There’s something promising and intriguing in the pyramid notes of Pony Boy by Jorum Studio. In this perfume, each note contributes to a composition that mirrors the transformation and mystique of the kelpie myth. From tart and herbal to soft and earthy, these ingredients blend to create a scent that embodies both wildness and refinement, paying homage to Scotland’s mythical heritage.
The fragrance unleashes with an intriguing earthy and fresh smell that one strain to match words for sensations. The scent is a clear combination of beet root, rhubarb, and an effervescent unripe pink grapefruit. It opens like the brisk pop of a champagne bottle. Full of energy and soprano-accented.
Beside this jovial intro, there’s a shiny hint of fig and coriander seeds that confers an extra delight to the tart top and amplify the rhubarb’s zing. Pink grapefruit brings a fresh, slightly citrusy acidity, while coriander seed introduces a subtle herbal undertone.
About half an hour from the application, the rhubarb remains vibrant, but its intensity softens and allows other elements to emerge. Here begins a gentle, poetic floral patch including pink lotus and champaca absolute, and it adds a hint of floral freshness and sweetness that balances the sourness of the opening, creating a more nuanced, layered scent. In this phase, Pony Boy remains between earthy and powdery but gradually undergoes a complete transformation once completely settled on the skin.
Vetiver and ambrette seed contribute to the earthy, almost musky quality of the base, enhancing the fragrance's staying power while maintaining a sense of intrigue. This final phase of the perfume feels grounded and harmonious, like the kelpie has settled into its human guise, carrying only a hint of its wild origin.
Pony Boy boasts really impressive longevity, often lasting over ten hours on the skin. Its projection is moderate to strong, especially during the initial stages when the tart rhubarb and pink grapefruit are at their peak.
The scent’s evolution is dynamic, shifting from bright and bold to soft and understated as it wears. For those who enjoy a fragrance that tells a story and unfolds gradually, Pony Boy offers a unique and satisfying experience, inviting the wearer to follow along on a journey as the kelpie reveals its many layers.
