Pony Boy

This fragrance was my first from Jorum and is a masterpiece, I purchased spiritcask not long after. There's almost this herbal quality dill or the maybe the carrot seed which reminds me of homemade Jewish chicken soup I grew up eating. Not all will feel this way, I wear it for this reason, that scent is very soothing. The grapefruit is less noticable, but definitely nice. Today I over sprayed and wore it in the Fort Lauderdale heat on Las Olas Blvd and I heard someone say aloud it stinks like weed, Im not 100%, but I am pretty sure they were referring to me 🤣. I really love the fig in this as well, it's almost powdery. This fragrance is very well belended and it took my nose a few months to completely comprehend, and I am still deciphering it. This definitely goes through changes on my skin, projects 2ft and last long, it happens to work really well with my chemistry. I'm in sfl and this can be difficult to wear, I like wearing this on a hot rainy day or in winter. It works well with humidity and also inside an air conditioned corporate office. This fragrance is for people who understand and enjoy niche. Pony Boy is not beautiful in the conventional sense, it's beautiful because it's interesting, it's like nothing else I have worn. This is a very high quality and very natural smelling fragrance and a recommended blind buy for niche collectors that understand and like the notes. This feels special when I wear it, because it is. I feel like a lot of love went into both the creation of the ingredients in this and also the formulation of the finished product.

Le Labo Thé Noir 29 as craft beer (compliment) On a non-comparative review basically how I'd describe it is how I would describe ^The Noir – it didn't get tea or noir tbh but it's super dewy and floral of a scent. Reminds me of impressionist paintings. Yknow how things just seem so wet and muddled but all the flowers swirl into each other but in like an uplifting airy kind of wet than something dark and damp? Yeah that. So take that and maybe have a few beers while you're watching it. Is the scene then sharing beers with a friend at a museum gallery? It's light and fun though don't get me wrong! It isn't The Noir but more masculine or sth I found it to bear the same skeleton. Still unisex. I imagine it could come off differently on someone else. This was ALMOST a blind buy and in hindsight I wouldn't mind if it had been

So BRIGHT and BUBBLY and HAPPY! It smells like a perfect day - a happy memory from years past. I've never owned a grapefruit or rhubarb fragrance - I normally lean towards fig scents. But this was a nice surprise indeed. It's unique, while being quite simple. I got married in Scotland, so wore this scent at the events leading up to my wedding day, both because of the Scottish symbolism in the brand and the scent, and because the scent quite simply just makes you feel happy. It smells like first loves. I love Jorum Studio. I went to their shop in Edinburgh and they were so informative, and every one of their scents was unique. I also love the stories behind the scents, and I'm really eager to try more.

I am new to fragrances so I'm not sure I'll be able to say much about this fragrance that is useful... but I just had to exclaim about how much I love this perfume. Oh my god. To my novice nose, it is so weird but good. Definitely fruity, definitely floral, but in an edgy way where in my notes I wrote "I think only hot people wear this." There is something underneath the fruit/floral that tames it and I would not call it that sweet. I am obsessed and will definitely be getting a fullsize. Oh and also I have had Ponyboy by SOPHIE stuck in my head ever since getting this and honestly it's not a bad match. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uERIXLWeik0 (nsfw)

An absolute masterpiece. Tart, mouthwatering rhubarb that lasts on the skin and does not turn bitter. It's a little similar to Rhubarbe écarlate but greener, and Pony Boy doesn't have musk. I instantly fell in love with this on paper and on the skin, it's somehow even better. You really need to love rhubarb though because it's a powerful fragrance. I love rhubarb in food as well as in fragrances so this is an absolute win for me. (Byredo's Pulp does have a few similarities with Pony Boy, but Pulp to me is a basket of fruits almost rotting in the sun - in the absolute best way possible - whereas Pony Boy is almost a one note rhubarb frag to me.)

Reviewing a sample from 2025.Pony Boy was launched in 2022. This a bright fruity floral fragrance that will make you smile. Pony Boy opens with fresh sour rhubarb and realistic grapefruit - the tartness barely tempered with peppery spices. Aromatic woods , ambrette and vetiver are perfectly executed to balance the bright opening. Slightly sweet and floral in the heart. The drydown is beautiful. Quality- excellent Unisex Performance- excellent Pony Boy is refreshing and fun. Rare to find such a happy fragrance.Tart on first spray but settles into something beautiful and definitely unique. 9/10

Cruising a water sprite in the eucalyptus-scented steam room at the bathhouse. Smoking weed and sipping a grapefruit cocktail in a rose garden. Tripping on acid while eating a beet salad and a raspberry rhubarb pie under a magnolia tree. Bright, fresh, tart, juicy, lightly floral, a little musky and herbaceous in the drydown, Pony Boy is an ethereal, neon pink version of Paradisi's rich earthiness and psychedelic greenery (in fact, Pony Boy + Paradisi = a mind-blowing combo for layering). Not an everyday scent for me but perfect for a fun night out at the Pink Pony Club.

