    I have never smelled frangipane, but I can believe this is exactly what it smells like. Absolutely not to my taste, absolutely beautiful. Quite good longevity. I can't speak to sillage as I apply...

    Ormonde Jayne fragrances smell like department store fragrances should smell, and I mean this in the best possible way. Ormonde Jayne is definitely my favorite house in a draw with Serge Lutens. I...

    Lime, linden, frangipani and musk. Citrus is sometimes weird on my skin chemistry, and this lime is somehow a bit salty, spicy and musky. It's almost like frangipani, is an afterthought. There is...

    Either I had a lemon stuck up a nostril or this smells of killer-lemons or mutant limes. It was, metaphorically speaking, a gigantic lemon. If Godzilla and Mothra were warring limes...okay, I'll...

    This was the first fragrance that I tried from my Sample box from Ormonde Jayne as I felt from reading the compostions that I would like this fragrance the most. I will not lie, intially it was...

    The truest rendition of a fresh frangipani flower . I love this perfume. The lime top note really gives it that slight spice of a real frangipani flower. This is a long lasting ,well crafted...

    Delightful! This perfume opens with a heartlifting brightness, then dries down to a complex but completely beautiful floral. Quite often I get a whiff of chalk in the drydown too, as one might get...

    Love the top notes. Adore the heart notes. And the dry down is simply divine!! This scent is rich and lush without being too overwhelming and cloying. I have worn this for a whole week now...

    This is my least favorite of the sampler set. I generally like tropical florals. This one is very strong, which I don't necessarily mind. However, on me it gets a very "chemical". almost wet...

    Such a rich, full-bodied tropical floral scent! I definitely smell the real flower here but it doesn't exactly resemble the real flower, it's richer and deeper. I certainly will not call it a fresh...

    Probably the most citrusy scnet of the Ormonde Jayne line. Although I've just worn it a few times, it lasts only for a mere few hours before it wears off. How would I describe this scent? Probably...

    Well, I'm disappointed, I won't lie. Swapped my sample away, and so maybe this will prove in time to be like my Sarrasins mistake; swapping and then two months later desperately wanting to sniff...

    This is one gorgeous fragrance. Ormonde Jayne's Frangipani* strikes a beautifully perfect balance. It's lush, and you can smell those white flowers, but it's not cloying or too-sweet. It's creamy...

    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...

    I didn't expect to like this perfume, as I normally hate "tropical" scents and find them sickly and nauseating. In this case I was very pleasantly surprised - this scent is sweet and lush without...

    This one was Flower-y but not "perfumey" like Osmanthus. To me it was reminiscent at first of the American Eagle fragrance I used to wear when I was younger (Aura). This is much more of a "bouquet"...
