Ormonde Jayne Isfarkand was launched in 2005, created by the line's owner and founder, Linda Pilkington. Ormonde Jayne Isfarkand won Best Scent of the Year in 2006. It is a great men's scent with the lime adding interest to the peppery woods scent. Notes of lime, mandarin, bergamot, pink pepper, cedar, vetiver and moss.
From Basenotes - "I got a bottle of this some months ago and have found myself reaching for this quite often as the scent definitely blooms with body heat, in my tropical location. Isfarkand is very lightweight and bare. I am welcomed by very well-behaved, yet well represented lime and pepper notes that are not prickly or harsh. The moss and wood in the background take their time to surface non-abruptly, while being mellow and transparent at the same time, allowing the lime and pepper to remain detectable in the composition. Very uncomplicated, minimal and natural. No synthetic, sharp, overly-fresh opening; and no cheap-smelling woody base."
From Makeup Alley - "I bought this for my boyfriend and now everywhere we go he gets complimented on how he smells. He wears it every day and I for one and very pleased because it's absolutely divine...."

New to fragrance and a new Surrender to Chance customer. Saw this fragrance as part of the 'Beginning Men's Sampler' on offer and thought I'd try it out based on description. Out of the twenty-something samples I've tried so far, I really like this one! Classy, clean, lasts a good while. Agree with the previous review, it is a versatile fragrance. Happy I took a chance on it!
I will be buying a full 50ml bottle for my husband today. At first whiff of a sample, I felt the sense of being outside in a quiet woods (no clue why I picked up the woods first), then quiet elegance as the other notes developed. Perfect in that it can manage situations from business to formal, elegantly. Time of trial: midwinter.
