Tolu by Ormonde Jayne is an enchanting Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men, launched in 2002. Created by the talented perfumer Geza Schoen, this scent is a celebration of sensual warmth and opulent depth, evoking the mysterious beauty of distant lands with every note.
The fragrance opens with a fresh, delicate blend of orange blossom, juniper, and clary sage. These top notes create an intriguing balance of sweetness and herbaceous freshness, setting the stage for a fragrance that is both uplifting and complex.
At the heart, the fragrance reveals a floral bouquet of orchid, rose, and lily-of-the-valley. The orchid adds a creamy, exotic richness, while the rose brings a timeless, romantic sweetness, and the lily-of-the-valley adds a fresh, slightly green note, creating a refined and elegant middle that feels both graceful and sophisticated.
The base is where Tolu balsam, amber, tonka bean, and olibanum come together to create a warm, resinous depth. The Tolu balsam imparts a rich, sweet, and slightly balsamic note that blends seamlessly with the smooth, comforting warmth of amber and tonka bean, while olibanum adds a smoky, resinous finish, enveloping the wearer in a rich, lasting scent.
