Linda Pilkington, founder of Ormonde Jayne, says: "In creating Ormonde Jayne, my goal was to combine elements which I consider define true elegance: the quality of English craftmanship, the art of French perfumery and the sensuality and natural harmony of the Orient"

It may be intended for the sophisticated man who appreciates quality fragrances but Tres Lola loves and recommends Zizan: in the same way you might put a black leather biker jacket over a sassy floral mini dress, Zizan is the perfect scent for the spunky girl who desires a bold scent. Zizan as described by Ormonde Jayne:

"Zizan, a perfume like no other because it has everything a man could possibly want in a single spectacular scent. This is a powerhouse perfume. Expect a deluge of boisterous Sicilian lime, lemon and bergamot but to smooth the biting edge, a brilliantly refined concentration of vetiver ... Zizan belongs to the domain of the worldly, highly sophisticated and cultivated. It also belongs to the strategist - the man who knows how to seduce."
