Fischersund No. 101 Eau de Parfum captures the unruly beauty of Reykjavík's residential gardens during Iceland's brief, luminous summer. Green, herbal, earthy, and subtly fruity, it evokes overgrown chervil, ripening black currants, long grass, weathered wooden fences, and the cool air of a city where summer seems to disappear almost as quickly as it arrives.
No. 101 opens with tart black currants and fresh chervil, giving the fragrance an immediately green yet juicy character. An unusual heart of cumin, cypriol, and lily adds earthy spice and floral depth before settling into limbwood, musk, and vanilla.
The result is not a manicured interpretation of greenery. No. 101 feels wild and lived-in: crushed herbs growing through pavement, damp garden soil, berries falling from bare branches, and weathered wood surrounded by vegetation.

The Story of No. 101
No. 101 is inspired by the unruly yet beautiful backyards of Reykjavík and the peculiar rhythm of an Icelandic summer.
For a brief period, near-perpetual daylight encourages gardens and wild plants to grow with remarkable intensity. Fischersund imagines weathered garden chairs, rain collecting in forgotten flower pots, chervil overtaking cracked pavement, fingers digging for sorrel and dandelions, distant neighborhood parties, and black currants dropping from increasingly bare branches.
Then winter returns.
Fresh snow settles over a forgotten backyard trampoline, abruptly ending the short season of greenery.
That transition gives No. 101 much of its personality. It is not simply a green fragrance, but a scent about place, memory, weather, and the fleeting nature of an Icelandic summer.
The Fischersund Experience
Fischersund is a family-run Reykjavík perfumery and art collective known for translating Icelandic landscapes, memories, sounds, and everyday experiences into fragrance.
Each 50 ml No. 101 Eau de Parfum is handcrafted in Iceland and wrapped in a cotton bandana illustrated by Fischersund co-founder and artist Ingibjörg Birgisdottir, extending the fragrance's story into a piece of wearable art.
