View full details

Tonka is called a bean. It is the single seed of a large leguminous tree, Dipteryx odorata, in the Fabaceae. Its principal aromatic, coumarin, takes its name from coumarou, a vernacular name for the tree in French Guiana.

01 · Origin

Dipteryx odorata is a tropical hardwood of northern South America. The fruits fall when ripe and the seeds are dried and cured, which develops the coumarin crystals that frost the surface. This absolute is extracted from seeds of certified organic cultivation in Venezuela, DE-ÖKO-007.

02 · Process

The cured seeds are extracted with solvent and the resulting absolute is diluted to 30% in organic alcohol. Coumarins and dihydrocoumarins carry the aroma; ethanol comes from the carrier. Coumarin is the same molecule responsible for the scent of fresh-cut hay.

03 · In Practice

Sweet, warm and balsamic, with almond, hay and vanilla facets. A base note and fixative in natural perfumery, and the backbone of the fougère accord alongside lavender. Natural perfumery, massage blends and olfactory study. Comparative work with Hay, abs. (No. 1560) shows coumarin from two sources. Blends with lavender, vanilla, benzoin, sandalwood, rose, bergamot and patchouli.
