Ormonde Jayne Belle de Jour is a Parfum launched in 2024, created by Linda Pilkington.

Ormonde Jayne's Belle de Jour carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A tropical fruit bomb with a surprising leather kick - Belle de Jour is a divisive take on fruity florals. You'll either love its unique blend of sweet and edgy, or you'll be left wondering where the advertised fruit has gone.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Its fruity, tuberose and white floral composition leans towards spring and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The strong fruity and amber accords, particularly with the rumoured leather note, make this more suitable for evening or special occasions than a professional office setting. It's a confident, attention-grabbing scent perfect for a date night or formal event, but perhaps a bit much for casual wear.

About

Belle de Jour opens with a mouth-watering burst of blackcurrant and succulent papaya, brightened by a hint of bergamot. This vibrant fruitiness soon mellows into a heart of lush tuberose and delicate osmanthus, lending a creamy, exotic floralcy. The base grounds the sweetness with warm amber and smooth vanilla, while an unexpected undercurrent of patchouli gives it an intriguing depth.
