Tiare

I"d be very curious to see what Chanel 19, Ma Griffe and other green Chypre fans think of this scent. I like it. There is no 'bite' here, which is my typical problem with most greens. If you've ever rimmed your margarita glass with lime you'll know how this opens; refreshing, not sharp. I also get an 'orangish' smell well into the drydown, along with a more 'bitter' floral touch. Energetically fresh, tropical and oh-so-springtime. This is really special. My one complaint is that the longevity is not competitive for the price tag, IMO. I want 10-12 hours from this, and I"im only getting 5-6.

Your first hit with the lime which quickly dissipates for it to bloom with sweet yet fresh tiare flower backed up with the jasmine and neroli. Its not a harsh citrus as lime is not sharp and the orange adds some sweetness as well. Yes, i get a touch of vetiver and the moss which prevent it getting too sweet and add a soft earthiness. A touch of pepper to accent from the freesia note. Gorgeous fragrance that would be perfect in hot weather. Weak to moderate sillage and longevity but I am in a cool room and expect this would vanish in an hour in warm conditions

I thoroughly recommend buying Ormonde Jayne's Discovery Set & trying out each amazing scent. When I applied Tiare, I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. I loved how it developed. It was initially like Chanel's Cristalle... fresh, clean, green... but then developed into a prettier floral (but not heavy floral... a subtle breeze). It's basenotes were mellow & complementary. This scent makes me feel special & spritely! :)

This perfume is pure classy! It is so bright, chic and something is special. I really love Ormonde Jayne and appreciate Linda's perspective on perfumery!

Cool, classy and understated. This opens with a bit of fresh lime and a dry, beautiful tiare. The tiare is gardenia-like, but it is dry, subtle and tinged with green. This is not a tropical tiare or a screechy white floral. As the heart unfolds, there's an undercurrent of rounded orris with a little powder. I know orris is a prized, expensive, years-in-the-making perfumery ingredient, but I think I'm coming to the realization that it just isn't a fit for me. However, I do love the vetiver in this, it shades the perfume with a dry, reedy nuance that is both unexpected and delightful. Sillage is intimate, this is a fragrance you wear for yourself.

For the first two hours I find this elegant, tastefully musky, a little soapy, and a bit old fashioned for my tastes. It's hard to say what I am getting this vintage vibe from. Perhaps the oak moss or the orris root mixed with jasmine. My mind conjures up sophisticated evening garden party in the 1960's, MadMen style. Lovely, but not entirely my cup of tea. However, just as I had appreciated, but crossed it off my list of wants it transformed into a beautiful nectar-sweet floral scent with tiare twirling in the starlight wearing shimmery sequins. Love this dry down.

A non-tropical take on tiare, opens with a bright lime peel before venturing into a musky green-tinged tiare, like the leaves as opposed to the petals. Becomes woodier and dryer as it settles. Warm/hot weather, this is a summer-appropriate chypre. Projects better on skin than on clothes, definitely unisex.

I get a aldehydic musky chypre vibe

How can I have found my soulmate for a quarter century in Cristalle and yet despise everything about this fragrance which is supposed to be its younger, hotter sibling? Must be the close resemblance to Cristalle EdP which I believe has nothing to do with my original love. Luca Turin, shame on you for tricking me into a £ 80 blind buy.

Unisex (Leans male on my skin) woods, lime, Vetiver. No floral

Oh dear...yet another Ormonde Jayne fragrance that isn't tickling my fancy. This opens very green and zingy, the citrusses paired together with florals give this an indolic feel when it's first applied. eugh! I'm reminded of Gucci Envy slightly but this has a few undetones of something that's not to my taste, something isn't sitting right. This is a Chypre, yes..a very green one and the oakmoss hasn't really shown itself yet. I think it's the whole chypre composition that feel classic that is making my nose wrinkle. For the most part the sharp citruses are blasting away anything that's trying to take over. I'm gonna see how it fairs in the dry down. *goes away and waits* I'm happy to say that thankfully this perfume settles very nicely, it's the perfect balance between green, citrus & flowers. The indolic scariness has gone and it's now much more pleasant. It's kept a slight sharpness that seems to work. Although this perfume is named "Tiare" it is by no means the strongest note in the perfume, this is more about the orange blossom and citrussy greenness. Still not my personal style but I can see this being liked by fans of Chypre/Green perfumes.

Tiare is really a very beautifully crafted perfume. Although.. I have the same issue with all the OJ’s fragrances tried till now: the name prepares me to welcome a dominant note surrounded by the following smells that make the arrangement, the composition...The interpretation of the Dominant, in the artistic vision of a certain perfumer. That is what my brain expects to become, judging about the name of the perfume. Here the central note doesn’t dominate, it has to be discovered among the other different notes. Well, maybe this is only a trap of our mental patterns. If just smelled, with no relation to the name, the fragrance is absolutely gorgeous and well crafted. Till the moment Tiare, Frangipani are (I dare to say) love. Ormonde Woman and Tolu share my likes. The rest of them... Undecided. In this stage of development ( 1h 30′) it really has a lot in common with Cristalle. As more ofyou said :) It is, in a certain stage, vewry similar to Cristalle. Because I have a staple of Cristalle ant his cohort, I don’t think I need a FB, but it is delicious to smell my wrist every half minute. It is heartbrakingly beautiful.

I received this yesterday and I'm really loving it. Is like Linda took the best part of Cristalle, Diorissimo and Eau Sauvage and mixed then all together, creating an outstanding modern chypre. I brought Tiare unsniffed and I'm not sorry at all; what a pretty treasure.

I was hoping for something tropical. This is a refined, soapy, and green earthy floral. Very classy scent, with a Chanel vibe in the opening. As it dries down it becomes more unique, slightly less aldehydic, more citrusy with the florals and woodiness.

This is lighter more sophisticated version of OJ frangipani ...but this is slightly more feminish .. But of you don't have Frangipani I would suggest Tiara over that , but if you want strong projection then Frangipani .

I love perfumes and fragrances chypre and green sparkling. But I really liked this perfume. It is not too sweet, like most perfumes to tiaras, but it is very floral and delicate.

Cristalle with most of the "bite" removed. This is for you if you found Cristalle a bit on the abrasive side.

Suede, soap, moss ( a lot). A bit of elegant leather. It’s a chypre, don’t think to a sweet or beachy tiare.
