Thumbsucker

A king who accidentally drank a magic potion intended for the queen ended up pregnant, and his son drank nectar from the thumb of the god Indra. STORA SKUGGAN Thumbsucker transforms this unusual lore into honey, almond, wax, and wood.

Honey, violet, and bitter almond open the composition sweet, powdery, and slightly poisonous. The honey is thick and golden, but the almond gives it a sharp edge that prevents complete childlike innocence.

Olle Hemmendorff starts from the story of King Yuvanaswa, his thirst during a ritual, and unexpected pregnancy. When Mandhata was born, Indra cut his own thumb and fed him life-giving nectar instead of blood.

Narcissus and cherry expand the strange floral-fruity middle, while candle wax, styrax, and Himalayan cedar create a warm, resinous base. On the skin, the honey becomes less edible and more balsamic.

If you want a soft almond gourmand or pure honey, narcissus, wax, and styrax might be too strange for you. Thumbsucker deliberately combines the comfort of thumb-sucking with a myth that is anything but a gentle lullaby.

In the end, honey remains on wax, with cherry and bitter almond alongside cedar — a divine thumb that feeds the child and explains a habit that the body supposedly remembers from its ancestors.
