Oriental

Tolu balm smells like walking into a candlelit room after someone's been baking spiced biscuits. Imagine warm vanilla cream threaded with cinnamon, clove, and a whisper of leather—almost medicinal in its richness, but decidedly comforting. There's an amber-like sweetness that feels honeyed and slightly resinous, with underlying notes reminiscent of old wood or aged parchment. It's the olfactory equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cashmere blanket on an autumn evening.

Gourmand

Tonka bean smells like warm vanilla custard swirled with almond cream and a whisper of caramel tobacco. Imagine the sweetness of Madagascar vanilla, but richer and almost spiced—there's a subtle nuttiness underneath, as if someone's stirred in crushed amaretti biscuits and a pinch of cinnamon. It's gourmand without being cloying; the scent wraps around you like cashmere, creamy and comforting rather than sticky-sweet.
