Rayhaan Tonquin Giza

Mostly sweet and creamy, like vanilla pod or custard. Underneath that, sweet marzipan, sometimes with a cherry-like edge.

It opens on spices and cacao, moves through bitter almond and coumarin, and settles on tonka and vanilla.

• spices: a general spiciness rather than any one spice
• cacao: dry dark chocolate, more bitter than sweet

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
