I suppose it is a matter of personal taste. I just adored most of them from the first sniff. But sorry if you wasted the money on a sample set. Of course, you've saved yourself a bundle by not needing any full bottles!!

Woe is me! I have tried the entire sample set of Ormonde Jayne and it left me perplexed. What is the attraction? Of all of them, I only liked the Isfarkand, liked, not loved. The Ormonde Woman is interesting, but not me. The Osmanthus, which I so very much looked forward to, having been stuck in an Osmanthus phase ever since I discovered TDC Osmanthus, is a strange citrusy mix that dries down to no-osmanthus. Throughout the line, a sour, citric tinge pervades. All of the florals (Champaca, Sampaquita ...) are nice, but not done in a way that made me constantly want to sniff my wrists and yearn for my very own bottle. Is something wrong with my nose? I am so un-enthralled with the whole Jayne Ormonde experiment. :( Alas! Woe is me! I have tried the entire sample set of Ormonde Jayne and it left me perplexed. What is the attraction?

I LOVE Ta'if, Ormonde and Sampaquita -- all very elegant and unique. I've found my Holy Grails. Robin, thanks so much for posting this.

But liking 5 out of 7 is really an amazing average. I can't think of any other line I rate that highly. Champaca is certainly not your typical gourmand!

After reading your informative interview, Robin, I have to say, I'm off to get my credit card to order the sample set. I must try these all! Thanks for a great post today.
