Ormonde Jayne Bukhara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Linda Pilkington.

Divisive, but with a passionate following, Bukhara is a love it or hate it affair. Some find it a muddled, skin-scent disappointment, others laud it as an ethereal, fruity-floral masterpiece perfect for gatekeeping. Don't blind buy, but definitely sample this one.

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

Bukhara opens with a bright burst of juicy peach and tart blackcurrant, lifted by a touch of bergamot. This fruity introduction swiftly gives way to a lush heart of opulent white florals, with heady tuberose, elegant jasmine, and airy orange blossom taking centre stage. The dry down settles into a creamy, woody base where soft sandalwood and cedar mingle with warm amber and a comforting whisper of vanilla, creating a sophisticated and enduring presence.
