Stora Skuggan - Monkeyflower

Monkeyflower is a fragrance built around one of botany's great unsolved mysteries - a flower beloved across Victorian England for its rich musk scent, that at the turn of the twentieth century simply lost it. No explanation was ever found. Stora Skuggan attempts to reconstruct what was lost.

The Musk Monkeyflower was imported to Europe from the American west coast and became a smash hit in Victorian England. But at the turn of the twentieth century, the flower suddenly lost its scent - not just in domesticated plants, but in wild specimens as well. This puzzling mystery was the hottest topic among biology conspiracy theorists for decades, but no explanation was ever found.
