British niche line Ormonde Jayne will launch Vanille des Afriques Intensivo, a new fragrance in the Four Corners of the Earth collection, in April. Last year, the brand launched Bukhara, a new fragrance in the Route de la Soie collection.
Vanille des Afriques Intensivo ~ Amber. "Joining the collection Four Corners of the Earth collection, this is the very definition of pedigree and heritage. From the cradle of civilisation, precious contents of orris butter blend with an abundance of the aphrodisiac, Madagascan vanilla absolute. Vanille des Afriques Intensivo is a balmy evening, enjoying the sunset whilst the warm breeze billows through your silks and linens. Its smooth radiance sooths and relaxes you - a level of comfort and quiet contemplation." Additional notes include coriander, bergamot, carrot seed, pink pepper, jasmine, magnolia, osmanthus, cedar, vetiver, amber and musk. Vanille des Afriques Intensivo will be available in 10 and 88 ml.
Bukhara ~ Fruity woody musk. "Bukhara, from the esteemed Route de la Soie collection, embodies a sense of lavish refinement. The tantalizing top notes of succulent peach and rich blackcurrant, conjuring images of an exotic oasis. At its heart, the fragrance exudes an entrancing bouquet of tuberose, jasmine absolute, and orange blossom, evoking a graceful floral allure. The dry down unfurls with a sensuous base of sandalwood, cedarwood, vanilla, and Oudh, enveloping the wearer in a warm embrace. Bukhara is an exquisite and indulgent scent, exceptionally good for those who desire the ultimate in life’s experiences." Additional notes include bergamot and amber. Bukhara is currently exclusive to Fenwick in the UK, £175 for 88 ml Extrait de Parfum.

Pretty bad form to name a perfume Bukhara when there already is one…?
As its named after the city of Bukhara, is it any different to the numerous fragrances named ‘London’ produced by Tom Ford, Burberry, Gallivant, Widian, Roja Dove, Victoria’s Secret, One Day , Al-Jazeera etc, the various fragrances named ‘New York’ & ‘Brooklyn’’ or the 8 or 9 fragrances called ‘Berlin’ etc ?
Yeah, it’s a city, this bothers me not at all.
Fun to do a sniff comparison. I wear “the other Bukhara” a lot in the summertime…
