Stora Skuggan Thumbsucker is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2020, created by Olle Hemmendorff. Thumbsucker opens with Narcissus and Honey, settles into a heart of Violet and Cherry, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Almond, Beeswax, and Styrax. Stora Skuggan's Thumbsucker carries an Acquired verdict, a honey-led wear.

This one is a real love-or-hate, Marmite kind of scent. Some can't get enough of its unique, nostalgic character, while others find it simply unwearable, like old potpourri or even a urinal cake. Definitely try before you buy this divisive concoction.

With its strong projection and pronounced sweetness, Thumbsucker is a bit much for the office. However, its unique and sensual character makes it a strong contender for date nights, offering a memorable and alluring presence. For casual wear, a light hand is crucial due to its intensity, and it's too unconventional for formal events or sport.

About

Thumbsucker opens with a honeyed thwack of narcissus, immediately joined by a distinct, sometimes medicinal, cherry note. The sweetness is profound, morphing into a powdery violet heart. Hints of clean cedar, bittersweet almond, and a waxy styrax-beeswax base eventually emerge, creating a complex, vintage-leaning accord that divides opinion. It's thick, sweet, and oddly compelling.
