Muscat Ormonde Jayne 2021

Many fragrances are advertised with the terms "oriental", "spicy", "market". A synthetic oud note mixed with something sweet and smoky is often enough to boost sales.

Not with this complex, well-balanced composition.

This is exactly how I imagine the Orient. Warmth, dates, cinnamon, rose and saffron. Like a sweet veil that is primarily feminine. I associate this head and rose note with something private, intimate, sensual and protective.
But then the heavy, smoky notes of the Orient come in. The masculine. The basis for the very good durability and sillage. Smoke, wood, spice. Heaviness and sweetness.

In combination and composition it is round, homogeneous. Ying and yang. Man and woman in consensual, sensual union. Yes, this fragrance clearly touches the emotional and skin level.

I myself would wear such fragrances in winter, but also very happily on hot days. Like all Orientals. Rather in a soothing atmosphere than in stressful everyday situations.

For me, this fragrance is on the same quality level as Interlude Man, but with different associations.

Masterpiece!
