Royal Elixir

I received a sample of Ambre Royal by Ormonde Jayne and fell in love with the scent. Finding out there is an extrait version available, I simply had to have a full bottle. For me, this is the definition of what perfume should be. RE smells so glamorous and luxurious. The notes combine into an almost leathery vibe, reminiscent of an expensive couture designer handbag. It’s masterfully blended yet searching deeper I get the jasmine and orchid that lend a bitterness, and this is given texture by a powdery orris note. Lots of naturals here, it oozes quality. Performance is strong. Two squirts and I’m bubbled in an arm-length cloud of beauty which lasts for hours. It’s an addictive, sexy and intoxicating scent. It smells monied and leans slightly feminine to my nose, although my girlfriend wore it and found it too masculine for her taste. Follow me on Instagram: @TheScentiest I would wear this in the evening on dinner dates or dressed up for an event. But it would certainly work just as well for the office.

Wow!!!!! So so so sexy! This was an instant "gotta get a back up bottle" fragrance!!! It is just so beautiful and so elegant! It's white floral but not too white floral, it's amber but not too much amber and it's the perfect sprinkling of patchouli!!! If you're worried that it's going to be alien, fear not! This is leagues above alien!! If you're worried it's too indolic, have no fear! I can't see anyone not falling for this!!!

Arguably my favorite fragrance. It's perfect for every occasion. A nice balance of freshness with earthiness. I get florals, amber, powder, mint, and patchouli. For me it's the perfect clean fragrance. It has the perfect scent bubble. The spillage is godly and I've received compliments from 20 ft after it was caught in the wind. It lasts all day. It's just phenomenal. I hate that it was discontinued.

Update after a few months: Still mega awesome Super strong, smooth, potent Amazing scent on a few points. First off, note that it delivers on the Elxir front: it is VERY strong! The usual Ormonde Jayne are lighter while still having amazing longevity and a good projection but this is beyond that. :-) Globally, it is like Ormonde Man but much stronger.

Royal Elixir is a very elegant and refined scent. It's top notes of osmanthus and jasmine shine throughout the day. Followed by woody, flowery and green notes in the dry down. I spray a few times and I'm good for the rest of the day. Lasts and lasts on me. Can be worn in the day or nigh. Delicious!!