Really unisex, bubbly ripe fruit. Not over assertive, starts out very tropical and kind of fades to a pleasant haze, like walking past a fig tree or a sagebrush. Feels very nature-y, un-extracted, and bit transparent. Maybe tmi, but I love to wear this without deodorant on a warm day because it mixes with BO really beautifully, and softens the sweaty-boy vibes into something that seems like I just smell really good naturally. No makeup makeup, but perfume. Also found success in layering with heavy incense and woods.

Smells like a girl with a high ponytail and a crop top drinking tart, punchy grapefruit/rhubarb juice and beating you with a pink baseball bat. She is laughing and having the time of her life. You spit out a tooth she knocked loose from its socket and laugh along with her. Afterwards, she drives you down the highway going well over the speed limit and blasts her summer playlist. It’s full of Charli XCX and 100gecs. Ponyboy is a sassy, energetic, and uplifting fragrance. Best worn by carefree bitches of any gender.

One of the most delightful things I’ve sprayed on myself in recent memory. Pony Boy is weirdly wonderful, a mix of tangy citrus with fresh greens and a touch of powder, I get the spicy floral note too, can understand why some people pick up rose. All the notes are easy to imagine, only after reading about them here. Jorum is fast becoming my favorite experimental niche house, I have nothing in my almost 300 bottle collection that smells remotely similar. I love that it’s also super easy to wear.

Disclaimer: I'm a Jorum Studio fanboy. Their whole way of doing things gets me thrilled. I don't know if that counts as bias, but I'm definitely interested in their unique direction. Pony Boy is really good. Fruity in a realistic, non-saccharine way, like unripe fruit, blended with the foliage. I feel like I'm just cloaked in a wreath of fragrant berries and rhubarb and other delicious things when I wear it, and it delivers an experience like no other. 5/5 I recommend.

So good and unique, the rhubarb and grapefruit are so fresh and tart they make your mouth water; there's an astringent, bitter quality which plunges into the earthy and spicy - beetroot, coriander and black pepper is a genius combination when paired with that puckering rhubarb and grapefruit. It's all tied together by the bright, rich sweetness of fig and flowers. It's like taking a deep breath of the tastiest air on earth. I just love this fragrance so much.

I actually love this fragrance - definitely gives me vibes of Rhubarbe Escalarte in the opening with sweet and tart rhubarb, but after that dries down it gives way to a certain green "weediness" (not cannabis) that makes me smile - not unlike the aromatic planty earthiness you smell when gardening and pulling weeds. Can't wait to try this out in warmer weather! I love how all of the notes combine to give you such a vivid experience.

This is such a well blended mix of so many facets - tart, aromatic & woody with a hint of sweetness. There is a bitter green almost “pickle” type scent (no complaints from me) that is halted from veering too much into that territory with the lightest touch of powdery sweetness. Agree with the review below that this is unisex. Longevity is also excellent, can smell on clothes the next day and about 6-8 hours on skin.

This is one of those- the sun is bright and shining wake up in the morning somewhere in california put on a bright pink outfit throw your shades on and go kick some ass kind of fragrances. Screams Malibu to me. Rhubarb and grapefruit are the stars here and they are tart and loud. I get a little bit of the pink pepper and the cedar too. Non-linear fragrance which is nice.

What a DELIGHTFUL, nuanced fragrance this is! It's really marvelous for both warm and cool weather, and there's a lot going on here. It lasts long and well, projects, and I'm just in love with the combination of notes here. The tart, juicy fruit and clean spices are a winning combo. It's not just ANY fruit either–really is specifically rhubarb and raspberry. Love!

This smells amazing. To my surprise it seems to work well despite testing it on a cool autumn day. Somehow simultaneously refreshing and woody. The rhubarb is delightfully tart, and the fig and lotus provide the barest hint of sweetness. The woodiness becomes more prominent in the drydown. This is a solidly unisex freshie quite unlike anything else I've smelled.

I love the stuff that jorum studios has been putting out in the last couple of years and pony boy is among the best from this house. While it is “sweet” to me I think the sweet smell almost replicates the aroma from opening a bottle champagne. It’s very sparkly but also dries into something foggy/humid. Very interesting can’t wait to rock this in the spring!

On me, this is a gorgeous sparkly fragrance. This was my surprise favourite out of everything in Jorum’s discovery sets, with Gorseland and Pentimento second and third. Pony Boy smells like dancing on the grass in summer. It’s wholesome and happy and strange and it lasts forever. I’m going to buy a bottle when my sample runs out.

Smelled this having no idea what the notes were. Absolutely shocked this isn't a fresh, sweet, and green rose fragrance. I 100% agree with Alyce. Jorum Studio is quickly becoming my favoirite niche House for natural and earthy and unique frags. Not for beginners but an absolute treat for those who have been around the block.
