Stora Skuggan Hexensalbe is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2023. Hexensalbe opens with Licorice and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Angelica, Belladonna, Tuberose, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Black Hemlock, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Stora Skuggan's Hexensalbe carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Divisive, intriguing, and definitely not a blind buy. Hexensalbe is a polarising licorice-herb bomb that some will adore for its witchy charm, while others will recoil from its medicinal, earthy funk.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date

Hexensalbe's unique, strong herbal and licorice profile makes it unsuitable for most office environments, as it could be quite polarising. It leans better into date nights, where its mysterious and sensual qualities can be appreciated by closer contacts, or for specific casual outings where a bold statement is desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Hexensalbe opens with a powerful, almost medicinal blast of licorice and wormwood, like a forgotten herbal elixir. This sharp, aromatic beginning quickly softens, revealing a mysterious heart of angelica and belladonna, with hints of subtle tuberose and fresh rosemary. The dry down is a grounding blend of black hemlock, earthy patchouli, and damp oakmoss, evoking a dark, mossy forest floor rather than a polished scent.
