The Story

Royal Nawaf, crafted by Linda Pilkington and launched in 2026, is a woody fragrance that balances bright citrus with sweet warmth. The composition opens with the zesty freshness of Blood Orange, which contrasts beautifully against the rich complexity of Black Iris and Lily of the Valley in the heart. This floral-woody blend transitions seamlessly into a base of Raspberry, Tonka Bean, and Patchouli, creating an enveloping sense of soft fruity warmth.

Application Tips

Apply Royal Nawaf in light layers as the base notes bloom gradually over time. The Blood Orange top note fades quickly, so a few sprays ensure that the rich woody warmth lingers throughout the day.

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.
