Character & development on the skin

Fragrance profile

An Indian king accidentally drinks the magic potion intended for his queen – and becomes pregnant himself. When the child is born, he cannot nurse it. So Indra, king of the gods, slits open his thumb, because life-giving nectar rather than blood flows through his veins, and lets the boy suckle on it. That, so the legend goes, is why babies still suck their thumbs today.

Thumbsucker begins honey-sweet and powdery: honey and violet, joined by bitter almond and Himalayan cedarwood, which immediately give the whole a dry edge.

The heart is narcotic narcissus with a juicy cherry note – the moment when the fragrance tips from sweet to bewitching.

In the base, styrax balsam lies over candle wax: warm, resinous and slightly sacred, like a church just after the candles have been snuffed out. A gourmand that doesn’t want to be one.

Who is this fragrance for?

WHEN & HOW TO WEAR IT

Thumbsucker is a fragrance for cold evenings and close encounters – honey-sweet, almondy and with a waxy calm in its depths. Sweet, but never childish.

- dates, special occasions and cold evenings
- autumn and winter – sweet, gourmand and powdery
- very long-lasting with a warm, present 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.
