Jorum Studio

Jorum Studio is Edinburgh's own fragrance house, founded in 2019 by perfumer Euan McCall alongside partner and designer Chloe Mullen. It describes itself as Scotland's first fragrance house, and it is the only perfumery in Scotland that researches, develops and crafts scent on location rather than commissioning formulation out to a fragrance house elsewhere. Since 2021 the business has operated from a standalone store and micro-laboratory at 12 St Stephen Street in Edinburgh's New Town, where bespoke consultations also take place.

Genuine bespoke work sits alongside Jorum's ready-to-wear collection: McCall and the studio team develop a fragrance from scratch for an individual client, with prices starting from £3,000, a level that reflects a full custom composition rather than a mix-and-match session built from pre-made bases. That price point, and the fact the perfumer developing it is the same person behind the house's own acclaimed collection (stocked by niche retailers including Indigo Perfumery and Fragrances and Art), is the strongest signal here - this isn't a marketing add-on to a retail brand, it's the core discipline the studio was built around.

What we could not verify in this pass is the exact shape of the consultation process - how many sessions, over what timeframe, and what's delivered along the way - since Jorum doesn't publish those specifics online. That is worth confirming directly with the studio before committing, particularly if comparing against houses like Floris or Penhaligon's that do publish a session count and timeline.

For a Scottish or northern-England client, or anyone wanting to support an independent house rather than a Mayfair or Harrods institution, Jorum is a genuinely credentialed, geographically distinct option in a category otherwise dominated by London addresses.
