Ormonde Jayne True Love is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Geza Schoen. True Love opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Freesia, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Orris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Castoreum. Ormonde Jayne's True Love carries an Acquired verdict, a iris-led wear.

This is a masterpiece that evokes deep self-love. For those who adore iris and honey with a waxy, powdery, slightly animalic twist, it's utter bliss. But be warned, some noses find the castoreum to be an unbearable 'wet wool' or 'industrial soap' horror.

About

True Love opens with a burst of bright mandarin and pink pepper, quickly giving way to a rich, waxy iris heart. Honeyed jasmine and delicate rose weave through the powdery florals, creating a plush, elegant core. The base grounds it with warm sandalwood, cashmere wood, and a subtle yet present animalic castoreum that some find musky and comforting, while others perceive it as challenging and off-putting.
