How does Rayhaan Tonquin Giza smell?
Cacao and spices make up the top of Rayhaan Tonquin Giza, a dry, bittersweet pairing in which the cacao is more cocoa powder than candy. Bitter almond and coumarin form the heart. Bitter almond is nutty and marzipan-like, and coumarin smells of sweet hay and warm tonka, so the middle turns soft and almost cakey.
Tonka bean and vanilla complete the base. Both are sweet, creamy and comforting, and tonka adds a little dried-hay warmth. With only two notes at the bottom, the base is simple and smooth. Overall, the scent is a compact gourmand: cocoa and spice at the start, almond in the centre, and sweetness to finish.
Who is Rayhaan Tonquin Giza for?
Tonquin Giza is listed as unisex, and the shop tags it for autumn, spring and winter, as well as evening and special. Cacao, almond and tonka suit a wearer who prefers dessert-like warmth, kept dry by spice rather than made sticky.
