Isfarkand is celebrating its fourth birthday this year and we can now announce its younger brother! Work has been under way over the last year to formulate a Shampoo and Body Wash for men to compliment Isfarkand’s Eau de Parfum and I am over the moon with the final version which is now on the shelves!

Like the Bathing Range, it is free of parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oils, sulphates and GM ingredients and colourings but will leave your hair & body smelling of Isfarkand all day (you will be shooing the hoards of girls away!)

Isfarkand has a strong following from all over the world including my husband, and soon after it was first launched, it won Wallpaper* Magazine’s Best Scent of the Year Award which was a sterling reason to make merry and open lots of champagne at the boutique – yet another benefit of shopping at Ormonde Jayne!

One of its admirers visited the boutique recently and makes a pilgrimage to London from Scotland solely to buy Isfarkand. He also travels to Paris for his haircuts and is a most distinctive character!  Another fan is Will Smith who either visits Ormonde Jayne with his gorgeous wife or sends the Concierge of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to us with a long shopping list! Whenever he does the former he tends to leave the staff with a far-away look.

David Coverdale of Whitesnake was recently in London and stopped in to counterbalance the loss of his wife’s baggage at Terminal 5.   She was so pleased with her gifts of Sampaquita that they both came back again that afternoon. When you have been a fan of Whitesnake for twenty years it is great to meet and scent the lead singer!
