FRAGRANCE | Montabaco Parfum by Ormonde Jayne: Tobacco made fresh, bright, and airy

The first and last time I wrote about a fragrance from this house was more than four years ago. That frag was Ormonde Jayne Sampaquita . We have quite a few bottles from this British house, so I guess I should wear them more and as such, post more about them. Let me start then with Montabaco Parfum , which is part of their The Four Corners of the Earth Collection . I understand there’s an EDP version of this and then Montabaco Intensivo  and a few other flankers but I haven’t tried any of those.

FRAGRANCE | Sampaquita EDP by Ormonde Jayne: The name can be misleading

We got Ormonde Jayne's Sampaquita because we thought it was nice to have a fragrance centered on the national flower of the Philippines. I'm confused, though, because it's always been sampaguita to me (with a "g" and not a "q") and not once have I come across any reference to it as how Ormonde Jayne spells it. Just the same, we went on with it.
