and more. I love this not overly sweet, warm spicey tonka heaven in a bottle. Definitely unisex and yes, I see a similarity with SL Arabie. I find this perfect for day wear as it is not overly strong. My girlfriends find this a bit masculine but hey, what do I care. It might be an edt but its more potent than many an edp I have tested. Very long lasting and with a moderate sillage. I just cannot stop sniffing my wrist.
hoanuncnupe – :
Love it but to me it’s just a skinscent. No projection at all and rather poor to moderate longevity. Keeping in consideration the tester at the store might have been off a bit due to the spotlights and the heating, this is not going to be a FB purchase. According to the SA this was one of the least sold perfumes of the Reminiscence range.
Павло Лінда – :
Reminiscence Tonka smells like artificial cherry, sweet vanilla, almond and tonka on me. It does remind me a tiny bit of Tobacco Vanille, but it’s not a dupe. I do like this perfume, but I don’t really love it. I will give it some time to impress me.
All right, now I know that once this settles into the skin for a few hours I really like it. The artificial cherry note has disappeared, and that’s a good thing for me. I am not a fan of anything artificial cherry. Now it smells really cozy and warm, which was exactly what I wanted out of this smell.
sasadada – :
On me i get sweet, sweet honey and tobacco. But mainly the honey. Not quite sure about it. I like it but maybe it’s a bit sickly?
rusik2602 – :
fratello di musc ravageur, meharees e costume national homme, è un’ottimo accordo resinoso e caldo. le prime note sanno di miele epperò si assestano rapidamente su chiodi di garofano (non preminenti) e fave di tonka (cumariniche ed eccellenti). l’evoluzione procede poi su vaniglia, mandorla e sentori di ambra. mi piace assai.
wka78 – :
A wonderful scent but not on my skin. Great mix of Tonka, Vanilla, Musk, Almond & Honey. Great on other girls and on paper-strip but not on me. Very longlasting. Timeless – I can see all women 20+ wearing R Tonka for both daytime or to party.
En underbar doft men inte på min hud. Otroligt fin mix av Tonka, Vanilj, Musk, Mandel & Honung. Fantastisk på andra tjejer och på pappersremsa men inte på mig. Otroligt hållbar på huden. Tidlös – jag kan se alla över 20 år bära denna, både till vardags och till fest.
lvh940elipseskism – :
Deliciously dirty honey and cloves. This is wonderful! It reminds me of something… I can’t quite place it yet, argh!
Surprised to find sillage a bit subdued for my taste after the intensity of Rem’s Patchouli (edt)!! Maybe just because I dabbed from a sample?
Anyway early on it’s a ‘love’ for me. Will give it a bit though, I try not to fall too quickly 😉
ETA: Is it Lutens’ Arabie I’m reminded of? Hmm that could be it. Been a while since I’ve smelled that one though.
anya.manzuk – :
This reminded me of a softer and more round Tobacco Vanille. It’s not as powerful, but at its price point it is a nice alternative. Although not as strong projecting as Ford’s perfume. I sprayed it on at a local warehouse today and I still smell it on my wrist.
After wearing and testing this during the past year, I’ve found that it is not so much similar to Tobacco Vanille, but more similar to Phaedon Tabac Rouge. Both are powdery and have a strong honey note. If I had to compare them, I’d put Tabac Rouge somewhere in between Tobacco Vanille and Tonka, but much closer to Tonka than to Tobacco Vanille.
ahuni – :
Highly spicy and warm. Too strong for me, not enough creamy, not enough sweet. Too bad.
helloween_1974 – :
A great scent for Xmas – very festive with its spicy oriental gourmand feel. Lots of honey, tonka and vanilla. It’s not a complex scent but it has presence. Good longevity too. Try this if you like Back to Black (similar gourmand feel but Tonka is more spiced).
G_H_O_S_T – :
To me this is very similar to By Kilian Back to Black. It’s very sweet and it lasts forever. It’s good but it’s a simple fragrance, It’s perfect if you want to wear something easy and warm for the colder months.
Asteroid – :
This smells a lot like Back to Black, with the cherry tobacco. I can’t compare it to any other tonka-centric fragrances. It’s classy though. Could be unisex.
iskander198 – :
To me this smell exactly like Meharees by L’Erbolario.
