Tolu

Tolu by Ormonde Jayne is a refined, contemporary oriental fragrance featuring a bright herbal opening with clary sage, juniper, and orange blossom, which introduces a fresh, green contrast to the deep, balsamic core. The heart reveals a subtle harmony of white florals—lily-of-the-valley, rose, and orchid—woven through with warm, resinous amber and incense, creating a delicate yet persistent aroma. The base develops into a rich, warm, and slightly sweet blend of tolu balsam, tonka bean, and frankincense, offering a smooth, velvety texture that lingers on the skin with moderate sillage and solid longevity. The fragrance evolves with surprising depth, revealing an airy, radiant quality that feels both modern and timeless, akin to a luminous amber with a green, slightly soapy nuance. It balances warmth and freshness without leaning too heavily into sweetness, making it elegant and wearable across seasons, especially in autumn and winter. This is a perfume of sophistication, with an enduring presence that draws intrigue without being loud or overwhelming.
