Carduus by Jorum Studio is a complex and original fragrance.
Like a strong statement, Carduus opens with a true explosion of spices on the skin. Next to the aromatic notes, there is a comforting warmth. This dry spices bouquet is supported by incense and opens very rich but remains weightless.
Carduus is the Latin name for thistle, the national plant of Scotland.
Like all creations by Jorum Studio, Carduus is handmade in small batches in Scotland by the brand’s perfumer Euan McCall.

Green
Thanks to their natural and vegetal components, green fragrances are like a walk in the forest. Smell the grass, plants, leaves, twigs and moss. Always intriguing, always lively and full of character. Green, greener, greenest!
