Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Woman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002, created by Geza Schoen. Ormonde Woman opens with Cardamom, Coriander, and Grass, settles into a heart of Black Hemlock, Jasmine, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Ormonde Jayne's Ormonde Woman carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

The archetype of the witchy-green chypre, Ormonde Woman is a forest in a bottle: enigmatic, quietly powerful, and utterly distinctive. A signature for those who prefer their beauty subtle and their presence unforgettable.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

The green coniferous opening and powdery woods evoke spring and autumnal forests, while the amber and sandalwood add warmth for cooler weather. It can be worn in winter, but is less ideal for hot summer heat, where it may feel too enveloping.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its subtle projection and elegant, wooded character make it ideal for office and everyday wear. The mysterious green-powdery signature suits introspective dates and quiet evenings, but it's more contemplative than overtly romantic or sporty.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Ormonde Woman opens with a burst of emerald grass and fresh spice, quickly deepening into the enigmatic shadow of black hemlock and cool, green woods. Violet and jasmine shimmer in the mist, lending a powdery, almost ethereal softness to the piney, resinous heart. As the scent settles, creamy sandalwood and golden amber add a warm, comforting undertone, while cedar and vetiver anchor the composition with dry, elegant depth. The effect is simultaneously airy and enveloping, like wandering through an enchanted forest at dusk. Unapologetically original, Ormonde Woman is both cerebral and sensuous: an icon of modern niche perfumery.
