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, Iris, Violet, and Bellflower, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin, and Praline. Ormonde Jayne's Babylonia carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
