    I knew the instant I sprayed this on my wrist it was the HG I had sought after for so long. It was strange, but I just KNEW. In fact, the moment I opened the padded envelope with the sample set I...

    As I wrote in my review of Champaca, my gut reaction on sniffing Ormonde on my right wrist, was that this was the perfect perfume: warm, dry, subtle, velvety, rich, secretive, and a teensy bit...

    Very few times will I run across a fragrance that is unlike any other. Ormonde is one of those fragrances. I scarcely have any existing fragrance to compare it to! It has the smokiness and...

    This is quite a surprise. It starts off with a foresty black hemlock note (which is also apparent in the masculine version of the scent). However, this is no usual woody scent. In fact, it is a...

    Strange, and not for me. Starts out smelling reminiscent of some green tea scents I've tried--I'm pretty sure that's the cardamom. As it dries down, that stronger tea note fades and I...

    If velvet had a smell, this would be it. Gorgeous and intoxicating!

    Sophistication in a bottle. An amazing composition, and a perfume that will turn heads. Green notes of black hemlock, a touch of pepper and cedar and an occasional hint of sweet violets. This is...

    I just cannot jump on the MUA bandwagon with this one. It is a fairly nice, woody, ambery, cedary little thing and dries soft on my skin but it isn't something I will ever wear. It is too pungent...

    Ormonde impresses me that it could be the scent inside of a good witch’s cottage in the woods. Through her open window drifts the smell of trees, grass, and boxed flowers at her sill. There’s a bit...

    Ormonde is my favorite of the line. Based on the description, it's the one I thought I'd like the least. I never thought I'd like a perfume containing black hemlock! I find Ormonde deep, dark,...

    The 2nd OJ scent I've puchased, unsniffed, less than 2 weeks after buying Osmanthus. This is glorious as well. A cool, dark, velvety herbal. Amazing. Perfume deja vu - made me think, I know this...

    Oh, that darned dollar! Most of the Ormonde Jayne's don't work that well on me. I do like Champaca, but I have to be in JUST the right mood for it or it gives me a headache, and the rest of...

    I got a sample of this and was initially put off by the wet herbal opening--thought it would be like rubbing poisonous hemlock leaves on me! But i tried it over the weekend and it was divine. ...

    Very unusual. Immediately reminds me of lemon meringue pie then as it dries down I get the black hemlock. Nice scent. I like it for something different. I think a guy could wear this as well as a...

    I do agree with fcappy. Something in this is indeed reminiscent of pepper and steak. In short, it's sorta foody...but in a good way. It's exotic and peppery and in a strange way, it's...

    Oh dear - I am the first person who does not appreciate this blend. Personally - I think I smell like Steak au poivre but then again - some men might like that. From the first blast of pepper and...

    Hypnotic. This is a scent like no other - which probably means you will either love it or hate it. There is something utterly different about this scent. It is an incredible composition of...

    There tends to be a circular argument when describing Ormonde. It smells like black hemlock (or is supposed to). What does black hemlock smell like? It smells like Ormonde. This fragrance took me...
