The Story
Born from the artistry of an Icelandic family collective, this set channels the world of Fischersund—where music, craftsmanship, and memory meet in the raw stillness of winter.

Each piece feels like a chapter of Reykjavík in the dark months: smoke curling from chimneys, earth thawing beneath frost, and the quiet hum of creation indoors. Built around warmth and shadow, it carries tobacco’s hush, the spice of anise, and the grounding calm of moss and vetiver. The tin case, hand-finished by the founders’ father, holds not just three creations but the spirit of a household steeped in art and scent. A celebration of making things by hand, and of the beauty found when daylight fades.

The Brand

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.
