Eau de Parfum

It started with the idea of creating a hangover perfume, a sweet and comforting cloud to fill the void of chemical anxiety we find ourselves in after too much of a good time. A scent of hedonistic self-soothing, with an aspect of craving for intimacy. The name Thumbsucker represents this compulsive need of physical contact and existential comfort. — Stora Skuggan

“Ravishing, juicy, Technicolor cherry-nectar opening. Deep red and fruity-fresh without that “candy” edge that I personally dislike. The sweetness is all beeswax and florals, no corn syrup. There’s even a hint of outdoorsy mountaintop cedar to keep it grounded—this is all happening in the fresh air. Can’t get enough of it in my nose; it’s a honey trap and I wanna drown in it.

After that brassy, rich, Phil Spektor wall-of-sound warmup, it settles into a pop groove. It’s still fruity and honeyed and comforting. As a whole piece, it’s pretty singular.” — marieberd, Fragrantica
