The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023, 1909 by Ormonde Jayne is a Woody fragrance that seamlessly blends the freshness of citrus with the warmth of spices and woods. The opening notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, and bergamot create a bright, invigorating start, while cardamom adds a subtle spiciness that cuts through the sweetness. As it evolves, sandalwood and suede introduce a rich, leathery depth, grounded by labdanum and amber. This composition is both modern and lasting, capturing the essence of Ormonde Jayne's commitment to elegance.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow the fragrance to settle for about an hour before reapplying if you want more of the woody and leathery base notes to shine through.
