It is
incredibly rare that I smell a new fragrance and fall head over heels in love
with it. Vanille d’Iris (£90) had me smitten from the first whiff. I even liked
it more when I had been wearing it for a couple of hours.
The
London-based perfume house Ormonde Jayne opened its doors in 2002 and has achieved
numerous accolades for the luxury range of perfumes created by the founder and
creator Linda Pilkington.
Linda’s
ethos is to fuse “the quality of English craftsmanship, the art of French
perfumery and the sensuality and natural harmony of the Orient" which she
defines as her definition of true elegance.
Vanille
d’Iris is a classy beauty. Soaked with the aphrodisiac Tahitian vanilla, this
scent is an elixir of Orris butter (an essential oil extracted from irises)
with a smattering of refreshing Sicilian bergamot and coriander seed on a
musky-tinged woody base.
This is a
stunning feminine fragrance that is a pleasure to wear. One squirt of this and
my mood is instantly enhanced.
