Ormonde Jane Fraise Sublime: A Taste of Endless Summer at Home

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending a garden party hosted by Linda Pilkington, the founder of Ormonde Jayne. It was one of those perfect London afternoons where the sun lingers just a little longer than expected. The setting was magical, lush greenery, vibrant blooms, and the gentle hum of conversation all around. I remember thinking how it felt like stepping into a tropical paradise, right in the middle of the city.

It was here that I was first introduced to Fraise Sublime, Ormonde Jayne’s newest scent & reed diffuser, and it has been scenting my home ever since.

From the very first moment, Fraise Sublime made me think of sun warmed wild strawberries, the kind you pick at their ripest, when they’re juicy, sweet, and still carrying the fragrance of the summer air. The diffuser opens with a burst of freshness: freesia, waterlily, and a hint of fresh cut grass. It’s airy, uplifting, and instantly brightens the room. Then comes the heart of the scent, ripe wild strawberries perfectly balanced with the golden warmth of ylang-ylang. It’s gourmand without ever becoming cloying, thanks to its green, floral backbone.

I’ve placed mine in the conservatory, where the sunlight seems to amplify its fresh, fruity character, though I can imagine it would be just as beautiful in a kitchen. Every time I walk past, I get that same joyful feeling I had at the garden party like summer is still here, stretching out just for me.

If you’re looking to bring a little sunshine indoors, Fraise Sublime is a gorgeous choice. It’s not just a fragrance; it’s an atmosphere, a mood, a moment. And for me, it’s now a memory of a perfect afternoon in a hidden London paradise.
