Ormonde Jayne Frangipani is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003, created by Geza Schoen. Frangipani opens with Lime, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Rose, Tuberose, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Ormonde Jayne's Frangipani carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Frangipani is a divisive one. Some adore its fresh, uplifting take on a tropical floral masterpiece, while others find it a screechy, synthetic imitation with woeful performance. Definitely try before you buy this one, mates.

Its fresh, clean and often subtle projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find it a bit too weak. The bright, casual floral nature makes it perfect for daytime casual wear and summer holidays, with many reviewers explicitly stating they wear it to these events. The lack of significant sillage and projection means it's less suited for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired.

About

Opens with a zesty, bright burst of lime, quickly ushering in a luminous floral heart. Frangipani, rose, and water lily swirl with a juicy hint of plum, creating a soft, tropical breeze. The drydown settles into a gentle whisper of musky amber and vanilla, grounded by subtle cedar. It's an airy, elegant take on a holiday floral, leaning fresh and dewy rather than overtly creamy or sunscreen-like.
