Ormonde Jayne Nawaf Zaffran is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Linda Pilkington. Nawaf Zaffran opens with Saffron and Pear, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil Or Nagarmotha, Iris, and Benzoin, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Mineral, and Amber. Ormonde Jayne's Nawaf Zaffran carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This saffron-leather blend is a truly divisive scent; some find it a sublime, cosy autumn dream, while others dismiss it as a dull, cash-grab zombie. You'll either adore its creamy, edible warmth or find it utterly forgettable.

About

Nawaf Zaffran opens with a vibrant, almost fruity saffron-pear burst that quickly settles into a rich, warm heart. Iris adds a powdery elegance, while cypriol and benzoin weave a complex, resinous tapestry. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of soft leather, earthy patchouli, and animalic musk, all sweetened by a creamy vanilla and underpinned by subtle mineral facets and amber depth. It's an oriental journey with a smooth, almost edible quality.
