What is Fantôme de Maules? Who is Fantôme de Maules?

The setting: Maules, a small village in the french-speaking part of Switzerland, surrounded by agricultural fields and  dense forests.

The subject: An enigmatic being, seen by many wandering the local woodlands for the past decade, dressed in nothing but cloaked camouflage and an obsolete mask. Most likely human but one cannot be sure. Looming at almost two meters tall he seems to take particular interest in the surrounding flora and fauna. 

Unaware of passersby, he spends his time picking and smelling flowers; only then he lets down his guard. A crack of a twig or the rustle of a leaf and he'll vanish back into the foliage.

The locals call him Le Loyon, but the character calls himself Fantôme de Maules. The ghost of Maules. 

So who is Fantôme de Maules? A recluse, an outcast from society who has made a home in the forest? A survivalist preparing for the apocalypse? We will never know, because he doesn't want us to. And perhaps that's what makes Fantôme de Maules a character with such a riveting mystery. The modern world is alight with information and the shadows are shrinking. It is rare to come across someone who doesn't feel it is necessary to explain himself.

A unique tradition

The Stora Skuggan perfume brand was created in 2015 by a group of young alternative alchemists. Olle Hemmendorff and Tomas Hempel set out to create a company where freedom can be achieved in every aspect of creation: from fragrance formulation to packaging and branding.

CONTINUOUS EXPERIMENTATION WITH UNIQUE RESULTS

Stora Skuggan fragrances are derived from an autonomous identity closely linked to the tradition of craftsmanship, where the creative process becomes the basic concept of each perfume. In addition, its founders come from an art and design background, which guarantees continuous experimentation with unique results. The inspiration for the individual Stora Skuggan perfumes comes from places, feelings, emotions and everything that moves the mind.

And where exactly did the brand name come from? Stora Skuggan means "big shadow" in Swedish, it is also the name of a famous park in the center of Stockholm, the city where Stora Skuggan is located.
