Jorum Studio Athenaeum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Euan McCall. Athenaeum opens with Lavender, Fennel, Honey, and Beeswax, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Neroli, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Oak, Balsam, Leather, and Patchouli. Jorum Studio's Athenaeum carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive beauty. Some find its complex, earthy-inky character utterly captivating, a journey through memory and nature. Others recoil at notes of 'sour mold' or 'bandaid'. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you like challenging scents, it could be your next signature.

Its unique, somewhat melancholic, and subtly projecting nature makes it best suited for casual wear and intimate encounters. While praised for its complexity, some may find its unusual notes too distracting for a formal or office setting, and its character is far from sporty.

About

Athenaeum opens with a quirky blend of sweet honeyed apple and herbal fennel, softened by a touch of lavender. This soon gives way to a distinctive heart of dry hay and clean neroli, hinting at sun-drenched fields. The base deepens into a rich tapestry of woody oak, earthy patchouli, and a pronounced ink note, all underscored by a subtle, waxy leather and warm balsam, creating a contemplative, almost antique, aroma.
