Damask in detail
Damask is a creation by Linda Pilkington for Ormonde Jayne, her London house. She drew on ancient Mesopotamia and the region of Damascus, which gave its name to the Damask rose. The house files it among its floral gourmands, a choice its fruity opening explains.
The official pyramid opens with blackcurrant, Argentine lemon and pear, a fruity, juicy start. The heart gathers rose, jasmine and lightly peppery pink pepper. The base pairs an amber the house calls mineral, musk and vetiver, which nicely dries the end of the composition.
Damask suits spring and autumn, by day or by night. Its fruit keeps it light by day, while its amber and musk carry it into the evening.
Three florals in our catalogue come close: Bouquet de Hongrie by BDK Parfums shares pear, blackcurrant, musk and amber; Elysium Absolue by Roja Parfums finds blackcurrant, rose, pink pepper and vetiver again; Guidance 46 by Amouage pairs pear, rose and pink pepper.
