The Story

Launched in 2022 by Ormonde Jayne and crafted by Linda Pilkington, Gold Elixir is a warm and spicy oriental floral that invites you into its complex embrace. The fragrance opens with the bright zing of Calabrian bergamot and black pepper, which quickly gives way to the rich, velvety notes of rose and jasmine. Saffron adds an unexpected metallic sheen, while patchouli and moss provide a grounding earthiness. The musky base, infused with vanilla bean, ensures that Gold Elixir leaves a lasting impression.

Application Tips

Gold Elixir is best applied to pulse points for a longer-lasting effect. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, but the rose and patchouli heart notes carry through the day. For a more intimate scent experience, layer it with a musk-based body lotion.

Linda Pilkington portrait

Linda Pilkington grew up in Cheshire, England, and spent fourteen years in Brazil running a soya bean farm and an ice-cream business before returning to London. A friend's request for a quality scented candle led her into perfumery; when that friend, who worked for Chanel, commissioned a candle, orders grew quickly and she founded the niche house Ormonde Jayne in 2000, named for the road she lived on and her middle name. Her fragrances, created with Geza Schoen, are known for unusual ingredients drawn from her travels.
