  1. What a pity this gem is running out. A pure 10: elegant, luxurious, complex, memorable, classic, unique, and with countless other virtues. This Ormonde Jayne made me feel incredible.

  2. I’ve already tried Ormonde Man, a green powerhouse and long-lasting scent that I loved instantly. But when I sought the next level from the house, Black Gold was absolute madness: it flooded my mind with an ineffable scent where nothing stands out separately; it is the whole ensemble. It lasts and projects without being a beast; the only drawback is the price. It is elegant and versatile, with just 2 or 3 sprays you have more than enough. Scent: 9.3, Longevity: 7.5, Projection: 7, Versatility: 7, Price: 4.
