I would not have originally guessed this was a rose scent. On my friend, I thought it might be spicy iris. But once I knew it was rose, I ALWAYS smelled rose. On me, it went on as a dark rose,...

I am so thrilled to have found a niche perfume house (Ormonde Jayne) that has so many perfumes that resonate with me. Ormonde Jayne's Ta'if ("A Damascas Rose from Arabia") is quite pretty, but...

Sparkly and sharp opening, but the rose and the broom languish for lush and elegant staying power. The drydown works so well for me in all seasons. This fragrance reminds me of walking through a...

This perfume reminded me of something I haven't thought of in years, one of my grandmothers bathrooms! I mean this in a good way, my grandmother was very feminine unlike my tomboyish mother. She...

Sparkling if the first word that comes to mind for my first Ormonde Jayne. It's flirty; it's fun. It's fruity; it's bubbly. And yet it isn't a Britney Spears concoction, or even an Escada summer...

I tried this fragrance on a hot day and was unsure at the time whether or not I liked it. As with all of OJ fragrances one needs to let them settle. I have tried it a couple more times and decided...

Thank God for Ormonde Jayne perfumes. Unusual yet nor weird, challenging yet wearable, elegant yet contemporary. Ta'if starts as a happy, flirty perfume: fruity, especially peachy, quite sparkly....

Interesting, not what I would have guessed in the least. Immediately upon dabbing, I smell dry rose in the vein of Cabaret but w/o the sweetness, then I smell a dupe of Broadway Nite without the...

I pretty much love all of the Ormonde Jayne scents, but they are so different. This one is tarty and sassy. It smelled almost ordinary on the first spritz, but then it really was wonderful in the...

My perfect rose is a fruity, apricot/peach-tinted one, so I hoped this would be it. But on me, no peach! no date! just powdered rose and something that smells like dry dead leaves. A fragrance so...

This starts of a lovely rose and fresh peach. Then it shifts to a powdery, citrus rose. Finally it dries down to a fruity, saffron, amber/musk rose. However, the fruitiness is no longer peachy. ...

I have never written a review before, and I defer to all of you that can speak so eloquently about scent. I can't. But, here's what I can say...I have been a fan of Ormonde Jayne (Linda...

A gorgeous, most wearable rose fragrance that in no way smells old-fashioned or offensive. Yet another stunner from OJ that uses an over-used fragrance note (rose) and turns it into something...

Ta'if is an autumn rose; the blend of dates and saffron with Ta'if roses is smooth and rich - this is not a girly rose and it is unlike any other rose scent I have tried. The dates and saffron...

Ta'if is a wonderfully unique rose scent. It's a soft, lush, spicy rose that is in my mind powerfully and inextricably associated with memories of living and traveling in the Middle East. It is...

The most female scent I have ever smelled. Completely unique. I dislike florals on me, they always turn sour, headachy, and metallic. Today, the chilly mid fifty rainy June day, this dark haired...
