# Ormonde Jayne Perfumes - British Niche Fragrances with Rare Ingredients
## The Story of Ormonde Jayne - British Perfumery Excellence Since 2000
Ormonde Jayne emerged from Linda Pilkington's passion for extraordinary scents. What began as candle-making in her kitchen evolved into one of Britain's most respected perfume houses. The name combines her middle name with the street where she lived - a personal touch that defines the brand to this day.
The brand revolutionized niche perfumery through rare ingredients like Black Hemlock absolute and oudh oil. In 2004, [Ormonde Man](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-ormonde-man) became one of the first Western fragrances to feature oudh. A year later, Pilkington removed all gender classifications - a visionary step toward unisex perfumery.
Ormonde Jayne's philosophy rests on three pillars: British craftsmanship, French perfumery art, and Oriental sensuality. All fragrances are created in their London laboratory, where oils mature for months before filtration. This method creates the characteristic depth and complexity of Ormonde Jayne fragrances.
Today, Linda Pilkington still personally leads her company. She travels to producers of rare materials and oversees every production step. This dedication to quality makes Ormonde Jayne one of the few perfume houses that remains completely family-owned.
## Ormonde Jayne Signature Collections and Masterpiece Fragrances
The Signature Collection forms Ormonde Jayne's heart. [Ormonde Woman](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-ormonde-woman) and [Ormonde Man](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-ormonde-man) both received five-star ratings in the renowned "Perfumes: The Guide." These masterpieces by perfumer Geza Schön showcase the innovative use of Black Hemlock - an ingredient few dare to use.
[Champaca](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-champaca) was the first Western fragrance to feature the Indian magnolia flower as its main note. The composition combines the creamy blossom with basmati rice and green tea - an unusual but brilliant combination. Ta'if celebrates the precious rose from Saudi Arabia with saffron.
The La Route de la Soie collection takes you on the historic Silk Road. [Damask](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-damask) combines Damask rose with fruity accents, while [Arabesque](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-arabesque) unfolds Oriental splendor with rose and jasmine absolute. [Kashmir](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-kashmir) from 2024 brings together Himalayan cedar and blue poppy.
The Intensivo line amplifies beloved compositions. [Montabaco Intensivo](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-montabaco-intensivo) and [Nawab of Oudh Intensivo](/perfume/ormonde-jayne-nawab-of-oudh-intensivo) offer more intense versions of the classics. You can test these extraordinary fragrances as samples before committing to full sizes.
