The best frangipani I've ever smelled. This is not a perfumey rendition, but as if you stuck your nose right into the flower. Incredible. I am always on a quest for realistic scents (though I...

Damp green velvety magic.

It's nice, as are all Ormonde Jayne fragrances. This one is probably my least favourite from the line. I find it overpowering. It reminds me of a piano teacher I had as a child who was constantly...

Wow. I am in LOVE with this fragrance. I received it in my sample package from Ormonde Jayne and it is by far my favourite from the line. The top notes are sharp (linden blossom, magnolia flower...

Everything about this bath oil is just beautiful beyond belief and of outstanding quality. Only a tiny amount is needed to release a heavenly scent of paradise island flowers. Yes it is horribly...

The best way to choose an Ormonde fragrance is to order the sampler. I did that in February 2006 and finally in December I settled upon the Ormonde Woman as my choice. As a little girl, I was...

Yes -- Yes -- A thousand times YES!!! Finally, out of the 30+ samples of niche fragrances I have ordered recently, I finally have found one that I LOVE and MUST HAVE. Ormonde Jayne's Frangipani...

I love this shop. Everytime I am in London I will venture over to the Royal Arcade and stop in. It is the epitome of elegance. The Ormonde Jayne shop is a "perfume gallery", and the experience is...

Like a couple of reviewers have noted, this doesn't smell like any frangipani I've ever smelled. It's bright, clear and fresh where I would expect it to be darker, more rounded, and a touch more...

I totally agree with Thisbe´s review. A witchs cottage with all the herbs and dried flowers and the smell of old grimoires. The trees outside, the opened windows...Ormonde isn´t really dark. Green...

Orris Noir is not a scent you immediately fall in love with, at least I didn't. The name, as well as the manufacturer's description, is misleading: this is not a noir perfume and at first struck me...

I was very disappointed in this Frangipani which, to my nose, bears no resemblance at all to the real thing. The opening notes on my skin are all citrus and mint. It stays this way through the...

This perfume reminded me of something I haven't thought of in years, one of my grandmothers bathrooms! I mean this in a good way, my grandmother was very feminine unlike my tomboyish mother. She...

Sparkling if the first word that comes to mind for my first Ormonde Jayne. It's flirty; it's fun. It's fruity; it's bubbly. And yet it isn't a Britney Spears concoction, or even an Escada summer...

I've finally received my samples in the mail, all ten of them-so excited! I will sample a scent a day as OJ suggests. I have to say that I'm not much of a fan of Tolu. It reminds me of Obssession...

I should mention that I am a tremendous fan of all the Ormonde Jayne fragrances I've tried so far. I found Frangipani Absolute, Tolu, Ta'if, and in particular Ormonde Woman to be complex,...

A round, soft, velvety perfume, hypnotic in an understated way. It is a scent with an amazing personality, totally unique. Another OJ masterpiece. If I was ever able to have one scent only, then...

I must say that as a whole, this line just wows me. I love their website, from the vast information it holds down to the music, pictures and scent descriptions. This is what I love to know about...
