Ormonde Jayne

[Evbo]

After seeing multiple posts from certain gents repeatedly using & praising Ormonde Jayne Man (*cough*Henry*cough*), I thought, that's it. I need to check this stuff out for myself.

Alas, after fruitless visits to Saks (Ormonde-what? Huh?), Bergdorf's (Or-man June? Can you say that again, please?) & Barney's (Ormonde Jayne? No, I think they're Europe-only), I found out that they're exclusively London-based. The only way to sample their fragrances is either at their store or via the sampler pack from their website.

Alternatively, you can also order samples from TPC. However, the cost of 5-6 1.5ml samples in glass atomizers (~$52) was very close to the cost of the entire sampler kit (£44/$74). Since the sampler kit contains 2ml atomizers of all 12 of their fragrances, that seemed to be the best deal. I realize most of their frags are for women but that's ok. I'm curious to sniff those too, even if I don't plan to wear them.

Anyway, I figured I'd throw this info out there in case any of you guys are curious about this company. Will post my impressions once I receive the goods. :thumbup1:

Let me know if you try it. I've been tempted by that one.

Some have said it's somewhat similar to Clive Christian X for Men.

Sounds interesting, however I think I'd be more inclined to go with the Pick 3 OJ sampler pack from TPC for $16.99 :thumbup1:

But again, I'd really only be interested in sniffing Man, Zizan, and Isfarkand.

Those are also on my wish list at TPC...so eager to hear your opinions on them once you receive everything!

Evbo, did they quote you a delivery window coming from across the pond?

Enjoy! Most of the woman's frags aren't terribly girly. The most feminine thing about Ormande Woman is its name; it is not quite like soaking yourself down in Chanel No. 5. It may be the most interesting of the line.

Shipping from London is pretty quick and the packaging top notch (not that it makes the frags better but it is a nice touch).

Let us know what you think of them.

+1 - I love OJ's fragrances. Linda has done a wonderful job. With spring & summer here OJ Man & Zizan will be getting lots of use! I can't wait to hear you thoughts.

I wrote them an email about a year ago and they sent me two sample vials for free. Isfarkand and Ormonde Man. Pretty good but don't think I would buy a whole bottle of it. Very strong....a little goes a long way and lasts forever.
