Over nearly a century, it spread from the botanical aristocracy to London street hawkers and countryside cottage windows. But at the turn of the twentieth century, the flower suddenly lost its scent—not just in domesticated plants, but in wild specimens as well. Botanists in North America reported that the uncultivated flowers had also lost their fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis puzzling mystery was the hottest topic among biology conspiracy theorists for decades, but no explanation was ever found. Eventually, the subject faded into obscurity, along with the flower’s popularity as a houseplant. By then, the flowers had spread into the wild and can sometimes still be found living a quiet life in parts of Europe and New Zealand—perhaps just biding their time before returning to the olfactory stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFragrance Notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop: Tussilago, Sunscreen\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle: Fig, Buttercup, Chamomile, Goldberry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBase: Musk, Hay\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSame Day pickup for curbside orders containing samples is not available.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShipped orders containing samples will be picked and processed in 1-3 business days.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stora Skuggan","offers":[{"title":"1 ml","offer_id":46219568873623,"sku":"10090927","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0418\/0662\/6967\/files\/stora-skuggan-monekyflower-edp-sample.png?v=1765924733","url":"https:\/\/www.smallflower.com\/products\/stora-skuggan-sample-monkeyflower-edp-1-ml","provider":"Smallflower","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
