Ormonde Woman was love at first sniff for me. It is one of those enigmatic fragrances that are almost impossible for me to review, because I just can't find the right words to praise its beauty....

I did not get much rose in this-- only passing through in the darkest shadows. I got leather, tobacco and a bit of saffron. It was lovely-- not at all what I expected. Maybe it's my own weird...

Ormonde Jayne's are outstanding; you must recognize that they're so well constructed and so well blended, that you can even justify the steepy price for those fabulous little bottles.

Tropical-Fruity. It an interesting perfume, very sensual in the tropical way it is intended to.
It is sweet and ... did I mention fruity ? :o) mind you not the sicky sweet sirupy mess so common...

I should preface this review by noting that I usually abhor rose as a note in fragrances. A lovely MUA'er sent me a sample of this and I was sure I wouldn't like it. OH my, this had me at hello...

Oh, Ormonde Jayne is really a great, sophisticated line. I like it as all their creations are top notch, made with the finest ingredients.

First of all I must say this Is a 10 for creativity! This smells like nothing I have ever smelled before and Exactly what I want to smell like on a Spring Morning. Crisp! Is what Osmanthus is. ...

Goes on bright and fruity and dries to dark Iris and powdery black velvet jasmine incense. Lovely, layered and complex as all the OJ scents, but unfortunately it reminds me of some vague unpleasant...

NOTE: Review is for Ormonde Woman
Although the perfume didn't really last on my skin for as long as I would've liked it to (only lasted for 9 hrs), this has GOT to be my signature fragrance, I'm...

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...

Note that I am only writing this review after having worn the perfume once. I recently tried a sample of this and it lasted much longer on my skin than either Ormonde Woman or Sampaquita. I do feel...

What are they putting in these perfumes that make them so addictive? I got the sample set and thought Champaca was lame(actually I thought a few of them were unremarkable) but I keep wanting to use...

Franginpane Absolute is what happened when frangipane inhaled helium from a party balloon. Thankfully not too sharp or shrill, but gravity defying. Usually this flower is an ingredient in the...

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...

An excellent, smooth, well blended floral. On me it starts out with a blast of fairly true champaca flower, after a few minutes the basmati rice notes become more prominent. A strange sort of fresh...

Not one of the best OJ ... so far. It's an iris, earthy, rooty, with a minty herbal accent, in the beginning.

I totally agree wit Paschat below.
This is a unique fragrance and a must try for the ones that, like me, love "Angelique Encens" and oriental, sensual frags in general.

Well, this is hard to resist! A creamy white floral with top note of linden blossom, which my nose translates as a fresh green apple. As it dries down, it keeps the freshness in a remarkable way...

Another OJ masterpiece. I normally can not do scents such as this (it smells rose-y on me) but it is heaven. Very good for spring/summer (IMO). I would recommend! Pricey, but, as my husband...
