Description
PONY BOY: The scent description paints a striking picture: ‘The kelpie haunts a Lochside sauna, hissing out a steamed-wood and pink-edged sour lotus haze.’ PONY BOY is a sour, fruity-floral-green Extrait de Parfum with fresh, hot-steam elements. There is something both intoxicating and revitalising about it – in a similar vein to one of Jorum Studio’s other popular picks, Paradisi. The name and concept had been in the works for almost a year, but the fragrance itself took longer than average to complete, with tweaks being made daily until the entire team felt it fully captured their vision. The name is inspired by the Kelpie – a shape-shifting folkloric figure said to inhabit lochs in Scottish folklore. ‘We’d already touched upon elements of Scottish folklore in HEALING BERRY and FIREWATER, so it was natural to continue along this path. We liked the idea of taking this mythical horse-like figure of temptation and placing it in an unexpected setting,’ explained co-founder and perfumer Euan McCall.PONY BOY is an alternate story of the kelpie: a shape-shifting folkloric figure said to inhabit lochs and other bodies of water in Scottish folklore. Kelpies are traditionally male, yet historically they are most often represented as the stereotypical female ‘temptress’ in visual art. PONY BOY celebrates temptation in all its forms through the subversion of expectations: the kelpie, perpetual outsider and tired of his loch-bound existence, visits a local sauna and erupts a rhubarb-tinged cloud of steamy bliss primed to hypnotise passers-by.
A fragrance tester is an entirely new, unused product that has never been sprayed. These testers are genuine, fresh, and 100% original, featuring the exact same fragrance as the full-priced version. Manufacturers produce testers, which might come in simple packaging and lack decorative caps. As a result, they are offered at a lower price, and we pass those savings directly to you.
