Jorum Studio Carduus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Euan McCall. Carduus settles into a heart of Myrtle, Rose, Tuberose, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Musk and Mahogany. Jorum Studio's Carduus carries an Acquired verdict, a herbal-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive scent, evoking everything from cosy tea and honey to medicinal cough syrup and hamster shavings. You'll either love its herbal witchy charm and earthy depth or find it utterly unwearable. Definitely not a blind buy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent herbal and woody character, combined with excellent longevity and moderate sillage, make it too prominent for most office settings. It excels in casual, intimate settings, and could be an intriguing choice for a date, but lacks the polished elegance for formal events.

About

Carduus opens with a potent blast of sharp, medicinal herbs and fresh green vigour, dominated by chamomile and clary sage. As it settles, a sweet, waxy honeyed warmth emerges, blending with dry tobacco and woody mahogany. It then transforms into a complex, earthy drydown, hinting at spices, tea, and a subtle floral whisper of rose, all underpinned by a persistent, dusty herbal accord.
