Ormonde Man is the first fragrance by the house of Ormonde which is addressed at men; signature fragrance by Ormonde Jayne.
The perfume is composed of rare components. Heart encompasses precious agarwood and Canadian balm (made of fir tree). A handful of spices, aromas of which wave in warm, bitter and fresh nuances are framed with wood in heart and base. Spices make the composition deeper and multi-dimensional.
The fragrance is available in Eau De Parfum (25%) in 50 ml flacon.
Flacon is simple, elegant and made of thick glass, while box is made in two colours – mandarin and ebony. The nose is Linda Pilkington. Ormonde Man was launched in 2004.

Base Notes
Starts out with lemon peel, vetiver, a little subtle spice, and some woody cedar and sandalwood-type notes. It’s more or less linear, although the citrus does disappear after a while and some musk appears an hour or so in and stays through the end. Sillage is moderate, but the scent will stick around all day, at least 8 hours.
It’s a discrete and fairly conservative scent that’s just barely on the masculine side of the aisle. It seems like it would be a good choice to wear in public situations where there may be people who don’t appreciate strong perfume. If you like woody vetiver scents, it’s certainly worth trying.
Initial review: I LOVE the green, green, freshly cut Kentucky Bluegrass/evergreen (is it the juniper berry followed with black hemlock coming through already?) opening on this! It brings back memories of high school days in Lexington. I keep wanting to smell it time after time. I wish the top lasted longer- it's so refreshing! Clean, pleasant, mild mid note of oude introduces itself soon afterward. Dry down is nice, but fairly non-descript to me. It is anticlimactic after the earlier phases, ebbing to just a skin scent far too early. Smooth, well-blended. Worth getting.
there is no word can describe it its very hard to find perfumes that have a dry woodey smokey elments sadly most of the perfumes are sickly sweet but armond man is not its very diffrent to me its smelles like arabin coffee and its realy realy good Cardamom and oud is well blended and the freshness of coriander gives it a sharp edge
My first impression was very positive; in the first 20 minutes I smelled lots of well blended dry spices and woods and thought I was in for a treat. Unfortunately, soon after that, the main body of the perfume seemed to thin out rapidly leaving behind a buzzing, high-pitched veneer of sneezy pepper and mentholated notes (somewhat reminiscent of the unlovable austere elements of French Lover and CDG Man 2).
I've always been addicted to men's fragrances. Back to 1995, I remember myself as a teenager in Brazil wearing Jean Paul Gaultier Le male, and feeling so much older than my generation. Nowadays I tend to buy perfumes which for one reason or another call my attention particularly to their unique styles. Ormonde Man was chosen for its rare components and for being a floral for men. I dragged myself to Ormonde Jayne shop in London and bought a bottle of it. Here we go, I am in love with it - smooth, complex and full of character. I tend to use Ormonde man for relaxing events.
Ormonde Man is a fantastic scent - fresh sweet fir tree kept from bitterness by the soft woods. Lively with spice (bordering on the memory of Old Spice - probably not the real thing). This could make any man smell like an outdoorsman. It's sort of like Christmas tree farm with hot spiced cider (minus the apple). Sillage is medium. It is so clean smelling that women could wear it.
