I drove over to the Le Labo Venice Beach store this afternoon to try it after watching this review this morning. I wish the staff weren't so hipster-aloof, particularly since they're selling such expensive fragrances. Anyway, I tried two sprays on my wrist to get a good sense of it - Its very nice, but after only about an hour or two it is a generic spicy wood dry down on me. I haven't had much luck with Le Labo - Rose 31 is great for an hour or so but does the same. I really appreciate a good dry down.
Smelled this last week on a strip pre-release and got a sample of it this week. Initial impression was that of the fragrance blast when walking by a LUSH shop. Trying on my sample reinforced that impression. I really enjoy the citrus, musk and cedar in it though. It’s what I wished LUSH Karma would have been...
I just bought this Sebastian after blind buying Lys 41. I will probably be returning Lys 41. I do feel like I am not giving Lys 41 a fair chance. Perhaps I am smelling it in the wrong season. Tonka 25 Smells so unique on me. Love it. Runners were Santal 33, D’orangear. Def full bottle worthy. I have samples of D’Orangear and Santal 33. Lets see how those play out on my skin.
Great to see your thoughts on this again while trying it out myself. I quite like it, and am glad that it's not really like Tonka Imperiale or Feve Delicieuse since, between those two, we've got tonka gourmands covered thoroughly. I almost get a guaiac vibe out of Tonka 25, probably due to the combination of musk and cedar, but it's very pleasant, the tonka/woody/musky combo working very well. It's quite agreeable, and it's sort of what I would've wanted out of Santal 33, something a little more satisfying and sweet. On the axis from safe to daring, Tonka 25 is certainly on the safer side, but it feels like a year-round staple to me. I think it's a solid release even if a bit tame.
I’m obsessed with this fragrance - One of my favorite fragrances of 2021. Just bought it last night and love the way the cedar is blended with the tonka and I typically do not like tonka in my fragrances.
They have a Le Labo shop in Seattle as well. I believe it opened within the last couple of years. Thanks for this review! I’ve been so curious to hear more about Tonka 25. I’m looking forward to this release and being able to sample it.
Intriguing but I shy away from cedar so I may not go out of my way. I don’t have a lot of experience with Le Labo, not sure why I haven’t sampled that many.
It's good to hear it's quite different than other tonka dominant fragrances , so.it wouldn't be redundant to get this one. It'll be interesting to see how it performs , great video👍 Sláinte🙏
I did a rather large paper sample of le labo at Nordstrom. I really liked this one and neroli 36. I purchased neroli but tonka will be my next purchase. I will say that I wish my neroli would last longer in terms of performance but I like the clean scent I get from using neroli.
Wow, nice! Yes I’m excited ha! Look forward to trying this, i just recently got jo Malone myrrh tonka and sold my Guerlain tonka imperiale as i prefer feve delish! Thanks for all the informative information!
Nice scoop! It's late here but can't help to watch the video. Gifted Bergamot 22 to my sister but don't own any yet. Favourites from my testing are The Noir 29 and Another 13. Too bad I did not managed to try Gaiac 10 as the city exclusives were not available here last month. Have you checked out Zara's 4MBR0X which is quite similar to Another 13?
Tonka Bean Absolue is ridiculously delicious, one of my favorite natural raw materials and definitely the most mouthwatering of all LOL :) Curious to try this one though, as I know they play with the names of their perfumes and other notes are more dominant comparing to the ones mentioned in the perfume name :P
Yeah you're right I live in Antwerp and I was surprised a few months ago when I saw the shop there... I'm surely going to get a sample next week! Great review
Hello there! Do you like Tonka 25 better than Another 13? My favourites from Le Labo are: Santal 33; Another 13 and The Noir 29. Tonka 25 must be great as well! Do you have a top list for Le Labo?
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i’ve been to the new Le Labo in Zurich today, and I am struggling to decide which scent should i purchase. I sprayed Santal 33 in one hand; Another 13 in the other; and noir 29 on my wrist... help me, i love them all!
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews thanks a lot for your feedback! Well, I was wondering why I did not find a Santal 33 video from you... Looking forward to watching a Le Labo top list! Have a nice day ;)
Initially, I wasn't sure whether to hate or to love Tonka 25. It smelled vile on the blotter paper -- like a combination of musks, powdery florals, and a woman's dirty underwear. On the skin, it was a reasonably pleasant musky, powdery floral -- not my favorite type of scent, but certainly not a scrubber either. What most impressed me though was Tonka 25 scent's evolution and it's sheer staying power. I sprayed it on in during late afternoon and it lasted through the next day. The fragrance that I sprayed on my cotton shirt survived a thorough laundering, and was still quite prominent. I liked Tonka 25 enough that I purchased two 1.5 ml vials from the Le Labo shop in Chelsea. I still can't get over the fact that it smells like a girl's dirty panties upon initial spraying thought, lol.
Today I learned that we have even more in common - you hate dabbers! LOL Believe it or not I only discovered tonka very recently, when someone gifted me a sample of Tonka Imperiale (non-spray!) which led me to Feve Delicieuse. Question - how do you feel about Eau Noire? NIce review :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i ended up blind buying lol I got a good deal;) I love fragrance and collecting so really can’t go wrong and I don’t have niche fragrances sold near me so I usually have to go off notes and reviews and buy blindly. Again, love your reviews and you always help me with my purchases :)

