Pink pepper, Bulgarian rose and double vanilla
Tonquin Giza is a strong, unisex Eau de Parfum by Rayhaan, tagged floral, gourmand and oriental for evenings and special occasions. Pink pepper and bergamot open it, Bulgarian rose, ylang-ylang and a touch of cedarwood form the heart, and double vanilla, benzoin and amber close it. The base is the star here, and a decant lets you give it a proper evening.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
Pink pepper and bergamot start the perfume, together with accents the description calls incense-like. FragranceGems describes the opening as refined, sparkling and slightly spiced. It is a short, bright entrance meant to lead you into the floral heart.
Bulgarian rose rules the heart, with ylang-ylang and a touch of cedarwood. The description sees this floral and woody core as giving the perfume its elegant, unisex character. Rose and ylang-ylang can both be creamy, and the cedar is there to keep them from drifting.
The base is double vanilla, benzoin and amber, called the star of the show. The description pictures a creamy, golden-brown finish. Benzoin adds a resinous sweetness, so this stretch is richer than a plain vanilla, and it is the part to judge on your own skin.
Testing it
Wear Tonquin Giza in the evening with one spray on bare skin, in cool autumn or winter air, and again in spring if you want to see the third season listed. Note the pepper at the start, the rose after a while and the vanilla and benzoin at the end. Try it on a special occasion once to see how it holds a room.
It is listed as unisex and strong, for evenings and special occasions in autumn, winter and spring. It suits people who like a rose-and-vanilla perfume with resin and amber underneath and a little spice at the beginning. If you want a fresh, light perfume for every day, the base of this one will be heavier than you need.
Double vanilla and benzoin can be a beautiful base or a cloying one, and no description tells you which on your skin. A 10 ml decant lets you find out over a few evenings before you consider the 100 ml bottle FragranceGems also sells.

Double vanilla, benzoin and amber are the base, and the finish is described as creamy and golden-brown. How sweet it feels depends on your skin, and the pink pepper at the start adds a little contrast.
Bulgarian rose is named first in the heart, with ylang-ylang and cedarwood beside it. Whether it dominates on you is something a sample will show.
No, it is not an official brand sample: the vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and carries our own label, and the brand had no say in it.
The brand
Rayhaan makes Eau de Parfum with a warm, oriental signature, and FragranceGems has carried the house long enough to sell more than twenty of its perfumes as samples. The range swings from tropical and aquatic scents such as Aquatica and Pacific Aura to dense gourmands like Pharaoh, so the name on the bottle is not a reliable guide. A few samples, worn on separate days, are. All Rayhaan perfumes here are Eau de Parfum.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
