“Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands” – Bem in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
A Mistpouffer is an inexplicable natural sound, a sonic boom resembling distant cannon fire seemingly coming from the fog over large lakes or rivers. It has been recorded worldwide throughout history and is the source of many legends. In Japan, the phenomenon is called uminari, meaning “scream from the sea.” In Connecticut, Machimoodus State Park got its name from the Native American name for the area, meaning “place of bad sounds.”
Representing this mysterious phenomenon as a fragrance was as elusive as the sound itself, and it took the perfume studio Stora Skuggan four years to find the right balance between being distinct and inexplicable to capture the impression they wanted to create. Foggy but not aquatic, smoky but not heavy. Natural and supernatural in equal parts.
