Evernia Ormonde Jayne 2021 Eau de Parfum

... then the song remake for this fragrance would be "The Fat Clove." Admittedly, a somewhat flat start for a review, but the 80s small-town kids among you know what I'm talking about.
'Fat Clove' is the first thing that comes to mind when applying this fragrance, as the spice is, in my opinion, the most dominant top note, even though it is not listed in the entire pyramid. Looking at the listed notes, one expects a complex, versatile scent, but the clove remains until the end.

"I hear you calling me a philistine," you say, "who can't tell clove from cardamom!" I allow myself to disagree here, because even though cardamom is indeed listed, I smell nothing of it. Besides the clove, I perceive a bit of rose, and there is definitely something from the Erlenmeyer flask in there too.

Whether one likes the mentioned spice or not is up to each individual, but the fragrance develops into a spicy charmer with good longevity that becomes increasingly softer over time. However, in the 'walk-past-me-in-the-hall-and-tell-me-if-you-smell-something' test, Evernia unfortunately failed. On me (blonde and with dry skin), the scent quickly becomes skin-close, and due to the mediocre sillage, it doesn't earn a permanent place in my perfume cabinet.
