Fischersund No. 23 Eau de Parfum is an atmospheric Icelandic fragrance that feels less like a conventional perfume and more like a memory of the country's raw, elemental landscape. Created by Reykjavík-based Fischersund, the family-run fragrance house founded by siblings Jónsi, Lilja Birgisdóttir, Inga Birgisdóttir, and Sigurrós Birgisdóttir, No. 23 reflects the brand's deeply sensory approach to perfumery, where scent, art, music, and place become inseparable.
No. 23 conjures an Icelandic world of damp earth, cold air, smoke, weathered wood, and wild vegetation. Black pepper and elemi lend a bright, resinous spice before the fragrance moves into an earthy heart of tobacco and Icelandic Sitka spruce. Patchouli and animalic musk deepen the composition, while the unusual addition of rhubarb introduces a tart, green brightness that cuts through the darker woods and smoke. The result is rugged yet intimate, mysterious yet strangely comforting, capturing the feeling of stepping inside from the Icelandic wilderness with its traces still clinging to your clothes.
