Kashmir

4000 metres above sea level, with its snowy glaciers and pristine lakes, rivers gush through deep Himalayan valleys, densely forested with majestic towering Deodar trees. At this high altitude, the Valley of Kashmir presents a uniquely breath-taking terrain. Home to a diverse array of plants, meadows are blanketed with wild, rare blue poppies and Kashmiri saffron each summer.

Kashmir by Ormonde Jayne is not without considerable allure. The emphasis of this woody hypnotic scent is Deodar, from the cedar wood family and a soft dreamy sandalwood, underscored with iris, rose, jasmine, cashmeran, vanilla and a caress of musk to fix this pervasive perfume.
