Gourmand

Roasted tonka bean smells like warm vanilla cake batter mingled with almond extract, caramel, and a whisper of tobacco leaf. Imagine walking past a patisserie where vanilla pods are being toasted—there's that honeyed sweetness, but deeper and more complex than simple vanilla. It carries subtle notes of maple syrup, dried fruit, and a faint spiciness reminiscent of nutmeg or clove. The "roasted" character adds a slightly smoky, almost cocoa-like undertone that distinguishes it from plain vanilla's brightness. It's comforting, almost edible, yet surprisingly sophisticated.