I like it. But it’s really expensive so for the price I go for Meharees..
kimo80 – :
Wow! Eventually a scent that moved my soul, at least for memory reasons.
I knew it was about to come out but I forgot, then I noticed it on a shelf and just had to try it!
I like Reminiscence because they make scents which are both original and not too complicated. Musc is modern musk, Ambre is powdery amber, Patchouli is hippie patchouli… I just don’t like the blue Rem line.
Before spraying Tonka I expected a tonka bean scent in the style of Guerlain’s Samsara (lost one!) drydown, powdery and delicately Woody.
Instead I was shocked by explosion of anise seed which I like very much. Maybe some bergamot was there, no clove identified.
Soon after came the HONEY in cubital power and ate the anise that was trying to pick out.
Honey won and for a good hour that was all. Honey.
Not my favourite stage. I have a love-hate relationship with honey in perfumes. Along the years I noticed that eating honey was not good for me, especially my throat. I had a strange reaction of clenching. But this reaction came first with the note of honey in perfumes that is much more concentrated even if probably not the real thing.
The positive side is that honey in Tonka doesn’t become stale on my skin as for other scents. Just a tiny bit.
Then tonka bean came…
Jasmine? Bitter Almond? Maybe a vague trace of them.
Instead the tonka bean is there quite present but overwhelmed by honey.
It’s a sweet tonka with a light powdery effect, similar to Guerlain but less powerful and more shy in the blend.
Basically it’s a fragrance about honey, at least on my skin.
In spite of all this honeyness, Tonka is a true beauty.
I think that it is a sexy scent, or better sensual/ cosy, intimate like a couple hugging in front of a fireplace in the mountains.
Along its life all the stages come and go, so the scent is not flat. It’s an interesting effect that keeps the wearer captivated, softly teased.
When I try a perfume and like it on the spot, I usually make a quick comparison spraying also Samsara on the other wrist, even if nowadays is tester of the diluited monodimensional EdT. If I like the new one the same or more during all stages it means that I really like it 🙂
Well, today with Tonka it was different because I immediately noticed that there was something purely emotional about this scent. I may not like it, but there was a familiar feeling.
It took me about one hour to remember but it happened.
I must be old and like many older people I cannot remember what I had for lunch and dinner yesterday, but sudden memories of decades ago come out.
I had a flash of myself very young, propably aged 3-4 looking at my mother who was polishing the dark wood furniture in our old flat with a spray called Pronto Mobili, very common and still in use, in the vintage bottle of the ’70s.
I saw myself following her in the house, staring at her with love and adoring eyes, trying to catch her attention and being focused on everything she did and all her moves. In the flash I could feel that atmosphere again and also details like the cloth for polishing with a flowery pattern and the light coming from the balcony hitting the light green wall.
That spray is based on beeswax.
I’m not saying that Reminiscence Tonka smells like a furniture spray, but it comes close 🙂
ps. I want it.
wolver – :
This is very, very similar to Tobacco Vanille: fantastic fragrance and fantastic price…..Thumbs up!!
Дзирт – :
I just tested this one, quite nice, but I don’t love it specially, the coumarine tonka note is very strong, the almonds also, give the impression like there is also heliotrope, it’s quite powdery, dense; the most prominent tonka facets here are the honey ones, and some tobacco also after a while; not for me, but quite nice anyway, lasts for ages and good sillage as usual! If you like tonka, then go for it, also reminds me Tonka Imperiale, maybe less complex, and a bit Dolce Acqua PFR with its heliotropine & bitter almond notes.
malder77 – :
does this remind a bit of what Hypnotic poison used to be before? Vanilla & anice, really have to test this one!
shato – :
I got to test this today and unfortunately for me this was not up to the huge expectations I had for this scent. Too sweet, nothing magic with it, just too much vanilla and anise and honey mixed together with jasmine and a touch of musk. Reminiscence is sweet too with all that star anise, but it ends up being a magic perfume thanks to the grand mix of spices within, but Tonka, no… far away from being a unique fume.
So I gladly grabbed a bottle of Patchouly and ran back home…
C’mon Reminiscence, you can do much better than that!
