Tonka Beans (Dipteryx odorata) come mostly from Venezuela. These are the seeds of the large tropical Tonka tree. They
have a high coumarin content, which provides a sweet/spicy, herblike
fragrance.
The beans are sometimes used to flavor tobaccos and
snuffs. The essential oil is often used in the perfume industry.
Tonka beans are frequently used in sachets and in potpourri. They are said to lighten a person's mood and be emotionally balancing.
The legend behind tonka beans claims they were used to grant wishes and strengthen love.
The "Best Wishes" set includes beans and instructional scroll detailing how to use them to make wishes.
The "Everlasting Love" kit includes 4 beans, red velvet carrying satchels, love oil, and instructional scroll.
