Ormonde Jayne Privé is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Privé opens with Basmati Rice, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orris, Magnolia, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Ormonde Jayne's Privé carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a divisive one. Fans will laud its complex, green-floral artistry, while detractors may find the strong rice and coriander off-putting. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

About

Privé opens with a vibrant burst of citrus, dominated by bergamot and mandarin, swiftly followed by a unique, almost nutty basmati rice alongside peppery spices and green freshness. The heart is a sophisticated floral bouquet of osmanthus, jasmine, and gardenia, underpinned by aromatic clary sage and a touch of tart blackcurrant. The drydown settles into a soft, powdery musk with creamy vanilla sweetness and subtle sandalwood.
