Babylonia

Babylonia is a sweet powdery floral from Ormonde Jayne, released in 2022 for women and composed by Linda Pilkington. Everyone who describes it calls it gourmand and floral, about half add musky, and a minority spicy, resinous or citrus.

Bergamot and black currant open it with a bright, slightly tart freshness, and pink pepper adds a soft rosy warmth. Davana brings a fruity, faintly boozy herbal tone into the middle, where orange blossom, violet and bellflower form a gentle, powdery bouquet, with orris root adding a cool, refined powder. The base is where the sweetness builds: praline for a nutty caramel, vanilla and vanilla absolute for creamy depth, Siam benzoin for a resinous, almost almond warmth, and white musk to smooth the finish.

No community data on longevity or projection has been collected yet. Praline, benzoin and powdery flowers point to cooler weather and evenings, and to people who like comforting, sweet, slightly cosmetic florals.
