Description
Stora Skuggan Monkeyflower (Eau de Parfum) brings to life one of the most extraordinary legends in perfumery: the story of Common Musk, a once-beloved flower that filled Victorian salons with its rich scent before mysteriously losing its fragrance entirely. Imported from the sunny meadows of the American West Coast, Musk Monkeyflower enchanted 19th-century England. Its scent became a favorite in aristocratic greenhouses and found its way onto the windowsills of country homes. Then one day, it suddenly lost its scent. Its aroma disappeared from the air, leaving only rumors and a melancholic question: does a common musk scent still exist which scent matches that of the old musk?
Stora Skuggan answers this haunting question with a perfume that feels like the long-awaited return of the flower. The fragrance of tussilago and sunscreen in Monkeyflower’s opening shines in the California sunshine, the warm scent of dusty roads and wild plants. Soon, fig, buttercup, chamomile, and the soft hum of goldenberry unfold, reminiscent of the English countryside in bloom when Monkeyflower was still fragrant and alive. Yet there is a strange background noise, as if the air itself remembers.
In Monkeyflower’s drydown, musk and hay are both elegy and rebirth. It does not capture the lost musk as it was, but as it can be reimagined after a century of silence: gentle, human, and magical. The perfume is not nostalgia, but resurrection. Stora Skuggan has composed a perfume that smells like awakening memories, the spirit of a forgotten flower that breathes again.
