Old money..
I discovered the Ormonde Jayne brand quite late in my perfume journey. But it has been around since 2000. It is probably the only brand I can say that I simply love. The brand has become "my" brand. The brand offers so many possibilities. For example, you can choose your own bottle, color of the bottle, intensity of the fragrance, engraving, etc., but you have to go to London and visit their beautiful boutique. I can recommend this to anyone spending a few days in London. An experience. Otherwise you can of course buy the perfumes online.
So far I have slowly tested a larger part of the Ormande Jayne perfumes and not a single one I didn't like. I like them all, of course some more than others but none of them I found bad. A super likeable brand where the perfumers go to great lengths to create exceptional fragrances, some inspired by Linda Pilkington's travels. The perfumes are created by Linda Pilkington and Geza Schön.
To the fragrance.
The fragrance is simply classy, so more classy is hardly possible. Its absolute uniqueness makes it very serious without being harsh and cold. The first notes I smell are coriander and bergamot. Very quickly, however, a very present suede note emerges, which reminds me of a light brown, super soft and very expensive suede jacket or bag. So soft and so classy. The fragrance simply smells like "old money" ... leather is actually often a nemesis for me, but with this fragrance I would really have to bow down. The scent remains soft and leathery for a while, until it becomes woodier and slightly floral and the suede withdraws a little without disappearing completely. In the drydown, iris, freesia and jasmine float elegantly over the fragrance like a cloud of powder and Hedion is probably the reason why I feel so drawn to this fragrance. In the base, there are a lot of light woody notes that smell simply heavenly.
The drydown is absolutely to die for. The bottle was a must have and already has a place on my shelf.
H+S very good without being overpowering.
