The verdict
Best for
Ormonde Jayne is a London-based niche perfumery known for a distinctive perfumer's palette, cardamom, oud, black hemlock, tolu balm, and a heavily unisex catalogue. The 19 live pieces on Scendira average .95, are almost exclusively unisex (17 of 19), and split evenly across Fresh (4), Gourmand (4), Woody (3), Warm & Amber (3). Prices span $124.99-$285 (average $174), solid niche-band. Standout live pieces: Nawab of Oudh Intensivo ($205.99,.59, green cardamom tea with rose and oud), Ormonde Elixir ($280,.24, smoky cedar oud with green florals and spiced haze), Montabaco ($226,.20, aromatic bergamot tea with tobacco suede), Arabesque ($149.09,.07, spicy berries and saffron on musky oud) and Tolu ($150,.06, floral-sweet incense glow with soft powder). The house is a considered choice for cardamom, tobacco-suede and oud tuned toward the aromatic-woody rather than the sweet-oriental.
