Stora Skuggan is a niche fragrance brand founded in Stockholm in 2015 by a group of creatives aiming to push the boundaries of traditional perfumery. The name, meaning “The Big Shadow,” is inspired by a forest near Stockholm, reflecting the brand’s connection to nature and mysticism. From the beginning, Stora Skuggan focused on creating scents that evoke mystery, blending storytelling with unique, conceptual fragrances.

Their debut fragrance, Fantôme de Maules, drew inspiration from folklore, embodying the brand’s dark and immersive identity with earthy, woody notes. Stora Skuggan stands out for its artistic approach, treating each fragrance as a narrative, with minimalist bottle designs and poetic descriptions enhancing the conceptual nature.

Despite its short history, the brand has gained a loyal following for its complex compositions, blending natural and synthetic elements that transport wearers into worlds rooted in nature or mythology. Today, Stora Skuggan continues to challenge traditional perfumery with evocative scents and creative storytelling, carving a distinct place in the artisanal fragrance world.
