Poetic compositions from the land of fire and ice
Iceland is a place that captivates with the wild beauty of its contrasts — a unique blend of primal force and modernity. A land shaped by volcanoes, glaciers, and rugged coastlines, marked by the power of roaring winds, the scent of wet stone and wood, and the mystical silence that lingers between fjords and lava fields.
The island’s breathtaking landscapes set the stage for countless myths and legends and serve as both inspiration and fertile ground for the creativity of its people. For years, Iceland has inspired the global music and fashion scenes with its distinctiveness and authenticity.
It is here, where fire and ice collide and nature is an inseparable part of daily life, that the family-run fragrance house Fischersund was founded in 2017. The creative collective behind the brand consists of siblings Jónsi, Lilja, Ingibjörg, Sigurrós, and their partners Sindri and Kjartan. Their vision is to capture the unmistakable energy and wild, romantic soul of Iceland in their fragrance creations.
Melancholic sounds & scents with depth
Jónsi is not only the self-taught nose behind Fischersund’s perfumes, but also a member of the renowned Icelandic band Sigur Rós. Sigur Rós is known for their ability to evoke intense emotional responses, whether through powerful post-rock intensity or soothing ambient soundscapes. With their innovative music, they have pushed genre boundaries and won over a loyal fanbase worldwide.
Their music feels as if it rises directly from the earth — from steaming fissures, the spray of the North Atlantic, and the endless expanses where light and darkness chase each other. What Sigur Rós captures in sound, Fischersund translates into fragrance: a sensory portrait of Iceland, with its raw, mystical, and untamed beauty. These are no simple chords, but layered compositions that have the power to trigger deep, immediate emotions.
Nordic sensuality
The historic black house in downtown Reykjavík, once Jónsi’s music studio, has been transformed into the heart of the brand: a perfumery with an extraordinary atmosphere. Wooden beams from old ships and an antique organ casing, now repurposed as a “perfume organ” to display the scents, set the tone. Here, harmonious blends of nostalgia, poetry, and music are turned into creative fragrance compositions.
All of Fischersund’s fragrance products are inspired by the raw, unique nature of Iceland. Using herbs and oils harvested sustainably from the Icelandic wilderness, the brand represents a union of creative craftsmanship and respect for nature. The perfumes are hand-filled in Iceland, sustainably packaged, vegan, and cruelty-free.
Olfactory magic
Whether mystical, warm, or refreshing — Fischersund is for those who seek authenticity, depth, and a hint of Nordic mysticism. The fragrances are profound and earthy yet light, combining artistry, craftsmanship, and olfactory magic into unmistakable scent experiences. In addition to perfumes, Fischersund also offers scented candles, room sprays, and other fragrance products, all of which carry the essence of the Icelandic landscape.
With Fischersund, a space has been created where art, music, and scent come together to form a complex, immersive experience. Fischersund is the reflection of a creative family and their homeland — a place of unparalleled wonder. Discover the Icelandic scents of Fischersund.
