Zizan Ormonde Jayne for men

I smell strong and peppery citrus, herbs, and woods on first spray, very crisp, assertive and pleasant. There’s a harsh, synthetic, teak-like note in the base, but it’s not strong enough to be obnoxious. It seems to be one of the typical markers of a “man’s” fragrance, and I’ve gradually made my peace with it, so can ignore it enough to integrate it into the big picture.

I tried Zizan after sampling a couple of unusually wimpy EdTs, and the contrast is amazing. There’s no comparison between the clear and well-defined scent of Zizan and the lifeless, ambiguous, timid scent of the other two. Sillage is moderate, and longevity is excellent. After 4-5 hours the musky base takes over and persists for at least 4-5 hours more. As a woman, I would (and will) wear this with no hesitation. It’s definitely not for those who love only fruity-florals and sweet gourmands, but if you like woods and herbal notes, it’s a must-try.

i really dig zizan. after shopping around london last week, this was one of my most rewarding purchases (along with coromandel & leather oud). how can you go wrong with an all-season, macho green citrus bonded to a sturdy, focused vetiver heart?
sure it's redolent of other frags, but has strictly its own identity. great longevity and an ebullient, if moderate sillage. a very upbeat & well-constructed MAN'S frag (really didn't jive with OJ isfarkand, even less so with OJ man. tolu was inneresting...)
zizan deserves more love! 8/10

Its a classic cologne scent thats been modernized. Love this particular Vetiver scent, it may be up there with my absolute favorite vetiver scent, Sycomore.

luv the vetiver notes there

I'm not wild about this.

There's a nice bit of lime upfront in the first few minutes before it settles down to fairly boring, sedate floral middle accord of jasmine and violet. The savory base is very light and hardly worth mentioning. It's all spiced up with colossal amounts of raw pepper (which seems to be the Ormande Jayne house style as far as the masculines are concerned).

I don't think men are going to form a queue to buy this one.

Me gustó bastante... se nota la diferencia a cualquier fragancia vulgar.-

Buean fijación

The latest masculine offering from Ormonde Jayne, Zizan features perfumer Linda Pilkington's by-now signature crisp, herbal overtones, and rich, dry ambery undertones. The peppery beginning is frustratingly fleeting, but the floral midpoint is quite pretty, and renders this scent quite wearable for women. While overall not as breathtakingly original as Ormonde Man, Zizan is clearly another quality offering from this most impressive British parfumerie.
