Ormonde Jayne Babylonia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Linda Pilkington. Babylonia opens with Davana, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Orris, Violet, and Bellflower, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Praline. Ormonde Jayne's Babylonia carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's a divisive lush-store-in-a-bottle scent. Some find it a fruity, powdery delight with excellent performance; others call it a flat, generic, and even 'plastic' offering from a house known for better. Try before you commit, as your skin chemistry will play a major role here.

About

Babylonia opens with a bold, tart blackcurrant burst, softened by a whisper of bergamot and the spicy kick of pink pepper. As it settles, a sweet, powdery floral heart emerges, with violet and orris lending an elegant, almost cosmetic touch, uplifted by orange blossom. The dry down is a warm, musky vanilla with hints of praline sweetness and a smooth, amber-like benzoin base.
