Fischersund DARK, officially named the Skammdegi (Dark) Discovery Set, is a three-fragrance journey into the deepest days of the Icelandic winter. Skammdegi means “the shortest day,” referring to the dark heart of winter when December 21 brings fewer than four hours of daylight to Iceland. It is a season of long shadows, cold air, smoke, and an almost otherworldly quality of light, when the landscape seems to retreat into darkness and warmth is sought indoors around fires, family, and familiar rituals.

Fischersund captures this distinctly Icelandic experience through three of its deeper and more atmospheric Eau de Parfums: No. 23, No. 54, and FLOTHOLT. Together, they explore smoke, tobacco, woods, earth, musk, salt air, vetiver, and resinous warmth. Where the LIGHT Langdegi collection evokes Iceland's endless summer days, DARK embraces the opposite extreme: the beauty, mystery, and introspection of the long Nordic winter night.

Each fragrance is presented as a 5 ml Eau de Parfum spray inside a hand-treated tin box made by Birgir, father of the Fischersund siblings, adding a wonderfully personal touch to this family-run Icelandic fragrance house.
