This explosively aromatic blend hums with wild mint and fennel in a swirl of earthy oak moss, peppery green angelica and fresh pine. Bring the outdoors in with Chypre-Mousse.

Mistpouffer by Stora Skuggan £130.00
- Key notes:
- cypriol
- fig
- pine
- vetiver
- Aromagroups:
- green
- woody
A Mistpouffer is an unexplained natural sound, a sonic boom like distant cannon fire that seems to come out of the fog over large lakes or rivers. It has been recorded all over the world throughout history, and is the source of many legends. Despite scientific attempts to understand the sounds, its source has still not been identified. Possible explanations include solar winds resonating in the atmosphere, underground earthquakes or gas bubbles being released from the deep. Others believe it is the work of extraterrestrial or subsurface civilisations.
Rendering this mystical water thunder as a fragrance was as elusive as the sound itself. We spent four years and hundreds of iterations before finding the right balance between being distinctive and inexplainable. The honeyed hay of immortelle dapples sunshine across deep green siblings vetiver and cypriol. It’s foggy but not aquatic, smoky but not heavy. Natural, but in equal parts supernatural.
PINE by Stora Skuggan £130.00
- Key notes:
- pine
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Pine! It’s soooooo pine. Camp fire smoke and fresh cold air combine in a fragrance both bracing and comforting.

- pine
- Aromagroups:
- woody
Inspired by the serene monasteries of Russia, where silence, snow, and incense create a mystical atmosphere. A blizzard of white aldehydes set the scene, swirling around clove-like pimento, cold/minty hinoki wood, and evergreen pine. The incense here is a cold smolder.
Via dell’Incenso by Farmacia SS. Annunziata dal 1561 £165.00

- incense
- pine
- Aromagroups:

The Via dell’Incenso was an ancient trade route for the passage of incense, spices and other luxury goods from South Arabia and the Horn of Africa to the Mediterranean world. This namesake perfume evokes the storied journey with a dance between chilly incense and cushy cashmeran. The result is a cold fire beneath incense, lemony elemi, brisk pine and charred guaiac wood. Any sharp edges are padded with cashmeran, ambered and velvety.
