Ormonde Jayne Vanille des Afriques Intensivo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Linda Pilkington. Vanille des Afriques Intensivo opens with Jasmine, Orris, Magnolia, and Osmanthus, settles into a heart of Carrot Seeds, Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Ormonde Jayne's Vanille des Afriques Intensivo carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This one is a real divisive little number. Some adore its sophisticated, non-gourmand vanilla and iris blend, finding it beautifully understated. Others are left scratching their heads, detecting everything from bleach to band-aids. Test before you invest in this quiet chameleon.

About

Imagine stepping into a softly lit room where a delicate blend of powdery iris and vanilla hangs in the air. This isn't a sweet, dessert-like vanilla; instead, it's dry, airy, and nuanced, layered with the buttery smoothness of orris and the subtle freshness of osmanthus and jasmine. A whisper of pink pepper and coriander adds a gentle, refined spice, all underpinned by a clean musk and warm cedar, creating an elegant, second-skin scent that's often more iris-forward than vanillic.
