Moonmilk
by Stora Skuggan
Moonmilk by Stora Skuggan is a modern, unisex sandalwood-centric fragrance that opens with a bright, creamy blend of cardamom, lime, and sandalwood, evoking a sense of crisp cleanliness and herbal warmth. The central woodiness, rich and smooth in quality, is supported by a subtle green and aromatic undercurrent from tea and lily-of-the-valley notes. As it develops, the scent shifts into a quietly compelling leather-ambergis base, layered with a balsamic, labdanum-like depth that brings depth and persistence without being overwhelming. The fragrance’s evolution is smooth and discreet, making it suitable for both day and night wear, with a moderate sillage that is felt more than projected. Its longevity is moderate to long, though some find it fades quickly. It is most appreciated in cooler months, particularly autumn and winter, and its elegant, balanced character suits a refined, introspective personality.