Smelled this for the first time last weekend and I've dreamt of it everyday. It's unique and right up my alley.
Same here, the development of this is so delightful and light, puts a smile on my face.

Lys 41 to me is more spring and summer scent. I do enjoy it. Tonka 25 more of a fall winter! :)

I really like the Noir by Le Labo. Excited to try the Tonka 25!

This is my signature scent🥰
Wow, the perfumer has made all my favorites from that house
Intriguing but I shy away from cedar so I may not go out of my way. I don’t have a lot of experience with Le Labo, not sure why I haven’t sampled that many.
LOVE THIS - have to finally commit to getting a bottle
Always been a fan of woodier and drier tonka frags. Definitely will check this one out. Thanks Sebastian!
Gosh I love your video’s - love them all, the ones you do with others, or alone.. thank you for putting the time into doing these for us😎
I absolutely love Tonka 25 lotion
It's good to hear it's quite different than other tonka dominant fragrances , so.it wouldn't be redundant to get this one.
It'll be interesting to see how it performs , great video👍

Great review! Can't wait to try this one
Thanks for Tonka bean explanation and picture!
Great first impression and I enjoyed it and I'm gonna try it have a blessed day

I got a sample of this and wow I love this I will be getting It most likely just got to see how long it last and how it projects.
So excited about this one. I'm sure i'll love it.

Sounds interesting! I love tonka / coumarin. Great preview on this one buddy 👍🏻
Yeah you're right I live in Antwerp and I was surprised a few months ago when I saw the shop there... I'm surely going to get a sample next week! Great review
Very cool, love the idea of this fragrance. I need to explore the brand too. Thank you.
So far I have observed...you are the true perfume Guru...salute
Tonka 25 have the same vibe like Kajal Dahab, Erba pure, right?
Sounds good. Still got to explore the House of Le Labo. Enjoyed the video ✌🏻
Top 20 tonka?
Maybe! :)
I second this request!
It smells to me like a milder Another 13. Slightly less “musky.”
Yes, please do a video of your TOP TONKA fragrances! ....
awesome will try it thanks a lot like always great video
Have you heard about the new city exclusive coming out next year- Miami a tobacco fragrance.
New city exclusive?! How do you know about this?
Ordered it on a whim Good review!
Ordered a sample, loved it! Also santal 33 is 🔥
Hello there! Do you like Tonka 25 better than Another 13? My favourites from Le Labo are: Santal 33; Another 13 and The Noir 29. Tonka 25 must be great as well! Do you have a top list for Le Labo?
They are completely different actually. Another is more layering or skin scent. Tonka is a woody tonka scent! :)
Maybe soon for a top Le Labo list! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i’ve been to the new Le Labo in Zurich today, and I am struggling to decide which scent should i purchase. I sprayed Santal 33 in one hand; Another 13 in the other; and noir 29 on my wrist... help me, i love them all!
For this season The Noir 29! :)
Not too much a fan of Santal 33 although it's growing on me.
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews thanks a lot for your feedback! Well, I was wondering why I did not find a Santal 33 video from you... Looking forward to watching a Le Labo top list! Have a nice day ;)

Eau Noire is nice sadly discontinued though! :(
Sounds interesting.
Worth a blind buy? (Even to re-sell if need be) also top le Lembo is easily the noir 29 I just love the smell..
Always test before you blind buy a very expensive fragrance like this! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews i ended up blind buying lol I got a good deal;) I love fragrance and collecting so really can’t go wrong and I don’t have niche fragrances sold near me so I usually have to go off notes and reviews and buy blindly.

I still find it so odd how Le Labo almost never releases anything new
Santal 33 forever
