Fantome de Maules
by Stora Skuggan
Fantôme de Maules by Stora Skuggan is a bright, modern green chypre with a fresh, aromatic opening that evokes dewy forest air, citrus zest, and galbanum. The scent unfolds with zesty lemon and coriander, highlighting a crisp, herbal green quality that feels both contemporary and timeless—akin to sunlight through leaves or a quiet garden shed. It settles into a soft, creamy woody base with sandalwood, vetiver, tonka bean, and subtly sweet musk, giving it a gentle, elegant warmth. Projections are moderate with a lasting presence on skin and fabric, making it suitable for daily wear, particularly in spring and summer. It's widely regarded as unisex, offering a delicate balance of green, spice, and creamy sweetness that feels refined and wearable without being flashy. While some find the dry-down slightly underwhelming or generic, many appreciate its coherent design and quiet elegance, especially for those seeking a fresh, green-based scent with a sophisticated, quiet allure.
