Damask by Ormonde Jayne
Floral Woody Musk
Damask is an elegant powdery rose perfume with a fruity top. Interesting assets to Damask are added mineral notes in the base, which bring gunpowder feel-like quality to the mix. While there are spices or gourmand notes in some other rose-centric fragrances to make it stand out, there are mineral notes in Damask. And indeed, they set Damask apart from other rose compositions.
Although Damask has been designed for everyday wear, I cannot help the feeling this is an evening put-together fragrance. I picture a gorgeous lady in a long dark silk dress sipping a cocktail while waiting to be seated in a downtown fancy restaurant. She already has her dream man. She is not here to impress, just to enjoy the town, and a delicious meal with a company of her choice.
Damask is a great classic scent. Everyone should have a stylish rose frag on their shelve. Rose is the queen of flowers and I already have plenty of rose-dominant aromas in my wardrobe. Maybe therefore I am not totally in love with Damask but it is a pretty damn great perfume.
