Ormonde Jayne Qi is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Geza Schoen. Qi opens with Lemon Blossom, Neroli, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Osmanthus, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Mate, Musk, Oakmoss, and Benzoin. Ormonde Jayne's Qi carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Qi is a divisive, understated tea and osmanthus scent. Some find it a calming, elegant masterpiece, while others are baffled by its chemical undertones or weak performance. Sample first, definitely, unless you fancy a luxurious gamble.

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh, delicate nature and often subdued sillage make it perfect for office wear. While potentially too subtle for a strong impression on a date, it works well for casual and semi-formal settings. The 'zen' and 'spa-like' qualities noted by reviewers suggest it's also a good choice for light activity.

About

A fresh, floral-green composition where bright lemon blossom and neroli give way to a delicate heart of osmanthus and tea, accented by soft rose and violet. The drydown settles into a subtle musk, oakmoss, and mate, lending an earthy depth to the ethereal floral transparency. It's a natural-smelling, subtly sweet tea ceremony on your skin.
