    Foody(?) in the most unusual sense. If I didn't read it had basmati rice notes I'd say it has notes of chips cooked in corn-oil: that sense of vapour rising which you catch from afar. Sorry if I am...

    I cannot believe how much of an aberration my experience is. Alas, on my skin, Champaca throbs as a bamboo focused floral with a premature surfacing of musky tea. The end result on my skin is...

    Oh Champaca, Champaca, how much I wanted to love you. I read your notes - they sounded wonderful. I went to the shop - it was beautiful. I sprayed you on a card - it smelled delicious. I put you on...

    Like most Ormonde Jayne fragrances, Champaca has a distinctiveness that I've not found in other lines. On my skin, this goes on sharp and citrus at first. To be honest, on first blast, I was not...

    This smells so unusual and amazing in my sample vial, but becomes very simple and flat on my skin. This is probably a fault of my chemistry. I get something spicy for a couple of minutes and then...

    Oh Champaca, why are you so pretty? And why is the pound-to-dollar ratio so low?? This is a gorgeous, unusual, unique scent that I adore. I smell the lovely softness of baasmati rice, green tea...

    I want to love this so much.... but it doesn't love me back. We're happy together at the start, but then all I get is pink pepper, stinging my nose and smelling BAD and (sorry) bo-ish. Tragic. I...

    The exotic, tea-like champaca notes remain true to the original throughout the composition. Accompanied by basmati rice, the champaca-basmati-tea accord is prominent throughout the fragrance...

    Went straight to the top of the charts the moment I tried it. Lovely creamy floral done in the unique Ormonde Jayne style, a la Linda. It's heavenly, inviting, and sophisticated. I can't wait to...

    This is a stunningly composed fragrance. Both fresh and warm on me, which is really unusual. It also has a lovely soft and lasting mint note that didn't appear for me until some time had gone by,...

    Too bad I had forsaken the notion of finding that one holy grail perfume, otherwise Champaca would've been it for me. This is the closest to a holy grail perfume that I've found. I really don't get...

    I was looking for a signature scent and thought Champaca sounded like a good match. I ordered a sample from Ormonde Jayne. I am 30, wear very little makeup, adore Asian food/decor; this might give...

    I'm giving this 4 lippies because it is incredibly unique and stunning in it's originality. That said, thankfully, this will not contribute to my depleted bank account. I am not going to go on and...

    I think this is a good first impression for me of Ormonde Jayne. While I find it to be enjoyable, on my skin it is a primary composition of neroli, green tea and basmati rice, which can become a...

    This curious white floral with notes of mint and basmati gives the impression of exotic flowering trees going to seed, heady and somehow reproductive, for lack of a better word. This perfume...

    And so, trusting to the kind MUA people who have so far been very true to my own tastes, I ordered a bottle of this sight unsmelled, thinking that at least I'd be able to give this as a gift if I...

    I'm exhausted from swimming upstream. I'm both relieved and dismayed that this didn't work for me. On the one hand, it's one more pricey lemming that I just didn't need, and on the other...

    Another 5-star fragrance from Ormonde Jayne, so different from my beloved Ormonde, yet equally compelling in its own way. Champaca is the laughing, sparkly-eyed honeyblonde to Ormonde's...
