BDK Velvet Tonka Eau de Parfum is a delectable portrait of tonka wrapped in creamy almond and luminous orange blossom, touched with a petal-like rose and a whisper of tobacco before melting into a plush base of tonka, vanilla, amyris, and amber woods. The effect is powdered sugar, soft yet sophisticated, a comforting gourmand with an elegant glow for her.

Story and Positioning
Part of Collection Matières, Velvet Tonka spotlights the tonka bean as a delicious center surrounded by almond and orange blossom, described by the house as an oriental style delicacy with a velvety woody accord and an addictive powdery trail. It reads as a refined gourmand amber that moves easily from daytime ease to dressed evening moments.
Bottle and Design
Velvet Tonka arrives in a clear, upright glass bottle with crisp planes and a solid, transparent base that feels composed in the hand. An eggshell label sits centered and quiet, edged by a slim ink line with elegant serif lettering and generous white space. Short, square shoulders rise to a trim metal collar that keeps the profile neat. Crowning it is BDK’s signature curved cap in deep lacquer black, seating flush with a gentle, precise close. The sprayer lays down a light, gauze-like fan for even coverage. The outer box uses smooth matte white stock with a fine printed frame and restrained branding, and a fitted tray holds the flacon snug for a calm, refined reveal.
