Writers have noms de plume. So is the name that a perfumer hides behind a nom de flacon...? Well, what we do know is that one of our most esteemed British perfumers - Linda Pilkington (a.k.a. Ormonde Jayne) - is hosting a soirée from 6 p.m. on Wednesday 30th March at her jewel-like Chelsea flagship store.
It's to celebrate Mother's Day. And Ormonde Jayne's wonderful Osmanthus perfume: it's a dead cert most mothers would love this, with its fruity white flowers. Personally, we're lusting after the triple-milled Osmanthus soap, which debuts on the evening.
Tickets are £15, redeemable against any purchases made on 30th March, and you'll receive a gorgeous Osmanthus goody bag and refreshments. (To book, call Monica on 0207-730 1381.) And of course, the lovely and knowledgeable Linda will be delighted to answer any perfume questions, after the talk.
Just remember not to call her Jayne...
Ormonde Jayne, Pavilion Road, London SW1 (just around the corner from The White Company)
