The bottle passed around as logs go on the fire.

The first collaboration between Fischersund and Farmers Market, the Icelandic design house: two of the country's creative families and a shared idea of what it is to gather outdoors in Iceland. An afternoon that stretches into evening, the comfort of ritual, the warmth of a tradition kept outside.

Cedarwood and cypress, earthy, with woodsmoke at the end. Fresh hay over them, pastoral, and cool air. Suede and marzipan sit between, the marzipan sweet the way a memory is. The house's own pictures of it: a barn with dry hay in it, trousers stained by grass and a wool sweater fraying at the cuff, sugared pancakes rolled and stacked in a biscuit tin, a marshmallow burning on a birch branch, singing that carries across a summer night.

Fischersund is a family-run perfumery and art collective anchored in downtown Reykjavík, where musician, visual artist, and self-taught perfumer Jónsi — lead vocalist of Sigur Rós — joined siblings Lilja, Ingibjörg, and Sigurrós, along with partners Sindri and Kjartan, to build something that resists easy category. Founded in 2017, it operates out of a space that is simultaneously a shop, a gallery, a venue, and an installation — a place designed, in the brand's own words, to let the senses synthesize and harmonize.

At the center of the practice is handcrafted fragrance: perfumes that are hand-blended and hand-poured in Iceland, drawn from oils and herbs sourced from the Icelandic wild, and packaged sustainably. Lead artisan Sigurrós Birgisdóttir oversees production in the Súðarvogur workshop, where each scent is developed in close conversation with the bespoke music and visual work the collective produces. The result is a body of work in which scent, sound, and image arrive together — not as adjacencies, but as a single sensory argument.
