The tarpaulin is finally off the gorgeous new Louis Vuitton super store around the corner from the boutique on Bond Street. We have all been waiting patiently & have just over a week to go! The new flagship store will take over the Maison  and there will be three whole floors of Louis Vuitton!  We will wait till May 28th but I think there might be a bit of mayhem!

The lovely Alexia Inge from Cult Beauty came by for her Portrait and writes about it here and ended up loving the dark side of mysterious Ormonde Woman!   Mademoiselle Robot  another very stylish beauty blogger, fell for Tiare which seems to be the most popular amongst beauty editors at the moment.   It was great to meet Zara  Rabinowicz from Kiss & Make Up, a beauty & technology writer who loved Ta’if and the London Make Up Girl who was just great!

After reading about all these Perfume Portrait experiences don’t forget to book your own complimentary appointment!

Blindfolded in Ormonde Jayne

posted on May 12th, 2010 by ormonde jayne in Perfume

The innovative new way to choose your perfect Ormonde Jayne scent has finally been launched. After two years in the making and perfecting, Perfume Portraits is now available as a complimentary service in our flagship store in The Royal Arcade & the ground floor of Harrods in The Perfumery Hall.

We wanted to find an innovative way to help our customers choose their favourite scent without having to spray on 10 different scents on their wrists and at the same time, to look back to Ormonde Jayne’s heritage of bespoke perfumery. The art of bespoke is to try & find out which oils evoke a positive sensation so during the Perfume Portrait, we take our customers on a voyage of true discovery using exceptional oils to help find your signature scent.

 The Perfume Portrait focuses the mind by allowing you to take in the scents of individual raw ingredients which guide you on a sensual adventure. We have also now added a blindfold, not compulsory but definitely advised, while you smell your way through 21 raw ingredients. There are three raw ingredients for each of the seven perfume groups; light floral, intense floral, balsamic, hesperedic, atmospheric, woody and oriental.  The whole process takes no more than five minutes and we carefully note down all your likes and dislikes.
