The story behind the bottle.
Arabesque by Ormonde Jayne is a Floral Fruity fragrance launched in 2023. This composition begins with the vibrant freshness of saffron and black currant, creating an immediate burst of energy. The heart of rose and jasmine adds depth and sweetness, while the base notes of oud, patchouli, moss, and musk bring a rich earthiness that grounds the fragrance. Arabesque is a blend of warmth and complexity, making it suitable for both women and men who appreciate a scent that evolves throughout the day.
Apply Arabesque in a thin layer for a subtle yet long-lasting effect. The opening saffron and black currant are bright but fade quickly, so it's best to wait an hour or two before reapplying if you want the woody and earthy base notes to shine through.
