A closer look at Reminiscence Tonka EDT
Tonka EDT is made by Reminiscence. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Tonka for work or evenings
It works better at night than in the day, so it is a good pick for evenings, dinners and going out. Its sweet side feels cosy and rich after dark.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts longer than Prada Infusion De Amande. Base notes like tonka bean and vanilla are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Best seasons to wear it
The best time of year to wear it is winter. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: winter, fall, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
