History and inspiration
Verano is part of the recent Eau de Parfum additions to the Ormonde Jayne range, released in 2025. Its name is the Spanish word for summer, and the composition is conceived as a lighter, brighter reading of Montabaco, keeping the tobacco and suede of the original but lifting them with citrus and air.
It opens on a fresh, juicy accord of an air note, grapefruit, bergamot, juniper, orange, clary sage and cardamom, then turns to a soft heart of tea, violet, magnolia and rose. The base keeps the Montabaco signature with tobacco leaf, ambergris, Iso E Super, cashmeran, moss, suede and sandalwood, but in a more transparent form.
Olfactive profile
The signature of Verano is its balance of bright and warm. The grapefruit and citrus give a sunny, bitter lift, the tea and florals keep the heart soft, and the tobacco and suede base reads warm but airy rather than dense.
On skin it opens fresh and luminous, then settles into a transparent tobacco-suede warmth. It projects moderately and reads as a daytime, warm-weather take on the leather-tobacco idea.
