Champaca by Ormonde Jayne is a floral fragrance for women and men that Geza Schoen launched in 2002. The composition opens with the bright freshness of bamboo and neroli, which cuts through the sweetness of pink pepper and champaca. As it settles, freesia and green tea add an unexpected green twist to the floral bouquet, while musk and myrrh ground the scent in a warm, woody base. This fragrance is not just about its individual notes but how they interplay, creating a dynamic yet balanced aroma that feels both fresh and intimate.

Application Tips
Champaca's top notes are vibrant but fleeting. Apply a generous spritz to ensure you catch their full impact before they give way to the heart and base notes. The fragrance blooms gradually on skin, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want an evolving scent experience.
