As I sit here and smell it, truly, I like it. It is warm and deep and pleasant. In another hour or so, it will smell of little more than heliotrope - a vanilla-violet powder. An hour ago, it was...

A gorgeous, most wearable rose fragrance that in no way smells old-fashioned or offensive. Yet another stunner from OJ that uses an over-used fragrance note (rose) and turns it into something...

This is perhaps my least favorite of the Oromonde Jaynes, mostly because of the strong citrus top notes. It begins with a blast of grapefruit, and then dries down to a soft, nondescript floral...

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...

This is a gorgeous, warm, womanly blend of tolu, amber and frankincense, notes which are rather common in perfumery but have never been done to such perfection. I'm usually not a huge fan of amber...

I'm amazed at how much I like this beautiful, lush frangipane fragrance. It opens up tart and citrusy with linden blossom and lime; the heart is a beautiful mix of fragnipane, jasmine, tuberose,...

I will probably be stoned for giving a less than stellar review to an Ormonde Jayne scent, but here goes. While I am generally an admirer of OJs, this one is not a favorite. It has that...

The positive: this lasts and LASTS. On my skin it was still potent 12 hours after application -- so if you love this one you are getting your money's worth.
I was really hopeful that the tea...

Oh dear! This just isn't me *at all*! Initially Ormonde is very green and stemmy and then a deep, sweet herbal note emerges that I haven't experienced before - the black hemlock, I assume. This...

If I hadn't seen it being decanted from the Tolu bottle in Ormonde Jayne I wouldn't have believed I was trying the same scent as all the reviewers below. In fact, I wouldn't have believed it was a...

Frangipani is a glorious lush tropical floral scent. Linda Pilkington must have psychic powers, because she said that this one and Ta'if from her line of scents would suit me best and and she was...

Ta'if is an autumn rose; the blend of dates and saffron with Ta'if roses is smooth and rich - this is not a girly rose and it is unlike any other rose scent I have tried. The dates and saffron...

I have an absolutely cursed body chemistry that turns just about everything I put on into sugar or powder. When I find a perfume that I can wear without smelling like a confection or a baby wipe, I...

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...

WOW! I can't believe how much I am liking this scent! I was cautious at first because I don't like my fragrances too sweet and with a name like Frangipani, it just screamed sweet to me. Boy was I...

I have mixed feelings about Champaca. When first sprayed, it smells like Miracle by Lancome (to my nose). I used to own Miracle but gave it away because I just didn't find myself wearing it. When I...

Crackles onto my skin with a heady, sappy greenness like branches breaking in a forest, clean and resinous. Call it grass and coriander if you want, but I can't stop thinking about a clear essence...

The OJ literature cites the inspiration for this scent as the champaca flower, native to India. I would love to go to India. I would love to smell India. And, if I were to go to India, there is an...

I love this one enough to wear it myself. It's similar to Ormonde Woman, but it has more wood and less sweetness. Ormonde Man smells like a magical forest I want to get lost in. It's an amazing...
