Pana Dora Skadi EDP

Description

Skadi is Pana Dora's 2025 tribute to the raw beauty of Nordic winter: bold yet refined, icy yet warm. Composed by Ibrahim Al-Zoubi, Fragrantica's own review called it "an amber on paper, a classic floral in practice," noting its densely layered, old-school delicacy that one reviewer compared in mood to Guerlain L'Heure Bleue as it dries down. It opens sparkling and frost-bright with apple, pear, and frankincense, then moves into a rose-ambrette heart before a soft, fur-like musk-vanilla base.

Scent Character

• Woody: 29%
• Floral: 21%
• Sweet: 21%
• Fresh: 14%
• Smoky & Resinous: 7%
• Spicy: 7%

Translation: a woody-floral-sweet fragrance with a Nordic-winter mood. The small resinous edge comes from a touch of frankincense in the opening, not from any agarwood in the formula.
