Tanger by Ormonde Jayne

I had a small sample of this one and went back and forth on if I wanted a larger size. I have never been someone who loves powdery notes. After finding myself pleasantly surprised by another powdery fragrance (Valaya Exclusif), I became more open to it. Tanger kept lingering in my mind as something I knew that I would love, if not now, in the next couple years. Seeing discussions online of it being discontinued, I went for a full size. I am so happy I did! Parfums de France is my absolute favorite place to buy fragrances. Everything is packaged beautifully and with care. I ordered this on a Saturday afternoon and received it Monday morning— I couldn’t believe it. Wonderful fragrance, spectacular ordering experience.

The initial spray smells like V05 hair grease. The dry down is better, but masculine leaning and the longevity is literally 5 minutes. Not a bad scent, but I definitely wasted $175.

Unique. Citrus yet smell tobacco and something dark musky. Slightly feminine
