Geza Schoen

"Ormonde Woman EDP is one of Ormonde Jayne's defining creations and was launched in 2002. It is widely characterised as a mysterious woody-green fragrance built around the unusual use of black hemlock, paired with grass, soft florals, and a smooth woody-amber base. The fragrance opens with aromatic spice and green freshness before moving into a dusky, forest-like heart where violet and jasmine soften the coniferous shadow of hemlock. Its drydown emphasizes cedar, sandalwood, amber, and vetiver, giving it a refined and quietly sensual finish. Although marketed to women, many reviewers describe it as highly wearable for anyone who enjoys elegant green woods. It is also regarded as one of the house's signature scents and among its most acclaimed releases."

Reviews Summary

“Ormonde Woman is widely characterized as unusual, dark-green, woody, and unconventional. Black hemlock is its defining signature, while the dry woods, vetiver, amber, and balsamic qualities create a dusky and sophisticated impression. It is better suited to wearers seeking an artistic, mysterious woody fragrance than a sweet floral style.”
