    Sampaquita smells like fly spray according to my dh, this and osmanthus are my least favourite of the JO samples I've tried so far...there is a persistance to them which makes me feel nauseous...

    Nooo way!! Like a bubbly J'Adore grapefruit style... YUCK!!!! This literally singes my nosehairs. Great way to wake up and smell like a "SOPHISTICATED, bubbly champagne-y pink grapefruit."...

    Sampaquita is not among my favorite Ormonde Jayne fragrances, but that's not a slight coming from a line as good as this one. I was prepared not to like it at all, because it's not really the sort...

    Nice jasmine, fairly linear scent. Quality fragrance, but not special enough to warrant the purchase of a full bottle.

    I supposed I expected this to smell much more lighter and fresh but it may be due to my lack of experience in perfumery that I didn't really enjoy this scent. I wouldn't mind if I were never able...

    Sampaquita is a refreshingly dewy nectar scent, ideal for an oppressive summer day. These aquatic florals usually induce an instantaneous migraine, but this one has been very well behaved and I...

    I'm so glad that i'm not alone and that the previous reviewer can smell what I can as a base note running through all her scents. It's almost like a boot polish note in every single one. This...

    Floral but not sweet, not "bouquet-y" like Frangipani. Doesn't really "wow" me right off the bat. It is soft and goes on already really light. I was not impressed right away...thinking maybe I'd...

    This is a gorgeous light, gentle tropical floral. Sampaquita opens with a burst of bergamot on me, together with grassy notes that last a long time on my skin. The heart of the scent is a very...

    This and Osmanthus smelled the same to me from the bottle (namely, like Bond's Chelsea Flowers), but on my skin they developed differently, so I abandoned my overly-clever plan of using the same...

    Another surprise from the Ormonde Jayne house for me. I usually stay away from tropical fragrances, as they simply do not work on my skin (they turn bitter and dusty). Not this. It begins sweet and...

    Sampaquita is a beautiful fragrance in general so I have to give it credit for that. Unfortunately, it is SERIOUSLY SWEET! I asked my boyfriend his opinion and he got three feet away from me and...

    Beautiful tropical notes (not usually my thing) but this is gorgeous. Usually find tropical frags to be too OTT. Very lush. Longlasting but subtle enough to wear at work. hard to fault this.

    Sampaguita got lukewarm reviews from several of my OJ loving friends, so my expectations were comfortably low when I finally did try it and I was, consequently, quite surprised at being immediately...

    I would buy this – for my daughter, who loves all scents that have an oceanic touch. On me, this is nothing special. My skin doesn't do this fragrance justice, it just renders it pale and watery....
