FragranceGems describes the opening as refined, sparkling and slightly spiced. It is a short, bright entrance meant to lead you into the floral heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRose, ylang-ylang and cedarwood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulgarian 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble vanilla, benzoin and amber\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear 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.
