ORMONDE JAYNE DISCOVERY LAB FLORAL | ABSOLUTE | ABSTRACT

Beginning and ending with the unique scent of Black Hemlock absolute – rarely used in such luscious quality and quantity – this utterly hypnotic, unconventional and mysterious woody essence is combined with jasmine and violet absolute to create a dusky, seductive perfume.

Every breath of this fascinating perfume gathers pilgrims onto its long, beautiful journey.

Privé Eau de Parfum integrates itself into the wearer, opening the senses and creating a nostalgic experience. A complex formulation of the many favoured and private perfume oils of Ormonde Jayne – our DNA personified. Adorable hints of basmati rice and pink pepper, a luxurious heart of gardenia, magnolia and jasmine, all absolutes, all enveloping, creative and flattering.

I envisaged a perfume so dreamy and tenacious, not heavy but complex, Ambre Royal did not disappoint, becoming a much loved world-wide best seller. The Elixir release is left untouched but at extract strength, creating a ravishing perfume, purring and rich and even more hypnotic.

Osmanthus, but not entirely as you know it. It’s a new discovery, catapulting you into a sunny field of flowers embellished with intense citrus notes, crisp and mesmerising as illustrious as the original but more achingly profound.

Tolu, a Peruvian tree resin. Perfume treasure, this opulent velvety formulation with pure Tolu resin takes you on a sensual oriental journey. Laced with golden frankincense and amber, the scent’s core is enveloped with a heady mix of orange blossom and clary sage, while intense citrus notes consolidate the harmony.

Ta´if is an intoxicating and audacious rose scent from the town of Ta´if which sits above the shores of the Red sea and overlooks the Arabian desert. This perfume dislikes daylight preferring dusk, the night, parties, promises and assignations. It is an opulent composition which makes a bold entrance and is confident enough to sweep everyone else to one side – a real belle of the ball.

Champaca is a tiny pale orange flower from India.

Related to the magnolia and deemed sacred in the Indus Valley, Champaca flower absolute is a heavenly, creamy floral scent – both elegant and intimate. Blended with neroli and bamboo and underscored with fragrant rice and green tea notes, this is a distinguished perfume of rare beauty.
