香水
南园春半踏青时,风和闻马嘶。青梅如豆柳如眉,日长蝴蝶飞。花露重,草烟低,人家帘幕垂。秋千慵困解罗衣,画梁双燕归。

| 双语版本的OJ桂花 |
很棒的桂花香,典型的Ormonde Jayne。 优点(Pros): 比较特别的桂花香。留香时间很长。 缺点(Cons): 如果你所寻找的是一款比较纯粹的桂花香,这一款可能会让你失望。 香调(Notes): 前调:柚子、印蒿、甜椒 让我想起(Reminds me of): 暂无。 官方描述(Designer's Description): “(桂花)是一种产自日本和中国的略带果香的白色的花。这款香水使用了日本的桂花精华,以柑橘调修饰,还加入了埃及药草,象是明媚春日里一束美丽的花束。是一款热情、清新但并不复杂的香水。” 使用次数(Number of times tested): 五次。 每次使用时喷多少下(Number of sprays applied for this review): 1-2下。 浓度(Fragrance Strength): 香水(Eau de Parfum)。 香调发展和层次(线性/平均/复杂)----Development ( Linear / Average / Complex): 前调是柑橘加一点药草(herb)香。Herb这个词不知道用什么确切的中文词表示,反正肯定不是我们中药中的药草那个概念,而应该是包括烹调、饮用、药用等多方面的草本植物。中调是桂花和树脂。在我的皮肤上,除了一点麝香以外基本感觉不到有基调。这款香水可以说比较线性,几乎没有明显的三调变化。 6-8小时。 浓烈程度(Sillage): Sillage这个词也不太好翻译。这个词不是英语词,而是法语中的“轨迹”的意思。但是在用英语评论香水时,这个词会被直接借用,大致是指浓烈的程度。 这一款桂花香的浓烈程度介于“平均”和“非常浓烈”之间。喷两下,两米以外的人就会注意到这款香水。 购买方式(Where Can I Buy It?): 选择1:Ormonde Jayne位于英国伦敦的唯一一家实体店铺。 50毫升的香精(Parfum)价格是112英镑,合人民币1750元左右;50毫升的香水(EDP)是58英镑,大约900元。 她家的香水只有香精和香水两种形式,没有Eau de Toilette或者Eau de Cologne产品。但是有沐浴产品线和家用香氛产品线。 包装(Note About the Packaging): 和其他大部分的香水沙龙品牌(niche brands)一样,所有Ormonde Jayne家的香水都用了同样的瓶子,而不是时装品牌香水的每款香水有各自不同的瓶子。 她家的香水瓶属于比较简洁现代的,但是也很优雅。我还喜欢她家的包装的标志性的颜色。 其他(The Bottom Line): (之所以首先写这一款香水,是因为香水中主要的桂花,是一种有着浓烈中国特色的花。桂花的原产地就是中国等东亚国家,即使在现代的欧美,似乎也不多见。 由于文化背景的不同,桂花这样的香材在香水中如何表达,中国消费者和欧美消费者是会有不同的理解的。) 桂花是中国大陆最常见的花之一。由于其开花的时间主要集中在秋天中的一个比较短的时期,也经常被看作是收获季节的一个标志。桂花的香气甜美,并带有果香,因此在中国被广泛应用于烹饪中(美食之国的特色),做菜、甜点、饮料(酒和茶)中都能看到桂花的身影。 但是,由于桂花的花很小,与玫瑰牡丹之类的花相比不够华丽,而且有时候香气会有些甜过头,所以也有人会觉得桂花是比较廉价不上档次的。在中国的传统文化中,桂花似乎从来没有与“优雅”、“高贵”或者“华丽”等词语挂钩。 由于有这样的文化背景,我对以桂花为主调的香水会有不同的理解:如果桂花的味道在一款香水中占据主要地位,闻起来可能有点感觉象是略嫌风骚的脂粉(我先写的是英文的香评,当时用的是sluttish这个词);如果减少桂花在香水中的分量,让玫瑰茉莉之类的唱主角,那么闻者则会忍不住说“这哪里是桂花嘛”。 有些朋友说Ormonde Jayne的这款Osmanthus是所有的桂花香水中最好的。我个人倒是觉得爱玛士的云南丹桂(Osmanthe Yunnan,Hermes)更能表达“真正的”(或者说“中国的”)桂花,让一贯极简主义的调香师Jean Claude Ellena来配置实在是非常合适。当然,我并不是说Ormonde Jayne的这款桂花不好----实际上,这款也是相当不错的。 这款香水的前调比较特别,有柚子和一点herb。几分钟以后,桂花开始发威了;在接下来的半个小时内,树脂也逐渐雄壮起来。整个的主调都始终是桂花和树脂交织在一起----桂花的香甜丰腴和树脂的丝丝烟熏气和清爽相得益彰(“清爽” 这个词本来用的是refreshing,并不是我们通常理解中的清新爽洁不紧绷,而更象是夏日里有点昏昏欲睡时在太阳穴抹点万金油的那种精神一振)。别的味道不太明显,只有一些睡莲带来的水调。 大约4-5个小时以后,能感觉到多了一点雪松,然后还有一些麝香,而桂花和树脂慢慢减弱。但是整体而言基调中仍然以桂花和树脂为主,只不过是从主调中的95%减到65%-70%这个样子。 Ormonde Jayne的桂花感觉更象是东南亚的桂花(如果那一带有桂花的话)。我不知道你是否你也有同样的感觉:和传统的花香/果香/东方等香水味道比起来,整个Ormonde Jayne的香水产品线更具异国风味----当然,是相对欧美国家的异国(远东、阿拉伯、非洲、南美等)。 个人评分(Rating): 8.5
Pros: Very unique and expressive among osmanthus scents. Good longevity. Cons:. If you are looking for a perfume in which only osmanthus plays the major part, you may be disappointed at this one. Notes: Top: Pomello, davana (sweet Egyptian herb), pimento; Heart: Osmanthus absolute, water lily and sambac (Indian Jasmine); Base: Cedarwood, labdanum resin, musk and vetiver Reminds me of: This one is so different from other osmanthus perfume. Designer's Description: “A fruity floral white flower from Japan and China. Like a deliciously crisp spring day, this uplifting creation with Japanese Osmanthus absolute is a beautifully composed bouquet of flowers, embellished