It has distinctly fewer fans than the others, I think. So glad you like it! It has distinctly fewer fans than the others, I think.

Now I'm wondering why I waited so long! I'll see how it wears throughout the day, but so far, it is love at first sniff. The citrusy opening is refreshing. OJ is the most consistently good line I've encountered so far; every scent has a quality and complexity to it, and and identity distinct from others in the line. As for Tolu, I've never been an Oriental fan, but it strikes me as the best Oriental I've ever tried. I'll use up my sample, but it's unlikely I'd ever puchase a FB of an Oriental scent.

I really do think Sampaquita is the only one that really doesn't interest me at all -- but I do know people who love it. You must try Ta'if! So glad you've fallen for the OJ line!

Her perfumes are unique, one of a kind and serve to draw you into their 'Iair', even if you aren't immediately sure of them. I currently own Ormonde Woman, and much to the chagrin of my now dwindling finances, I have Orris Noir and Champaca currently winging their way to prominent display areas waiting their arrival upon my dresser. I too adore Frangipani, but sadly it's fleeting on me. Osmanthus is definitely a pick-me-up frag..one which IMO could definitely be pulled off by the gents...I find it injects itself nicely into the unisex category. I am not normally fond of unisex scents, but this too has captured my attention in a mesmerizing manner. And yes, long lasting. Next to try for me will be Tolu, Ta'if and Sampaquita. And to think I used to be a mainstream girl! Once you go niche, you never go back! I am completely enamored by the house of Ormonde.

Osmanthus just dazzles me! It’s floral and citrusy and is amazingly fresh. After the herbal and citrus top notes, it emits more interesting aspects - I get jasmine and water lily, but still with a gorgeous citrus under current. And then settles beautifully with a vanilla and musk. More suited for the summer, I will definitely repurchase. Oh thank you Ormonde Jayne. Osmanthus just dazzles me!

Have you tried Parfum d'Empire Osmanthus Interdite? That is also lovely, and of course Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan. What I love about Osmanthus is how cheerful it is.

Up till now, I have tested this one, Champaca, Frangipani and Ormonde women. When I first smelt them, Osthmanthus did seem relatively bland, but now I can almost decided that if I am ever going to buy one OJ, it will be this one. It's much sweeter than any fragrance than I used to wear, but it's such a quiet unslicky kind of sweetness, I can't compare it to anything I have ever worn. Champaca was my instant favourite. But unfortunately my skin turns Champaca into tomato juice and I sadly could not wear it. I can see why Ormonde women is a favourite too. It is very rich but probably too rich for my liking. May be that's due to part of me wants to stay young. I like Frangipani, I love how the scent stays close to skin. It's such a true Frangipani scent. I thought I wouldn't like it cos I find the flower rather overpowering, and in fact, after wearing this for a day, I still have doubts if I wish to smell it every day, but I admire how distinguished it is from other fragrance in the market. have finally get around to test this.

However - last month when I visited Linda - I fell in love with this. It was a choice between this and Ta'if (as I have all the others) - I chose Osmanthus. This will be a perfect summer fragrance for very warm days in Paris. :) I did not like this too much at first – did find it rather linear.
