I’m a huge fan of the Tonka Tabak perfume but sadly am struggling to get hold of more.
I’ve tried emailing directly but the email always bounces and I don’t use social media. If there’s another way of contacting them, I’d love to know as I’m desperate to replenish my stock of their lovely perfume!

I love this brand
I love this brand. Especially the Tonca Tabac range. It’s one of my favs to wear.
Came across this lovely lady at The Brunswick Festival and I’ve ordered since online.
Only niggle is your online email bounces back when I try to contact you.

Love the church incense smell! Really smells of Christmas memories.
Really sad there are no scented candles anymore… I felt they really were superior to other scented candles, have a wonderful room smell :-) if I could vote for bringing them back I would.
Thanks for the speedy delivery!

A memorable experience
We visited a perfume making workshop at Hal of Hove after having sampled some of their fragrances at North Lane Bazar, Brighton, and being highly impressed by these.
The workshop was hosted by company owner, Dinah, at her home and was a truly memorable experience. Dinah guided us through perfume history, composition and philosophy, before allowing us to dive in, sniff, compose, blend and adjust our own fragrances.
We had such a fun time and Dinah really was the perfect host: helpful, funny and knowledgeable, but also relaxed in letting us explore for ourselves, make mistakes and learn.
At £45 a head, the workshop represents phenomenal value for 2 hours of tuition and expert guidance, as well as a 50ml fragrance of your own creation to take home. The ingredients used are clearly top quality, as one or two sprays is all that's needed for the perfume to last all day.
We will certainly be going back and would recommend the experience to anyone, whether they be fragrance experts or just interested in an unusual day out with friends or family.

We had the best time making perfumes…
We had the best time making perfumes with Dinah. The fragrances turned out amazing, and it was super interesting learning how it all worked. We would definitely do it again.

Amazing Unusual Scents
Genuinely some of the best quality and service for a product I have received in a long time! Hal of Hove provide some amazing and unique scents, I’d recommend ‘Altar’ but they all are so different and strange (in the best possible way!) that I’m sure there’s one for everyone. They sent the item quickly and it even arrived with some extra goodies and a hand written card! I would absolutely recommend purchasing from them - 10/10!

Beautiful natural perfumes
Beautiful natural perfumes.
I discovered these natural perfumes at a festival stall and my favourite is the gorgeous Tonka Tabac.
Lovely brush, great value and arrived quickly
Lovely weighty brush, perfect for what I wanted it for, which is ink drawing/painting. Was pleasantly surprised that it was bigger than I'd imagined - which was a very good surprise!
Great value and arrived quickly and well packed
