    If I had a time machine, I would go back to the 90s-early 2000s and buy every perfume in the department store. I don't know if the formulas get cheaper or I get older and old-fashioned things...

    YAY! I got a bottle of this for Valentine's Day after having it on my wish list forever. I am glad though, because I am in my 30s now and old enough to wear it. ELEGANZA, forever. I get a nice...

    Lovely light floral, almost lemony. I was really looking forward to the basmati note, but all I got was a bit of something buttery. It is a beautiful and unusual scent, though, and well worth trying.

    Another beauty from OJ. I will always love Ormonde Woman the best, but this one has a lot of charm. It's an unusually comforting fragrance and even though it's more of a spring/summer scent I find...

    I get excited every time I see rice listed as a fragrance note, so Champaca was a must-try for me. Unfortunately, while I can smell the tiniest hint of basmati, it's almost completely overwhelmed...

    Delicious, subtle, spicy and dries down to something deep and fascinating, evokes Marrakesh, a silken room draped with purples and reds and cozy sofas and pillows. Something exotic and dreamy....

    Ormonde Jayne's are outstanding; you must recognize that they're so well constructed and so well blended, that you can even justify the steepy price for those fabulous little bottles. That said,...

    Note that I am only writing this review after having worn the perfume once. I recently tried a sample of this and it lasted much longer on my skin than either Ormonde Woman or Sampaquita. I do feel...

    What are they putting in these perfumes that make them so addictive? I got the sample set and thought Champaca was lame(actually I thought a few of them were unremarkable) but I keep wanting to use...

    An excellent, smooth, well blended floral. On me it starts out with a blast of fairly true champaca flower, after a few minutes the basmati rice notes become more prominent. A strange sort of fresh...

    The loveliest of all the OJs. Opens with a delicate green that morphs into a floral that is never cloying. The rice note that subsequently develops has such a comforting quality. Reminds me of...

    Champaca is a beautiful fragrance, it's a creamy floral, lightly spiced with pink pepper, with a beautifully unusual basmati note floating in and out of the accord. It has touches of bamboo and...

    This is the best one of all the OJ I've tried so far. Not flower-y...this is definitely more ME than the other floral ones. Though it does smell "familiar" this one is fabulous. This scent...

    At first sniff, it reminded me of a dog that I had. Then I smelled the basmati rice, but for some reason it is too much for me.
