Stora Skuggan Silphium Eau de Parfum is inspired by one of history's greatest botanical mysteries. Silphium was a legendary plant that grew in the ancient Greek city of Cyrene, in present-day Libya, and was so prized that it appeared on coins, fueled international trade, and was valued alongside gold. Revered for its culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties, the plant became one of the ancient world's most sought-after treasures. Then, sometime during the first century, it vanished completely. Despite centuries of searching, no verified specimen has ever been found, making Silphium one of history's most famous extinct plants. Created by Stora Skuggan, this fragrance imagines the scent of the lost botanical, transforming a forgotten chapter of ancient history into a modern olfactory experience.

Drawing inspiration from historical accounts describing silphium's aromatic resin and complex character, the fragrance blends bright spices, herbal nuances, florals, and rich resins to evoke the allure of a plant that once captivated an empire. Mysterious, sophisticated, and imaginative, Silphium embodies Stora Skuggan's fascination with mythology, history, and the unknown.
