Trimerous Jorum Studio 2019

Herb freshness opens the door for me.
"Hello," she says with a smile. A hint of gin brushes past me.
"How lovely she has become," I think, the little bergamot, standing here before me, with thyme blossoms and twigs in her hair. She has grown up so much.
"Iris isn't here yet," she says. Then she magically produces a glass of gin from behind her back and holds it out to me.
"Want a sip?"
Smiling, I wave it off. Carrot seed pushes past bergamot and laughs as it throws its arms around my neck.
"So nice that you came!"
"My God," I think, "she really smells good!"
She is simply the perfectly balanced blend of fresh dill and finely spiced caraway seeds. And she knows it. Because she likes to emphasize her scent with a hint of floral angelica.
Linked arm in arm with the two of them, exchanging pleasant small talk, we stroll into the already autumnal garden area.
We sit down at a small table as more guests arrive.
"How do you like Jorum Studio?" the two of them ask me in unison. They then exchange a bewildered glance and burst out laughing together.
"I should drink something," I think at that moment, the air is somehow dry.
"Kombucha with cloudberry would be nice," I say to one of the passing waitstaff.
"Unfortunately, we're out," I'm informed.
Well, then something else. Just some juice.

And then she stands before us. Iris.

Completely at ease, she sits down at our table, and no one at this garden party can take their eyes off her. She looks fantastic! I've never seen her like this before.

No powder conceals her natural beauty. And in her presence, everyone begins to glow.

In this light, Iris blossoms into her full beauty, and she has never looked better. It’s as if she finally wants to reveal her secret to me.

"Iris," I sigh, and then I must have fainted. Because when I come back to my senses from my fragrance haze, they are all gone.

*******

This was the last scent from my Discovery Set Progressive Botany Vol. 1. How did I enjoy my fragrance journey at Jorum Studio?

Well, I must say. Many fragrance nuances were easy for me to detect, and no perfume resembled the scent before it. I really liked that. However, I wouldn't buy a single one of the fragrances (well, I might be tempted by one). Because for me, the price-performance ratio doesn't quite add up (keyword: longevity), and none of the scents really convinced me to want them in my collection.

However, they all left an interesting and sometimes very good impression during their presentation, even the ones that didn't appeal to my nose. Great fragrance journey!
