Pine! It’s soooooo pine. Camp fire smoke and fresh cold air combine in a fragrance both bracing and comforting.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, quiet spaces where the air feels cold and clean but the room carries a faint trace of smoke. It suits someone who likes their presence to feel grounded and elemental rather than polished, as if they have just come in from the trees.
How to wear
Best in cool weather, where its resinous wood and smoky warmth can unfold without feeling heavy. One or two sprays are enough: it has strong longevity and a controlled, steady projection, so it wears well close to the skin while still leaving a clear woody trail in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like singular, material-driven scents with a naturalistic edge: pine, woods, resin and smoke rather than sweetness or perfume gloss. It will appeal to people drawn to austere, atmospheric compositions that feel outdoorsy, tactile and a little meditative.

The nose
Tomas Hempe. Hempe is part of Stora Skuggan’s Stockholm-based creative core, working at the intersection of perfumery and design. His approach here is unusually direct: instead of building a narrative composition, he turns a single material into something textured, atmospheric and surprisingly dimensional. That restraint suits his broader style, which tends to privilege concept, material clarity and tactile contrast over decorative complexity. In Pine, he makes pine feel less like a cliché of freshness and more like a living tree: resinous, woody, faintly smoky and grounded in the cold air of the forest.
Collaborators
Stora Skuggan’s founding team shaped the fragrance’s concept and presentation, with the house’s design-led studio approach guiding Pine as a deliberately stripped-back soliflore rather than one of its usual myth-driven narratives.
Stora Skuggan’s story
Stora Skuggan is a Stockholm niche house built on concept, craft and a slightly surreal sense of storytelling. Its perfumes are made in-house with a strong design sensibility, and the brand likes to blur the line between folklore, imagination and material reality while keeping the work precise and hands-on.
PINE’s concept
Pine was launched in 2024 as the eighth fragrance from Stora Skuggan, and it stands out in the house’s line for its singular focus. Instead of a layered story concept, it takes pine itself as the subject and explores it in multiple states: fresh shoots, resin, bark, smoke and the damp, earthy memory of the forest.
Extra info
Pine is Stora Skuggan’s eighth fragrance and one of its most minimal concepts: the note pyramid is simply pine across top, heart and base. Despite that simplicity, it develops into a layered impression of sap, bark, forest floor and smoke, with notably long wear.
