Tonka, derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree, originates from the rainforests of South America, particularly in countries like Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil. The seeds are known for their sweet, vanilla-like scent and have been used for centuries in various cultures. In traditional indigenous medicine, tonka seeds were used for their alleged calming and soothing properties. Europeans discovered tonka in the 18th century and began using it as a flavoring agent in perfumes and tobacco. Today, tonka is often utilized in the perfume industry for its warm, sweet aroma.

Muguet, or lily of the valley, is a charming flower that originally existed in Europe and Asia. This delicate bloom symbolizes purity, happiness, and the return of spring. In the Middle Ages, muguet was often used for its alleged medicinal properties. In 1561, King Charles IX of France began offering muguet to ladies of the court as a sign of luck and prosperity. Since then, it has become a tradition to give muguet on May 1, Labor Day in France, as a gesture of good luck. The enchanting scent of muguet also makes it a popular choice in the perfume industry. The floral, fresh notes are often associated with youthful innocence and the joyful arrival of spring.
