Ormonde Jayne Tsarina is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Geza Schoen. Tsarina opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Suede, Jasmine, Iris, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Ormonde Jayne's Tsarina carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This "royal" iris and suede blend is a curious mix. For some, it's a sophisticated, creamy dream; for others, a frustratingly fleeting and sometimes sour experience. A divisive luxury that demands a test drive before committing to the full bottle.

While some find Tsarina a softer scent, its depth and 'expensive' feel make it suitable for formal events and dates. However, the strong powdery and woody accords, combined with varying longevity reports, mean it's not an ideal everyday office scent or for sporty activities.

About

Tsarina opens with a zesty sparkle of mandarin and bergamot, given an unusual green herbal twist by redcurrant leaf and coriander. This quickly gives way to a powdery, almost cosmetic iris, mingling with soft, supple suede. Jasmine and freesia add a delicate floral touch, while the base deepens with creamy sandalwood, musky undertones, and a hint of sweet vanilla, all wrapped in a subtle, woody warmth.
