By the editors · 2 min readOrmonde Woman arrives green and cool — cardamom and dry grass opening into something unusual, almost medicinal, the kind of freshness found in deep shade rather than sunlit meadows. Jasmine and violet at the heart are muted, pressed flat by the woody resinous accord that dominates: sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar building something dark and close to the skin. Amber softens the base without sweetening it. This is a fragrance for those who find most florals too pretty — it wears as presence rather than perfume, occupying the space around the wearer with quiet authority. One of the more distinctive feminine compositions of the early 2000s.
