Arabesque

Ormonde Jayne Arabesque is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Arabesque opens with Blackcurrant, Pepper, Saffron, and Bergamot, and settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine. Ormonde Jayne's Arabesque carries an Acquired verdict, a rose-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.

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear projection and exceptional longevity, Arabesque is far too strong for office wear, potentially offending colleagues. Its powerful, sophisticated rose-oud profile, however, makes it an excellent choice for formal events and evening dates where it can truly shine without overwhelming the setting.

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.
