Muscat is one of Ormonde Jayne's eaux de parfum. The house describes it as an enveloping second skin, which skips the usual citrus and floral opening to go straight to ambery notes, and files it among its ambers and ouds.
Saffron, cinnamon and date oil open the composition. The heart gathers rose absolute, incense and halwa. The base pairs oud, vanilla, oakmoss and cardamom.

Muscat in detail
Muscat is one of Ormonde Jayne's eaux de parfum, from the London house founded by Linda Pilkington. The house describes it as an enveloping second skin, which skips the usual citrus and floral opening to go straight to ambery notes, and pictures it worn with light silks, in a medina or at a ball. It files it among its ambers and ouds; Volute files it among ambery fragrances.
The official pyramid opens with saffron, cinnamon and sweet date oil. The heart gathers a rose absolute, incense and halva, which the house spells halwa, a gourmand sweet the perfumer recreates. The base pairs oud, vanilla, oakmoss and cardamom.
Muscat suits autumn and winter, mostly in the evening. Oud is at its centre, softened by rose, date and vanilla, while incense and oakmoss keep it deep.
Three ambery fragrances in our catalogue come close: Epic Woman by Amouage shares cinnamon, oud, incense and vanilla; Guidance, from the same house, brings back incense, saffron and rose; Instant Crush by Mancera also pairs saffron and rose with oakmoss.
