New Ormonde Jayne Damask

Damask is a fruity, floral, warm scent created for Men and Women in 2020.

Review

This scent is Rosy right from the beginning. It doesn’t feel particularly jammy or spicy, but has a sweet and sparkly quality that comes from a blend of Blackcurrant, Pear, and Lemon. Warm notes of Amber and Musk give this scent depth. While it has a lingering sweetness, it warms over time and can be worn by anyone who loves Rose. It is great for any time, place, or occasion, is safe for the office, and will last for hours on the skin. While it is suitable for all seasons, it has a great cold weather vibe. It has been compared to Stella McCartney and YSL Blouse.

Inspiration

Damask is inspired by the Damascene Rose(Damascena Rose or Damask Rose), and the land from which it came…Damascus, Syria, once ancient Mesopotamia.

Notes

The Rose is prominent through each layer of this fragrance. A sweet and creamy vibe is brought on by the fruity nuances of Blackcurrant and Pear, with a gentle brightness from Lemon. The sultry essence of Jasmine gives a boost to the Rose without overdoing it. Amber brings a creamy warmth to the base of this scent while Musk adds a gentle sultry touch. Vetiver adds just the right amount of woodiness that breaks up the sweetness as the scent dries down.
