Ormonde Jayne 2006 EDP
Osmanthus
by Geza Schoen
Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006, created by Geza Schoen. Osmanthus opens with Pomelo, Allspice, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Jasmine, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Labdanum. Ormonde Jayne's Osmanthus carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.
This one's a divisive freshie. While many adore its sparkling, uplifting fruit-floral character, plenty of others reckon it's a generic, overpriced shampoo or men's shower gel. Try before you buy, as skin chemistry is a big factor here.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its clean, fresh, and moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, alongside casual day-to-day activities. While it has good longevity, it's not heavy enough for formal events but its sparkling nature could work for lighter date settings.
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.

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
