My first whiff of Tolu is the stuff fragrance dreams are made of. We sniff and sniff looking for that moment of ecstasy when the body goes limp and images of rolling around in a scent prance...

First off, a disclaimer: i just received the nine vials of the OJ samples and have been sampling them very quickly. I know they require coming back several times and taking ones time in getting to...

I had the sample set of nine fragrances. So sad...I wanted to love the Ormonde Jayne line so badly. I'm really shocked to read the reviews here that Tolu was *too* spicy for some, because on...

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...

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 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...

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...

I am in awe of Linda, this scent's creator. She is nothing short of a genius. I'll go out on a limb here and say her fragrances are a bargain, because they immediately convey the creator's...

Tolu, how I love thee! This fragrance has narrowly bumped Bois des Iles out of my number one spot. Others have described it well already, so I'll simply say that this is a rich, womanly, unique...

It's usually the base notes I love most in a fragrance, so I was thrilled to find that in Tolu the bright, spicy notes of orange blossom, broom, juniper berry and sage were woven into the...

Oh, heaven... Gorgeous scent. Very unusual, very femme fatale. At first very resinous, then surprisingly floral, soft and ambery. It reminds me of SL Douce Amère, although the staying power of Tolu...

Spicy. Peppery. Warm and cool at the same time. Resiny. Lovely... <br>It's the scent of a woman assured of her charms, full of sensuality, with a mysterious aura and a dark undercurrent (do I...

Amazing. Just an amazing scent. It didn't smell like something I'd like but on the skin it just blossoms into a unique, intoxicating scent. Spicy and resinous, it becomes sweet and soft in the...

Tolu opens with a rich melange of resinous orange blossomy harmony. I sense the frankincense immediately. Then half an hour later, the frankincense retreats, and a grassy herbal sage envelopes the...

Rich, deep, resinous ambery scent. Starts with an extreme dominance of Tolu (which at first may make you think there is nothing else there). To those who are not familiar with the scent - it is a...

Exceptional. Sexy. Warm. Addictive. There is some common thread in the OJ scents that pulls you in and will not let you go. This scent is along the same lines of Hermes Ambre Narguile, FM Musc...

I am very glad to have branched out my typical taste in perfumes to more elegant woody scents, so this one came across my path. It is sophisticated, deep, barky, incensy, spiritual so I am...

Tolu was my first true impulse buy -- as in, the urge to buy it was concieved and executed in the span of approximately 5 minutes, and no, there was no skin testing involved. Amazingly enough...

This is destined to be a classic. Tolu is a perfect blend of herbs, florals and woods; captures what the fragrances of the 1980's attempted - the bold, sensual and beautiful personification of the...

When I first sniffed my wrist I did not get this fragrance at all. I thought it seemed very transparent, barely-there and not at all what I expected. I had told the maker of the fragrance, who also...
