The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Serge de Oliveira crafted Ormaie's 28 by infusing a bright citrus-aromatic opening with the rich warmth of tuberose and vanilla, creating a fragrance that balances freshness and sweetness. Launched in 2018, this composition starts with lemon, mandarin orange, and bergamot, which give way to floral heart notes like jasmine sambac and tuberose. The base notes of vanilla and sandalwood provide a comforting finish, making it a versatile scent for both day and night.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to ensure the tuberose and vanilla notes have enough time to develop. The citrus top notes are vibrant but short-lived, so the lasting warmth of the base will carry you throughout the day.
