A Mistpouffer is an unexplained natural sound, a sonic boom like distant cannon fire that seems to come out of the fog over large lakes or rivers. It has been recorded all over the world throughout history, and is the source of many legends. Despite scientific attempts to understand the sounds, its source has still not been identified. Possible explanations include solar winds resonating in the atmosphere, underground earthquakes or gas bubbles being released from the deep. Others believe it is the work of extraterrestrial or subsurface civilisations.
Rendering this mystical water thunder as a fragrance was as elusive as the sound itself. We spent four years and hundreds of iterations before finding the right balance between being distinctive and inexplainable. The honeyed hay of immortelle dapples sunshine across deep green siblings vetiver and cypriol. It’s foggy but not aquatic, smoky but not heavy. Natural, but in equal parts supernatural.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
A quiet morning before the city gathers speed: damp air at an open window, wool against the skin, a moment of stillness before leaving. Mistpouffer’s green woods and diffuse smoke suit this restrained register, while honeyed immortelle keeps the atmosphere from feeling austere.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cool weather, when the green fig leaf and pine can contrast with the warmer immortelle and earthy woods. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms, leaving room for the transparent smoky character to unfold. In warmer conditions, use a lighter application to keep the honeyed facets understated.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to green, woody fragrances with an abstract edge rather than obvious aquatic freshness. It suits a taste for earthy vetiver, dry cypriol and restrained smoke, with enough honeyed warmth to soften the composition without turning it into a conventional gourmand.

The nose
Tomas Hempel is credited with Mistpouffer, although Stora Skuggan describes its perfumery as a collective practice rather than assigning sole authorship. The composition reflects the studio’s experimental approach: translating an abstract phenomenon into a distinctive scent through contrasts of green earthiness, honeyed warmth and transparent smoke.
Stora Skuggan’s story
Stora Skuggan is a Stockholm fragrance studio that builds small imagined worlds around myths and unexplained phenomena. Fragrance, artwork and packaging are developed in-house as parts of the same creative process. The house embraces both natural materials and synthetics, choosing them for their expressive possibilities rather than an all-natural claim.
Mistpouffer’s concept
Mistpouffer takes its name from a mysterious, cannon-like sound associated with fog over large bodies of water. The fragrance translates that elusive image into a composition intended to feel foggy without being aquatic and smoky without heaviness. Development took four years and hundreds of iterations, balancing a misty, transparent atmosphere with a clearly defined olfactory identity.
Extra info
The official note list places malt sugar alongside ozone, smoke and fig leaf—an unusual combination that echoes the fragrance’s balance of sweetness and atmospheric abstraction. Its product narrative also includes a quotation attributed to Bem in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, used as a storytelling reference.
