Stora Skuggan Azalai EDP

Description

Azalai by Stora Skuggan is a spicy amber Eau de Parfum for men and women, created by perfumer Olle Hemmendorff and released in 2022 as the house's sixth fragrance. It is inspired by the Azalai, the salt-and-gold caravan route through the Saharan Ténéré, and the solitary Tree of Ténéré that guided travelers for centuries. Blood orange and mint open over saffron and dried fruit, settling into amber, incense, gum acacia and Velvione.
