Tanger
Tanger by Ormonde Jayne is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ylang-ylang, mandarin and bergamot, moves into rose, cashmeran and neroli and dries down to oakmoss, amber and vanilla. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
