What does Tawanna (Cologne) smell like?

Its notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Jasmine, rose and lily of the valley form the floral core, while spices and frankincense add oriental warmth and a faint smoky edge. Oakmoss gives it depth, and the sweet, powdery accords keep the overall feel soft and old-fashioned. It is floral at heart but not a plain flower scent, with a clearly spicy and sweet side. Elizabeth Taylor Passion (Eau de Toilette) and Estēe Lauder Youth-Dew (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
