Pluck!

I live in Toronto and have had the opportunity to sample a lot of Jorum Studio’s scents and I love almost everything the put out. so, when they came out with a scent that’s one of my favourite naturally occurring smells I had to get my paws on it! They shipped it promptly and I had to pay minimal duties which was a relief. The scent itself if fresh and slightly sweeter than I had anticipated but still perfect for an everyday scent and great for layering. Not to mention, it LASTS which is also ways a point of contention with perfumes for me.

Tragically this smells like Irish Spring soap on me. Maybe it skews a little too herbal? IDK. Still nice, but all of the tomato leaf dries down into a minty soap. Hopefully others have a more tomatoey experience!

I love the delicate start of subtle minty greenery. Becoming a bit more raspy then, with the basil of wonderful connector, it's not a million miles away from Malle's Geranium pour Monsieur. While that one quickly fades, Euan found a way to give Pluck! longevity. I admit I don't get a lot of rough tomato tar from here on, and the geranium softens. I rather naturally delve in a comforting, silver-green fir/algae realm, with a hint of Acqua di Sale. That is surprising, yes, and indeed a million miles away from the underlying idea. Still, that's my perception. So, while I expected a bit more pungency (why did I?) I like Pluck! a lot, it's very well rounded, has enough twist and is easy to wear.

I impulsively bought this fragrance after reading a Reddit post that highly recommended it. And guess what? He was absolutely right! The scent is incredibly pleasant and reminds me of the fresh, vibrant aroma of ripe green tomato plants. It’s a fantastic way to capture that essence. This fragrance is perfect for everyday use and is ideal for the summer season.

The notes on this one are accurate! It certainly smells like a spicier tomato vine. More complex than the tomato leaf products which seem to be everywhere right now. It is a perfect one for summer, especially as it tips into autumn and the earthier notes take centre stage. But for July, I've enjoyed layering it with an even greener scent such as Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca to bring out the fresher side of the garden tomato.
