About Silphium 30ml

Silphium by Stora Skuggan is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. Silphium was launched in 2017. Silphium was created by Olle Hemmendorff and Tomas Hempel. Top note is Labdanum; middle notes are Ginger, Geranium, Black Pepper, Clove, Tobacco and Cinnamon; base notes are Olibanum, Cedar, Myrhh and Leather.

"Even if one just tastes it, at once arouses a humour throughout the body and has a very healthy aroma” - Pedanius Dioscorides, around year 70 BC "Silphium (probably of the genus Ferula) was a plant that grew in the area of Cyrene, present day Libya, and was widely renowned as a spice, medicinal herb and perfume ingredient throughout the empires of the classical antiquity. It was praised by Greek philosophers and writers, as well as Roman emperors and cookbook authors. There were many attempts to cultivate Silphium, but they inevitably failed. It would only grow wild in a limited area of the north African coast. This is combination with its qualities as seasoning and medicine made Silphium the most valuable spice in the world, outshining both saffron and cinnamon. The demand for Silphium eventually became so overwhelming that it was harvested to extinction, and the taste and smell of the once greatest spice in the world was lost in time. Our rendition of this historical plant is created by researching surviving assumed relatives of Silphium, using aromachemicals (the molecular building blocks of scents) to create an accord that we feel represents what descriptions remains. This is set against a background of ancient incense, woods and leather" - Stora Skuggan. Silphium features top notes of Silphium accord and Cistus. The heart notes are Cinnnamon, Black Pepper, Tobacco, Ginger, Geranium and Clove. Base notes are Frankincense, Myrrh, Cedarwood and Leather. The perfumers behind Silphium are Olle Hemmendorff and Tomas Hempel.
