Stora Skuggan
Stockholm's most imaginative perfume house turns folklore and surrealism into wearable art you'll never forget.
Stora Skuggan, meaning "The Great Shadow" in Swedish, is a niche perfume house handcrafted in Stockholm. Founded in 2015 by five multidisciplinary design students, every fragrance is a scented story that blends folklore, surrealism and playful storytelling into something completely original. From the licorice-drenched Hexensalbe to the mysterious Moonmilk, each scent is a wearable artwork, conceived and produced entirely by hand, from formula to packaging. The name references a remote area of northern Sweden known for its untouched natural beauty. Wally is proud to be one of the few Stora Skuggan NZ stockists, carrying a curated selection of their distinctive fragrances.
