PINE

PINE is the eighth perfume from STORA SKUGGAN. This fragrance diverges
from the brand’s conceptual myths (booming unexplained sounds, spices
harvested to extinction and thumb-sucking baby gods), focusing entirely
on a single note rather than a story. In perfumery, this type of fragrance
is called a soliflore, a name that stems from a type of vase designed
to hold a single flower.

In this case... a vase holding an enormous tree.

Pines are the most abundant organisms on the planet, measured by
mass. Reaching heights of up to 100 meters, they are also some of
the largest living things. And some of the oldest too; Methuselah,
a 4856 year old bristlecone pine in White Mountains, is the oldest
known living individual plant, while the spruce Old Tjikko in Dalarna,
Sweden, has a clonal root system twice that age. The first of the pine
trees evolved over 300 million years ago, outdating both dinosaurs
and the Pole Star.

While the concept is minimal, the fragrance is massive, designed to
evoke all facets of PINE. From the fresh spruce shoot to the sweet
and sacred-smelling sap. The dry, woody aroma of bark and dead needles
blanketing an earthy forest floor.

In short, it’s PINE. It smells like PINE.