with golden citrus notes. Layered on a bed of Egyptian sweet herbs, it is intense, fresh and yet uncomplicated.” Number of times tested: 5 Number of sprays applied for this review: 1-2 sprays. Fragrance Strength: Eau de Parfum Development: ( Linear / Average / Complex) It starts with a citrus/herbal top notes, and turns into a sparkling combination of osmanthus and labdanum. I can hardly find a base notes on my skin except a little musk. I would say it is linear to some extent. Sillage: (A Little / Average / A Lot) 2 sprays and the guy 2 meters away from you can notice it. Should be between “average” and “a lot”. Where Can I Buy It? Ormonde Jayne doesn’t have Eau de Toilette or Eau de Cologne products. Note About the Packaging: Like other niche brands, all OJ scents take standard bottles. The bottle looks concise, elegant and modern. I like its signature color of packaging too. The Bottom Line: Osmanthus is one of the most popular flowers in China. It is one symbol of harvest season since it blossoms in autumn. It is widely used in main course, dessert, wine and tea in China due to its sweet and fruity taste. But it is not surprising that someone may consider osmanthus a bit cheap because the flower is so small and the smell is sometimes overwhelmingly sweet. It is no chance of osmanthus to be linked with elegance or magnificence in Chinese culture. Because of that culture background, I have a different perception of osmanthus scents. If osmanthus is predominant in a certain perfume, it may smell a little sluttish; if something else, e.g., jasmine, is introduced to play a major role instead of osmanthus, then comes the question “where is osmanthus?”. Someone says OJ Osmanthus is the best among those osmanthus scents. In my opinion, Osmanthe Yunnan by Hermes is much better at representing the “real” (or you can say “Chinese”) osmanthus because Jean Claude Ellena plays his “less is beautiful” magic here again. However, I’m not telling you Ormonde Jayne Osmanthus is not a good perfume. In fact, I like it too. I find pomello and some herbal in top notes of OJ Osmanthus, which is very nice and unique. A few minutes later, a bunch of osmanthus starts to speak loud, and labdanum grows progressively in the next half hour. Then the combination of osmanthus and labdanum almost takes full control of the whole heart notes. Osmanthus is sweet and plumpy, and water lily brings some watery notes here. I also get a little smokey and refreshing, which should come from labdanum resin part. After 4-5 hours, cedar comes up, and osmanthus and labdanum resin go down smoothly. There is also a little musk at the base. OJ Osmanthus smells more like osmanthus in South-East Asia (if there is osmanthus). I am not sure if you have the same feeling with me about the whole Ormonde Jayne collections. Compared with traditional floral/fruit/oriental scents, most of OJ perfumes are somewhat exotic (Far East, Middle East, Africa, South America, etc.).
