Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Aruba ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 14 February 2025 Leave a Comment

British niche line Ormonde Jayne has launched Montabaco Aruba, a new flanker to 2012's Montabaco. The last in the series: Montabaco Rio.

Montabaco Aruba eau de parfum is Ormonde Jayne’s successful attempt at bottling sunshine. A homage to its namesake island, the fragrance opens with a floral bouquet of magnolia, jasmine, rose and violet, evoking tropical blooms. A comforting core is enhanced by radiant notes of bergamot, orange absolute and grapefruit, adding a zesty brightness reminiscent of sun-drenched citrus groves.

As the scent settles, deeper, captivating notes emerge; earthy, rich tobacco leaf and leather are delicately spiced with cardamom, creating a gripping blend. Finally, the signature ingredient, sandalore, rounds out the composition.

Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Aruba is available in 88 ml Eau de Parfum.
