Indus

La Route de La Soie collection is a perfect entrance into the world of niche perfumery. Inspired by diversity - the fusion of cultures springing from the globalisation of humanity - we celebrate and explore the flora of the opiate pathway, an ancient journey stretching from Asia through uninterrupted deserts and over imposing mountains to the Occident. Native flowers, herbs and spice trees growing wild along changing terrain take centre stage in this showcase of vibrant perfumes. Like the merchants of the Silk Road, Ormonde Jayne introduces a fresh palate and gourmand notes, sparking a new form of self-expression for the modern world.

The original Egyptian geranium possesses such a heavenly exquisite scent. Harvested before dawn in mid-Spring, to preserve aroma and quality, this time-honoured ritual is witnessed by many as a moment of pure beauty and pride. Petite drops of blackcurrant bud backed by sweet amberesque lychee, plum, Indonesian patchouli – all in minute proportion – the very definition of finesse, the definition of perfection.
