Silphium is an aromatic floral fragrance with a distinctive warm, spiced character.
Geranium sits at its heart, surrounded by cinnamon, black pepper, ginger and clove, creating something fragrant and complex rather than overtly sweet. Frankincense, myrrh and cedarwood bring warmth and depth underneath, with tobacco and leather adding texture to the dry-down.
The fragrance takes its name from Silphium, a plant once found around Cyrene in present-day Libya and prized throughout classical antiquity as a spice, medicine and perfume ingredient. So valuable that it was eventually harvested to extinction, its exact scent has been lost.
Stora Skuggan created its own Silphium accord by researching surviving plants thought to be related to it, using modern aroma materials to imagine the character of this vanished ingredient.

Independent perfumery | Stora Skuggan’s fragrances are developed and composed by its own team in Stockholm rather than by an external perfumer.

Made in Sweden | Stora Skuggan is based in Stockholm, with the finished fragrances manufactured in Sweden.
Vegan | All Stora Skuggan fragrances are vegan with the exception of Thumbsucker, which contains beeswax.
Standards | The fragrances conform to IFRA and EU cosmetic regulatory standards.
Stora Skuggan is an independent perfume house based in Stockholm, Sweden. Its fragrances combine unusual ingredients with stories drawn from mythology, history, folklore and unexplained phenomena, creating scents that feel as distinctive as their names suggest.
Fragrance development, composition, artwork and packaging are handled by the Stora Skuggan team themselves, giving the collection a particularly singular identity from scent through to presentation.
