Ormonde Man
Ormonde Man by Ormonde Jayne is a masculine-leaning eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with juniper berry, bergamot, pink pepper, cardamom and coriander, moves into oud and hemlock and dries down to vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Juniper Berry Gin, basically. Piney, dry and bracing.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Coriander Warm seed spice, slightly citrusy. A quiet workhorse.
Heart
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Hemlock Dark, damp conifer needles. Softer and greener than pine, like a forest after rain.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
