Jorum Studio Medullary-ray is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Euan McCall. Medullary-ray opens with Olive, Cardamom, Incense, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Papyrus, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Birch, and Castoreum. Jorum Studio's Medullary-ray carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a fiercely divisive beast of a perfume. You're either going to be obsessed with its raw, earthy, and animalic qualities, or you'll find it utterly unwearable. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer Fall
Also Works:
Spring

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and summer pair best.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent, unique, and often challenging character makes it unsuitable for the office, as many reviews highlight its 'sweaty' or 'pissy' aspects. While it could work for a bold date or casual wear, its intense woodiness and animalic notes lean away from formal settings.

About

Medullary-ray opens with an intense, almost briny hit of black olive and a punch of valerian, quickly joined by the dry, aromatic bite of juniper and hay. As it settles, a complex woody heart emerges, showcasing birch, cedar, and guaiac wood, alongside smoky frankincense and myrrh. The base is an animalic leather, softened by creamy sandalwood and earthy vetiver, creating a scent that's both ancient and strikingly modern.
