Tonka Cola Mancera 2022

I already wrote a statement about this fragrance a while ago, but it simply deserves a more detailed review. So, here we go. :-)

I got to know this fragrance through a sharing, after I noticed it several times here and although I couldn't do much with the fragrance description, I was still quite curious. I didn't necessarily expect it to be a fragrance for me. Do I really want to smell like cola? I think cherry is great, but citrus scents are always a bit of a problem for me, just like cinnamon... Hmmm...
When the fragrance arrived, I sprayed it on straight away and was immediately in love with it. I've never smelled anything like it before: definitely cola, but not as blatantly sweet as I had feared, and clearly lemon, just like in Lemon Coke. There's also a little bit of cherry, but it's quite in the background. Nutmeg and cinnamon are not clearly recognizable for me, which is quite good in my case ;-)
In the dry down, the fragrance becomes softer and the lemon recedes into the background, where it combines with the vanilla. Tonka comes through very clearly. Surprisingly, this harmonizes perfectly with the cola.

For me, the fragrance is suitable for all kinds of occasions and at any time of year. In summer, it's better not to overdo it with the dosage, as it could be a little too much. I also wear the fragrance in the office and so far my colleagues have only had positive things to say about it.

A really very special fragrance that not everyone will like. Obviously mainly men here at EssenceVitae. I think Tonka Cola is really unisex and can be worn by everyone. I've since ordered a bottle of the next one - I can't afford to run out of this fragrance.
