5 Distinctive Spring Perfumes

5 Distinctive Spring Perfumes

Scents to put a spring in your step!

No time is quite like spring for shaking up your perfume routine, whether you're trying something new or rediscovering an old favourite in a fresh context. 

As an independent Scottish perfumer, we're unendingly inspired by Scotland's flora and fauna as they burst into life after a long, harsh winter. Here are some of our favourite uplifting Jorum Studio fragrances to celebrate the season. 

Athenaeum Eau de Parfum

Knurled, waxen, smudged, pulpy, sun-warmed, hazy.

Impression: Scottish Lavender, Beeswax, Fennel, Apple, Honey.

Fade: Neroli oil, Hyacinth, Flouve, Patchouli, Leather, Gurjun Balsam, Oak, Ink.

Athenaeum is a Scottish perfume through and through. Scottish lavender oil sourced within a stone's throw of our perfumer's hometown in Fife softly melds with apple, honey and fennel, astringent neroli and hyacinth, and the comforting sturdiness of leather, ink and varnished wood. Bucolic springtime bliss.

Paradisi Extrait de Parfum

Vibrant, humid, unguent, verdant, acerbic, mycelial. 

Impression: Grapefruit, Orange, Guava, Honeysuckle, Cucumber, Pink Pepper, Magnolia, Passionflower.

Fade: Tree Moss Absolute, Mushroom, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Soil.

Looking for an instant antidote to dark, dreary days? Paradisi is your wake-up call! Bitter, pithy grapefruit collides with guava, fresh cucumber, dewy passionflower in this fresh green perfume – a perfect concoction of verdant, earthy humidity to celebrate the vitality of nature. 

Askr Extrait de Parfum

Saline, brisk, invigorating, rugged, dynamic, unfathomable.

Impression: Ash, Salt, Chamomile, Angelica, Elemi, Sichuan Pepper, Galbanum.

Fade: Elm, Calamus, Atlas Cedar, Orris, Copal Resin, Driftwood, Seamoss, Ambergris, Papyrus, Vetiver, Woodruff.

Our new Jorum Studio perfume release, Askr is a primordial soup of spiced, aquatic notes and gritty resins. Tendrils of incense smoke greet ancient woods, while treasures of the sea bring otherworldly salinity. The perfect refreshing everyday scent for spring, with complexity and edge.

 

Trimerous Eau de Parfum

Dewy, silvered, crepuscular, waxen, rustic, exalting.

Impression: Carrot Seed, Bergamot, Nectarine, Thyme, Cicely, Pink Pepper, Juniper, Cloudberry, Angelica Root.

Fade: Orris Butter, Kombucha, Centaury, Suede, Musk, Ambergris, Styrax, Vanilla, Incense.

Trimerous is our bestselling floral perfume for a reason – this perfectly balanced, floating scent is both comforting and uplifting. Primarily a study in orris, namely facets of the material often overlooked, Trimerous abounds in soft waxen aromatics, piquant pink pepper, warm, sunlit vanilla and musks. An orris fragrance that truly captures the feeling of the springtime sun warming your skin.

Elegy Extrait de Parfum

Reflective, gauzy, regal, drifting, uplifting, resonant. 

Impression: Bergamot, Lavender, Petitgrain, Heather Absolute, Rose Absolute, Jasmine Absolute.

If you're looking for a new signature scent this spring, why not immerse yourself in Elegy's elegant powdery perfume? A vintage-inspired chypre profile, Elegy blooms with refined citrus, velvety rose and jasmine, heady patchouli and labdanum, and the earthy warmth of oakmoss and ambergris. Timeless yet strikingly contemporary.
