Welcome to JORUM JOURNAL ISSUE 8
JORUM JOURNAL is a monthly glimpse behind the scenes at Jorum Studio. Find out what’s inspiring us, what’s motivating us, what we’re celebrating – the thoughts and stories behind our luxury fragrances.
AUGUST at Jorum Studio saw us head full-pelt into Edinburgh International Festival season. Like many Edinburgh locals, the Jorum team were incredibly excited to to once again welcome visitors from across the world to the city after a long two years without any events or celebrations.

Now, on to a new season, and new projects...

READING LIST
Wild, The Naturalistic Garden by Noel Kingsbury
With stunning photography by Claire Takacs, a joyful read for anyone who loves to let plants grow wild. We're big advocates for the value of garden weeds here at Jorum!
Women by Slim Aarons
More photographic joy – this time from Aarons who is a longtime inspiration of our co-founder, Chloe. (His work also partially inspired Pentimento from our Selective Memory collection!)
Egon Schiele: The Paintings ed. Tobias G. Natter (Taschen)
A beautiful book containing a glimpse of Schiele's famed and lesser-seen painting work (a lucky Edinburgh charity shop find!)
