I agree with you on the amount of sillage that should be present at work, so thanks for that. I think I will refrain from wearing it to work, or be really sparing with the amount. Dabbing a drop on wrists and that’s it. I notice wrist dabs wear off most quickly. Probably due to the amount of hand washing necessary in daily life.

And truly, I think anything can be worn to work if you are very careful. Tolu is rather strong, so I would tend to dab on a small amount rather than spraying…perhaps decant some into a vial for that purpose. Then find someone you trust at work, and ask if they can smell your perfume from a few feet away. IMHO, nobody should be able to smell your scent at work unless they’re VERY close to you.

Hi there. I know I am a little late here – ok, a LOT late (5 years!). Oh well!

ANYWAY, I received the sample pack from Ormonde Jayne and I am falling in love again. This is getting to be an expensive proposition.

I haven’t finished sampling but I’ve been struck by the magic in Tolu. I don’t think I have ever smelled anything like it and I cannot stop sniffing my wrist. I find it fascinating. I read above that you did not find it so and for some reason that makes me sad, even though I know not everyone will like everything. I know I will have to splurge for Tolu soon. It has wrapped it’s addicting tendrils around the neurons in my brain and now, I am done for.

I also really like Ta’if (is it really possible it smells juicy?) and Osmanthus. I will need Osmanthus (need?…ok!) for the Spring and Summer next year. I am undecided about Ta’if……now or later????? Then again, Woman is realy interesting. Oh, much too expensive. I think it is a blessing that Sampaquita, or was that Champaca, makes me sneeze like crazy.

But I do have a question to you – do you think Tolu is too “anything” for work, or should In keep it for my private life? I am still not good with judging sillage and stuff like that.
