I had the sample set of nine fragrances.

Like dreamstorm, I also think the men's version is very similar to Ormonde for Women, except that this one is sharper and greener, and more traditionally masculine. I much prefer the Women's...

I wanted to love Ormonde, the hemlock, the darkness. Unfortunately on my skin all I get is powder and black pepper and sweetness (maybe from the violets?. I don't get anything mysterious or...

I'm not sure how much more I can add other than this is simply spectacular. Ormonde for Women is pure perfection in its own weird, moody way. This fragrance captures my personality better than any...

Osmanthus is a gorgeous citrussy/floral, one of my favourite Ormonde Jaynes. It stays amazingly fresh and citrussy to the end (and it lasts 4-5 hours on me), but it is unusual in that it manages...

I pretty much love all of the Ormonde Jayne scents, but they are so different. This one is tarty and sassy. It smelled almost ordinary on the first spritz, but then it really was wonderful in the...

This is a wonderful unisex fragrance. I wore it for a brief time and loved it, only to have it snatched from me by my husband when he smelled it on me. This goes on very citrusy/peppery, seeming...

This is an amazing fragrance if it works on you. It is rich, starting out tangy and settling into a wonderful dark, rich violet. This is the only fragrance that my husband literally followed me...

Definitely my favorite of the 5 Ormonde Jaynes I've tried. At first it smelled like new-mown grass mixed with chocolate, but the notes quickly settled into a fresh green, piney without being like...

Tolu seems to be the MUA favorite of the Ormonde Jayne line--of the 5 samples I swapped for, this was the one with the least in it. I was looking forward to it because of the frankincense. But Tolu...

My perfect rose is a fruity, apricot/peach-tinted one, so I hoped this would be it. But on me, no peach! no date! just powdered rose and something that smells like dry dead leaves. A fragrance so...

Very citrusy top notes, settles into a warm rounded fruity floral and stays that way. Commendable lasting power--it's not leaving until it wants to.

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...

Blah! Too much citrus and I don't like Osmanthus to begin with. Take my review with a grain of salt. If you like Osmanthus and citrus you'll probably like it.

This starts of a lovely rose and fresh peach. Then it shifts to a powdery, citrus rose. Finally it dries down to a fruity, saffron, amber/musk rose. However, the fruitiness is no longer peachy. ...

This is my favorite of the OJ line. I'm too tired today to go into details, but I agree with the Eqyptian Musk w/ flowers description. Very pretty.

Absolutely sparkling and lovely. Refreshingly tropical without being coconutty or powdery. I enjoy this more than Chantecaille Frangipane (too sweet/too much vanilla at times). All OJ fragrances...

After an initial very rough blast, Champaca immediately mellows down a few seconds later to a soft Egyptian musk with a mist of ethereal
flowers hovering on top. That was my impression before...
