Interesting and different….

I received a sample of the fragrance with a purchase from the souk.
Upon spraying, I notice a brief citrus opening, followed by a herbal-buttery scent. A bit like margarine. It somewhat reminds me of a medicinal ointment.
Overall, the impression is rather bright, but very creamy. It feels relatively dense, but not very loud. Beneath all the creaminess, there is something rough, unfortunately not further definable.

After about 15 minutes, it becomes noticeably rougher, but also floral.

Conclusion: the base is too weak for me. I briefly detected amber (after about 1 hour) and then it was gone. I don’t know if it’s my nose or my skin.

Very helpful Review 9

What’s that in the glass vase?

A delicate spring floral top note greets my nose, quickly becoming finely spicy and powdery. Then the scent reminds me of a cool daffodil, its freshly cut stem still dripping. In any case, something is in a cool glass vase. Then again, gentle spiciness. Very soft, understated. That’s how it stays with me.

A Friendly Request for a Little More Attention ;-)

How can you tell that far too many fragrances are flooding the market?
1. With a simple glance at the Parfumo database
2. With a quick look at your bank account
3. By the fact that a fragrance like Privé by Ormonde Jayne hardly gets any attention

Certainly, Ormonde Jayne has its loyal customer base that reorders but doesn’t talk much about it. It seems that customers also don’t place a high value on photographing perfume bottles or creating text lines about scent impressions.

The average Parfumo user in the wild, however, is searching, whether they want to or not, for the new, the better, the (yes, I have to say it) HOLY GRAIL OF FRAGRANCE ILLUMINATION.
Even new batches are infused with hopes and a lot of energy. Yes, even a perfume cellar for storing and aging the existing batches is rented.

Dear Parfumo community, I tell you: “We will find it, celebrate it, and worship it. Even if it’s the last thing we smell.”

For the statisticians among you:
Privé has been on the market since 2018
Ratings: 27
Statements: 7
Perfume photos: Until recently 0 (in words “Zero”)
Comments: 1

Really, folks? No, seriously. Other fragrances achieve this in a day! I explicitly mention no names here. I don’t want my inbox overflowing with new comments about you-know-who.

If I had to describe the opening, it would probably be Neroli, pepper, and the slightly floral side. Thankfully, none of these are really dominant. I can’t stand Neroli in the medium term, I don’t want to smell like pepper steak, and I have hay fever as well as a general aversion to too many white flowers.

In principle, however, it doesn’t make sense to list individual components, as the fragrance overall comes across as somewhat synthetic, yet incredibly well-groomed and cozy at the same time. Timbersilk and Ambroxan certainly have their tentacles in play here. Ah, synthetic? Who would have thought? It was Geza.

I enjoy eating basmati rice; it smells and tastes good. Here, it makes the scent profile, for me as a non-chemist, merely more tangible/describable. It’s already such a steamy-fresh-cozy representative of its fragrance category ;-)

The scent progression remains very consistent in its actual character, even though it initially appears brighter with floral tendencies and louder. However, this happens with some fragrances from OJ. As the saying goes: “The cow poops at the back.”

The stable scent profile may come across as somewhat monotonous to some. However, I really like it, as it is an absolute unisex everyday fragrance that should remain loyal to me and not change its olfactory appearance every 30 minutes. By the way, if anyone has smelled Timbersilk in its pure form, please let me know. That stuff must have been released by Maggi. Once you’ve cooked with it, you need retraining to be able to do without it.

That a fragrance is difficult to describe speaks for it and not necessarily against it. I at least hope to have directed your attention a bit towards it. This one simply has to be smelled and not just read about.
This feeling of having arrived and not wanting to test anymore is nonsense, but especially after a longer abstinence from Parfumo, one is simply satisfied and very appropriately scented with certain fragrances.

Perfect Unobtrusive Harmony - Skin Scent with Recognition Value

After receiving the fragrance from the sharing, I initially sprayed it cautiously on my wrist and wasn't immediately convinced, as I couldn't categorize the scent when applied so point-wise. In my impression, you really have to wear the fragrance to be able to judge it. So, I generously sprayed Privé today before heading into the city center (last Christmas shopping). The individual components are difficult for me to sniff out, and I don't want to fall into the rightly criticized pyramid writing here. For me, Privé is a completely harmonious composition of soft, unsweetened, and unobtrusive flowers, starting off somewhat citrusy, but neither bitter and sour, nor fruity and sweet, but simply light, unobtrusive, and floating. These two elements, the floral notes and the citrus, are connected in the most harmonious way by a component that is unfamiliar to me in fragrances: I think it is the scent of basmati rice. Honestly, I wouldn't have come to this note without the indication in the pyramid. But once pointed out, you can definitely smell this note and understand it. It is an extremely mild fragrance, without being sweet, powdery, creamy, or even gourmand. It makes the scent special, harmonious, gives substance, and creates a wonderful connection of the fragrance notes with the skin of the wearer (I perceive Privé as a distinctly feminine scent). Therefore, I referred to Privé in the title as a skin scent. However, this has nothing to do with animalistic skin scents; the fragrance retains a lightness and freshness until the dry down. A fragrance that emphasizes the personality of the wearer and, in my view, is always and everywhere wearable: Privé has the potential to be a signature scent. Sillage and longevity are in the medium range. I am extremely taken with this completely new and wonderful fragrance experience and would like to sincerely thank the organizer of the sharing!

Extremely beautiful citrus floral opening, followed by an intriguing rice note. Weak and short-lived.

Spring dances on soft notes, a delicate floral symphony,
Fresh, almost green and sweetly soft.
It touches my heart, softly creamy and fine.

Creamy, lightly floral but not too feminine. Typical OJ melt. An upscale everyday scent of a special kind. A joy to smell.

Classic, elegant, never too much. A creamy scent with class - summery, light, and suitable for everyday wear. My floral touch when nothing else works.
