Ormonde Jayne Arabesque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Arabesque opens with Bergamot, Pepper, Saffron, and Blackcurrant, and settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine. It lasts about 6 to 10 hours on skin, fills a room and is best in autumn. Ormonde Jayne's Arabesque carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and unapologetically potent, Arabesque is Ormonde Jayne's take on the classic rose-oud combo. Some find it a beautifully balanced, enduring powerhouse, but for others, it's an overpowering floral assault that's far from unique and can be genuinely off-putting. Sample before you commit to this beast.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Arabesque opens with a bold, spicy kick of saffron and pepper, brightened by juicy blackcurrant and a hint of bergamot. The heart blooms into a dominant, rich rose entwined with jasmine, quickly giving way to a powerful, earthy oud and patchouli base. This is a deep, long-lasting scent that leans into its Middle Eastern inspiration with an almost medicinal, woody presence.
