What does Ormonde Woman (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Coriander, grass and cardamom give it a spicy, green start. At the heart, jasmine absolute, violet absolute and Canadian hemlock absolute carry the floral side, while vetiver, sandalwood, cedarwood and amber settle into a woody, resinous base.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and spring, and daily, leisure and business wear lead the occasions. More voters find it feminine than masculine, though a fair share see it as masculine. Ormonde Jayne Ormonde Elixir and Heeley Cèdre Blanc have a close profile.
