The Fischersund FLOTHOLT Scent Survival Kit transforms one of the Icelandic fragrance house's most atmospheric creations into an immersive ritual inspired by the sea, survival, and hope. FLOTHOLT was originally created in 2022 in celebration of the Sigur Rós World Tour, taking its name from the Icelandic word for the round lifesaving ring thrown into the water during a rescue. Fischersund conceived the scent as a ritual of hope, imagining a small symbol of safety and human connection floating against the immense darkness of the North Atlantic.
The fragrance itself evokes the raw elements of Iceland's coastline: cold air over dark water, salt and seaweed, evergreen trees, weathered materials, and smoke drifting from charred wood. Sitka spruce and citrus provide a crisp, coniferous freshness before cypress, mineral salt, and seaweed bring the ocean into focus. Smoke, ambergris, and musk add warmth and depth, creating the impression of burnt driftwood, worn leather, and skin exposed to cold sea air.
Flotholt Scent Survival Kit Contents:
- 5 ml Flotholt Fragrance Spray
- Single Serving of Icelandic Tea
- 3 Flotholt fragrance cones
The FLOTHOLT Scent Survival Kit expands this evocative fragrance beyond traditional perfume, creating a multisensory experience designed to surround you with the scent's dark, salty, woody atmosphere. More than a fragrance gift set, it reflects Fischersund's unique approach to scent as art, ritual, memory, and place.

FLOTHOLT begins with cold air and evergreen freshness before plunging into the mineral salinity of the sea. Cypress and seaweed evoke the Icelandic coastline, while smoke, ambergris, and musk introduce warmth and a tactile, weathered quality. The contrast creates a scent that is hauntingly beautiful rather than conventionally aquatic.
The FLOTHOLT Story
A flotholt is a lifesaving float: a simple object that can become extraordinarily important when someone is lost in the water. Against the imagery of Iceland's dark, cold ocean, Fischersund uses it as a metaphor for hope, rescue, and human connection.
Originally connected to the 2022 Sigur Rós World Tour, FLOTHOLT reflects the creative world shared by music and fragrance within Fischersund. It is a reminder that even amid darkness and uncertainty, something small can keep us afloat.
