The polished wooden surface of a performance stage before it begins, the captivating aroma of a Steinway & Sons piano, paired with the shine of the dancers’ waxed ballet shoes, are what you should imagine while you’re enjoying the initial whiffs of Ormaie Toi Toi Toi. The title is a German expression of the dancers wishing good luck before they step onto the stage in front of the audience.
The perfume is a vanilla-optimized perfume, but not another gourmand one. It is a mere woody perfume that uncorks with a hefty dose of incense (majorly myrrh) and black pepper, which amplifies the woodiness of the smoke. Yet, thanks to the milky sandalwood, earthy and plush patchouli, vanilla, and a precise touch of cedarwood, the initial impression is pretty rounded, as these elements prevent the composition from leaning towards dryness.
Toi Toi Toi is a clash of different shades of woodiness. One is dry and crisp like a timber from the ceiling of an old chapel, one other is creamy and luxurious, and the other one is dark and mysterious like a treasure from ancient Mesopotamia. The result of such compilation is a perfume that promises from the very beginning.
It’s an effortless luxury, classy, artistic, and unique, and a special edition creation, with a good performance on the skin without overpowering, without pushing the boundaries.
Its soft performance and its controlled longevity and sillage give it the ability to match almost any ambiance. However, the scent is way beyond daily use.
