Damask

Damask by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with blackcurrant, lemon and pear, moves into rose, jasmine and pink pepper and dries down to amber, musk and vetiver. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Blackcurrant Tart, dark and slightly catty. Adds bite to florals.
Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.

Dry-down

Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
