Montabaco Verano by Ormonde Jayne to the back of my hand and carefully study the bright azure blue bottle with its transition to a dramatic golden hue in the base and silver cap, my mind swirls and I envisage three distinct thoughts that roll into one. The painting, ‘A Bigger Splash’ by David Hockney, the hill town of Matera in the most recent James Bond film ‘No Time to Die’ and the background music of Maluma’s ‘Felices Los 4’.
The first day of Spring will be Sunday March 20th, 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere. These past few months (and weeks) have shaken us to our very core, but spring is the season of hope, of renewal. The Best fragrances for Spring 2022 all have a common theme; they are uplifting and serene florals and bright citruses.
The key to Ormonde Jayne Montabaco Verano is the opening. The grapefruit note is done incredibly, which brings such a freshness and uplifting quality that one instantly feels positively awakened. The blending of complex ingredients that gives the impression of simplicity is a triumph. Montabaco Verano is a slow fragrance that unfurls its secrets steadily, but, with intent. The notes breathe life into one’s day and this is a moment in time to savour.
