The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Velvety Tonka follows the almond, orange blossom, tobacco, rose and tonka list in a small 34 ml extrait, so expect a denser, oilier wear than Velvet Tonka's eau de parfum.
Where it differs: Silky Seed 0505 is a UK impression of Velvet Tonka's almond-tonka profile; the sweet tonka core is promised, but the maker does not publish its rose and tobacco details.
