Character & development on the skin

Fragrance profile

In antiquity, silphium was the most precious spice in the world – spice, remedy and perfume ingredient all in one, praised by Greek philosophers and Roman emperors. It grew only in the wild on the North African coast. Every attempt to cultivate it failed. Demand was so great that the plant was simply driven to extinction.

Stora Skuggan researched the plant’s surviving relatives and used aroma chemicals to build an accord that matches what the ancient descriptions have left behind.

Around this accord lies a spice chamber: black pepper, ginger and clove in the opening, then cinnamon, tobacco and geranium, supported by resinous cistus.

The base is old frankincense, cedarwood, myrrh and leather – the scent of a temple in which incense has been burned for two thousand years.

Who is this fragrance for?

WHEN & HOW TO WEAR IT

Silphium is the darkest and densest fragrance in the collection – spicy, resinous and leathery. It belongs to cold evenings and to occasions when you are allowed to leave an impression.

- dates, special occasions and cold evenings
- autumn and winter – spicy, leathery and resinous
- very long-lasting with a powerful, room-filling sillage

The owner was wonderfully warm and really took her time with me, even though I turned up at the last minute. Honestly, the advice was some of the best I’ve ever had – I immediately felt welcome and in good hands. What I especially loved: there was zero sales pressure. I could take my time smelling, just go with the flow, and even left with a few small samples of my favourites.

Super-fast delivery, first-class quality and free samples with a personal note from the owners on top. It really doesn’t get any better. From now on, this is the only place I’ll order my perfumes!

Friendly and reliable contact, lovingly packed with a handwritten note, samples of my choice and a little extra on top. Absolutely unbeatable!

I’m usually a regular at the other well-known perfumery in Mannheim, but today I tried Essence Garden for the first time, looking for a new coconut fragrance. The advice I received was excellent: the lady was very knowledgeable and friendly and left a wonderful impression. A truly fantastic shop – 10 out of 10!

Packed with incredible effort and attention to detail, plus little extras. Unpacking the parcel felt like unwrapping a present. A wonderful experience! Shipping was also really quick. I’m very happy and can only give it my wholehearted recommendation! 10/10!

Really wonderful perfumery with super friendly owners. The advice was great – they took their time without ever being pushy. The selection of fragrances is excellent. To top it all off, I was given a free sample of my choice. Service like that can’t be taken for granted. I’ll definitely be back.

I’d ordered a few samples online. Everything arrived very quickly, was packed really nicely, and there was an extra sample and a handwritten greeting card too. All done with so much care. Absolutely top – it doesn’t get better than this.
