Drawing inspiration from the enigmatic wonders of the Middle East, "ARABESQUE" is more than just a scent; it's an experience. The fragrance mirrors the intricate designs found in Islamic art, weaving an intricate tapestry of flowers, fruits, and woods. It's a homage, a love letter, and an open invitation to explore the lands where tradition and modernity coexist in harmonious rhythm.
As you uncap the bottle, you're greeted with a top note that is nothing short of vivacious. The zesty burst of blackcurrant dances gracefully with the sun-soaked Italian bergamot. Add a hint of the fieriness of black pepper, and you have an opening that is as effervescent as it is evocative. But just as in any narrative worth its salt, there's an unexpected twist – the whisper of saffron, adding depth and allure.
The heart of the fragrance blooms like a midnight desert flower, delicate yet profound. Jasmine and rose absolutes unfurl, painting the air with their rich, intoxicating sweetness. Their presence is an olfactory ballet, seamlessly choreographed to evoke a deep sense of well-being and serenity.
But, like the mysterious tales of Scheherazade, the story doesn’t end there. Delving deeper, the base reveals a symphony of scents that anchor the entire experience. The velvety musk, the earthy moss, the robust patchouli, and the enigmatic Oudh come together to form a foundation as timeless as the tales of the Arabian Nights themselves.

In the words of the perfumers themselves, "ARABESQUE" is sultry, intricate, and mesmerising. This fragrance doesn't merely sit on the skin; it melds with it, becoming an intimate part of one's narrative. Belonging to the Amberesque/Floral fragrance family, this scent is a testament to Ormonde Jayne London's legacy of crafting fragrances that aren't just remembered but revered.
Are you ready to journey through the deserts, to dance under the starry night, and to be enchanted by tales as old as time? "ARABESQUE" isn't just a fragrance; it's an adventure waiting to be had.
