Monkeyflower
Eau de Parfum
The musk monkeyflower (which was so renowned for its potent scent that it was known simply as the musk plant) was imported to Europe from the American West Coast, where its sunshine-yellow blooms on downy, sticky stems can be found in meadows or along old farm tracks.
Thanks to its potent musky fragrance, the monkeyflower was a huge hit in Victorian England. For nearly a century, it spread from the botanical aristocracy to London street vendors and cottage windows. However, around the turn of the 20th century, the flower suddenly lost its fragrance—not just in domesticated plants, but also in wild specimens. Botanists in North America reported that the uncultivated flowers had also lost their scent.
For decades, this enigmatic mystery was the hottest topic among biology conspiracy theorists, yet no explanation was ever found. Eventually, the topic faded into obscurity, as did the flower's popularity as a houseplant. By then, the flowers had spread in the wild and can sometimes still be found in parts of Europe and New Zealand, where they live a quiet life—perhaps just waiting to return to the stage of scents.
