I received a package from the U.K. today, a sampler of perfumes from Ormonde Jayne. I've been very uninspired lately with regard to reviews (all the new perfumes coming out that I've tried leave me pretty cold, and I'm tired of writing reviews that say, basically, "Eh, whatever"). I'm really looking forward to do some reviews of these fragrances.

I will note that the packaging is extremely lush. The perfume came wrapped in an absolutely gorgeous subtly sparkly paper (dusky olive, with tiny gold flecks, really beautiful), in a beautiful rich black velvety pouch with a dusky olive satin lining. The entire presentation is just really luxurious and lush. I am hoping that the perfume is as delicious as the packaging.

So, tomorrow, I hope, I'll have some new perfume to write about (today I'm already wearing perfume, and I like to do a review with clean skin and a "fresh" nose).

I'd like to personally thank the nice people at Ormonde Jayne for this lovely sample set. As a perfume lover, I'm delighted, and as a perfume writer, I'm so so pleased to have something new to write about. Life is good.
