Geza Schoen

"Tolu is a warm amber-woody Eau de Parfum built around rich balsamic resin, golden frankincense, amber, and tonka bean. Its opening combines juniper berry, orange blossom, and clary sage for an aromatic, lightly citrus-toned introduction. The heart develops into a soft floral blend of orchid, rose, Egyptian geranium, and lily-of-the-valley. In the drydown, Tolu balsam provides a velvety, sweet, resinous foundation, reinforced by incense, amber, and tonka. The overall effect is opulent, sensual, powdery, and warmly oriental without losing an elegant floral dimension. Launched in 2002, Tolu remains one of the enduring fragrances associated with the Ormonde Jayne line."
