'Nemo me impune lacessit' – the Order of the Thistle. The defiant motto of Scotland, an ancestral virtue.

 

Impression

Chamomile, Bengal Pepper, Honey, Clary Sage, Marjoram Tea, Myrtle, Vetch, Clove Bud, Hart’s Tongue.

 

Fade

Musk-thistle, Heliotrope, Tormentil, Mahogany, Cocoa Absolute, Tobacco, Deertongue, Cherrywood.

 

Unashamedly polarizing, Carduus is a blend of jagged leaves, herbal seeds and xeric barks.

Carduus assaults with a potent crash of warm gustatory herbs, tingling seeds and defensive leaves. This dry herbal bouquet prevails over medicinal botanicals, ardent barks and bruised molecules. The resulting effect conjures images of untold ceremony and ritual. The fragrance flirts with tradition; aged herbs and spices blended alchemically.

This romantic brew is woven with bundles of complex flower essences and fermented leaves before revealing sweet confections and pounded roots.

There is unusual buoyancy experienced with Carduus. Starting extremely rich, dense and laced with spices before shedding layers to reveal a veiled and noble incense facet that feels weightless.

 

Made in Scotland.

Beautiful with a mind of its own

I love this perfume, but it's very site specific for me. I wear it when I will be outdoors, perhaps at the seaside, always in cold weather. There, it's perfection. On me, Carduus is not an urban or an indoor scent. But it's exquisite.

Herbal Dream

This is now my second favorite fragrance from the house, right after Arborist. If you're a fan of scents like Yatagan, you'll definitely appreciate this one. It whisks you away to a traditional Asian herbal and medicine shop, offering a photorealistic olfactory experience of that unique environment. The aroma is an exquisite fusion of tea and fragrant herbs, so distinct from your typical perfume.

In terms of performance and longevity, it excels. In all my fragrance explorations, I've never encountered anything quite like it. However, it's worth noting that this scent might not be for everyone, so I'd recommend giving it a test before committing to a purchase. For me, though, it's nothing short of a masterpiece. If you're looking for a more comprehensive review, be sure to check out FSOCI3TY on Basenotes. (I'll be uploading my full review soon).

Thank you Shane! We're thrilled you have connected with Carduus - it's a mystical magical scent!

What a relief

I found this scent in my ‘favourite’ lifestyle’ shop a while ago to replace an old favourite no longer in production. On going to buy a third bottle, I was told they no longer kept it in stock so I looked at Jorum Studio site only to manage to miss it.
Feeling bereft iI telephoned the studio just in case and, phew, you sorted everything out for me so I am now enjoying being back in my scent comfort zone. This is not only a very positive review for the product (much better described by you) but also a huge thank you to everyone at JS. pjr

Hi Penny! So glad to hear you are a fan of Carduus. It's a magic fragrance for sure! Thank you for your review.
