Frangipani

Frangipani by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with linden blossom, magnolia and lime, moves into frangipani, rose, tuberose, water lily, plum and orchid and dries down to amber, musk, cedarwood and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Linden Blossom Honeyed, green lime-tree flowers. Soft, summery and a little like tea.
Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.

Heart

Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
Water Lily Watery floral. Soft, cool and slightly green.
Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Orchid Creamy, sweet and slightly synthetic. A modern florals staple.

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.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
