In his 'Descriptio Montis Fracti sive Montis Pilati' from 1555, he chronicles his climb to the summit of Mount Pilatus, but we also get to follow him into the caves of the Alps.

Made by hand in Stockholm these unusual fragrances in beautifully designed bottles are definitely not for everyone. With mysterious names and stories, characteristic Scandinavian aesthetics and a unique approach to individual ingredients, a group of young Swedish alchemists comes up with very different perfumes that confidently play with the established rules. And that's only one of the great things about them...
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.
