A delicious shimmering amber to follow the movement of your body like a fantastic beast.
It conjures up aromas of licorice rum, autumn sunset apples, and smoky bitter sweet tonka.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
As the afternoon light turns copper, Tonka Bodykon suits a shift into a closer, slower social rhythm. Rum-like warmth and bittersweet tonka suggest sensuality without ceremony; the apple brings a brighter edge, like a flash of color against soft, close-fitting fabric.
How to wear
Its sweet amber and rum-tonka profile lends itself to cooler weather, particularly autumn. Start with one or two sprays on the torso or inner arms to keep the warmth close to the body. In warmer conditions, use a lighter application so the fruity detail has room alongside the richer sweetness.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy gourmand perfumes with a bitter or smoky counterpoint rather than straightforward confectionery sweetness. It will appeal to lovers of tonka, boozy amber and fruit woven into warm, woody textures.

The nose
Pierre Guillaume is a self-taught perfumer with a background in chemistry, known for combining technical experimentation with tactile, often gourmand compositions. His work, including Cozé and Musc Maori, explores unexpected contrasts while remaining approachable on skin. In Tonka Bodykon, he gives tonka a liqueur-like, fruity amber setting rather than treating it simply as a sweet accent.
Pierre Guillaume - Parfumerie Générale’s story
Pierre Guillaume’s independent house brings composition and production together in its Auvergne workshops. Its approach pairs scientific curiosity with poetic, wearable ideas, often exploring an ingredient through contrasting numbered interpretations. Creative autonomy and carefully controlled production matter more to its identity than conventional luxury display.
PG31 Tonka Bodykon’s concept
Tonka Bodykon opens the house’s Theme 31 with a balsamic, fruity interpretation of tonka bean. Its concept joins sunset colors with the sensation of fabric following the body, expressed through the image of a deity dancing with flowing veils in fiery evening light. The composition translates that imagery into rum-like warmth, apple sweetness and a softly enveloping amber character.
Extra info
The name changes “bodycon” to “Bodykon,” taking its “k” from tonka and linking the fragrance to body-conscious clothing. Number 31 inaugurates the house’s tonka theme; the subsequent L’Air & L’Eros 31.1 explores that theme more abstractly through lilac, coumarin and white cocoa.
