The quiet hum of an evening spent reading by candlelight, where the air is filled with whispers of incense and floral notes.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023, Ormonde Jayne's 1984 is a sophisticated blend that balances the freshness of pink pepper and black currant with the warmth of amber and vanilla. The fragrance opens with a burst of nutmeg and incense, creating an intriguing smoky aroma that adds depth to its composition. At its heart, rose and jasmine intertwine with musky undertones, resulting in a scent that is both floral and intimate.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to pulse points — it blooms slowly over time, allowing each layer to reveal itself gradually. Best for evenings or cooler days when its warmth can be fully appreciated.
