Hidden in Iceland at the foot of Vestrahorn mountain lies one of the most beautiful beaches on the planet with its wild and mysterious qualities.

2. Andrea Maack Dual EDP - Inspired by the calming water of the natural hot springs in the Icelandic highlands, this fragrance mimics the feeling of fresh water on the skin and the intense color spectrum surrounding the hot spring lagoons. The powerful, uplifting aromas of ginger, lemon and pink pepper coexists with the grounded woody elements of dry amber and cedar wood resulting in an enlivening scent experience. It is a woody spicy fragrance that launched in 2016 and features top notes of lemon and ginger; a middle note of pink pepper; and base notes of cedar and amber.
3. Andrea Maack Osmo EDP - Stand on the edge of Iceland's legendary Reynisfjara black beach. Cold sea mist hits your skin. Waves crash against ancient basalt columns. That's Osmo. It opens with a bracing burst of salty marine air, bright orange, and sparkling pink pepper — then softens into a creamy heart of jasmine and iris, like sunlight warming volcanic stone. The dry down lingers with earthy oakmoss, cedarwood and clean musk — cool, grounding and utterly addictive. With top notes of orange, marine notes and pink pepper; middle notes of jasmine and orris; and base notes of cedarwood, oakmoss and musk. Created by Dominique Ropion.
4. Fischersund FLÓÐ EDP - This limited edition fragrance is made for FLÓÐ, a spatial scent, sound and light sculpture by Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson. His main inspiration is the ocean, this ominous and mysterious force playing a central part in our lives. It’s basically about “the big wave,” a wave that takes us all and destroys everything in its path. The effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, flooding, and intensified natural disasters, are happening all around us, and this piece is a reflection of that dire reality. FLÓÐ is an aromatic fragrance that launched in 2024 and features key elements of Icelandic seaweed, scorched Siberian pine, acrid air, geosmin and Ambroxan. From literature from the brand: The big wave. Nearly everything is underwater. The weather is still but has been unpredictable so far. With briny tar and smoke trails flittering through the air. Chimney tops and statue heads break the surface, and few floating structures survive the watery destruction. We all saw the warning signs but chose to scroll by in our little lives, and now, I guess, it's too late. Everything is silent except for ghostly voices - echoing ship horns, and the big wave breaking in the distance. Unsure if this is real - my imagination or past memories? Dark clouds surround me but a ray of light breaks through. Is it guiding me?
5. Fischersund Flotholt EDP - The first-ever Sigur Rós x Fischersund limited edition fragrance, Flotholt was created by singer and perfumer Jónsi Birgisson in celebration of the Sigur Rós 2022 World Tour starting in Europe and ending in Iceland. Flotholt features notes of amber, bergamot, birch tar, fresh air, seaweed, dirt, grass and vetiver. It is handmade in Iceland, wildcrafted sustainably.
6. Fischersund Joklalyt EDT - A fragrance collaboration between Fischersund and 66° North which is an Icelandic outerwear brand. It was launched in celebration of Glacier Friday on November 24, 2023 as an “ode to Icelandic glaciers” and to raise awareness of their disappearance with global warming. It features notes of airy notes, geosmin, soil tincture and woody notes. From their website: Sculptures floating in salty water. Distant rumbles disturb the heavy silence. Ancient soil under ice, waiting. Wet socks, runny nose, condensed breath. Humbled amidst the endless white. Landscape carved, minerals released. Heavy glass sheets. Collapsing. The name Jöklalykt literally translates to “glaciers’ smell”: jökla = glaciers; lykt = smell.
7. Fischersund No. 101 EDP - Inspired by the unruly yet beautiful backyards of Reykjavik, No. 101 captures the essence of Iceland's short yet luminous summers, extended by the perpetual daylight. It evokes the aromas and sounds of urban summer life, echoing the heart of the city. And as quickly as summer arrives, it yields to the icy grip of winter. Weathered garden chairs stacked against the wall. A flower pot filled with rain and cigarette butts sits on the uprooted pavement now swallowed by chervil. Echoes of a nearby party. Fingers digging up sorrel and dandelions. Freshly fallen snow on a forgotten trampoline. Black currants fall from bare branches, one by one.With top notes of blackcurrant and chervil; middle notes of cumin, cypriol and lily; and base notes of limbwood, musk and vanilla.
8. Fischersund No. 23 EDP - Their inaugural fragrance inspired by Old Reykjavik. Described as: Smoke in the air and tarred telephone poles, tall freshly mowed grass, and tobacco leaves. Dead flowers bow to the ground. In the breeze, the feminine fountain pine tickles the top of your skull. A beached whale is about to explode. It evokes nostalgia and heritage and is rooted in the perfumer's memories of working alongside his father on the big ships that frequented the old harbor. No. 23, captures the essence of oil-stained hands, a feeling of industry and salty ocean air mixed with the aroma of pipe tobacco. With top notes of bergamot, black pepper and licorice; middle notes of cypress and Siberian fir; and base notes of birch tar, ambergris and patchouli.
9. Fischersund No. 54 EDP - This fragrance pays homage to the perfumer's father's workshop. Described as: Fresh coat of varnish on a wooden shed. Uprooted moss, wet dirt and vetiver roots. Burnt car tires on hot asphalt and dry patchouli. Heavy slow-drying oil painting. Icelandic alpine fir, footsteps in frozen grass and salt liquorice. Dirty leather, animalistic musk and ammonia. No. 54 features top notes of bergamot, grapefruit and varnish; middle notes of mountain pine and spice; and base notes of cedarwood, leather and vetiver.
10. Fischersund No. 8 EDP - Inspired by memories of a childhood growing up in a small village called Mosfellssveit just outside the city. This fresh scent channels the feeling of endless days spent outdoors, riding bikes, and exploring nature with all the freedom of childhood, along with the anticipation of the delivery of baked goods their grandmother would bring weekly. Described as: Scent of brand new sneakers crushing fresh flower stalks against hot asphalt. Mouth full of lemon candy and fingers sticky with motor oil. Stolen rhubarb from a neighbor’s garden, peeled, slathered in honey and chewed on. Orange cake crumble in the pocket of freshly washed clothes. Arctic wind blowing through hair in a damp pine forest. No. 8 features top notes of rhubarb, grapefruit and petitgrain; middle notes of Sitka spruce and birch leaf; and base notes of balsam fir, amber and asphalt.
11. Fischersund Utilykt EDP - Launched in 2021 as a collaboration with 66° North, the Icelandic outdoor heritage brand.

It features top notes of ozone, bergamot and grass; middle notes of seaweed and Siberian fir; and base notes of moss, vetiver and ambergris.
12. History Icelandic Wool EDP – An oriental woody fragrance that launched in 2024. The history of Icelandic wool begins with the arrival of the Norse settlers in the late 9th century and by the medieval period, wool had become one of the cornerstones of the Icelandic economy. The islanders depended on it not only for clothing but also for trade. Icelandic Wool weaves a tale of rugged tranquility. With its crisp, frosted pine top notes and the warm embrace of cozy cashmere at its heart, it's a scent that captures the dichotomy of Iceland's untamed landscapes and the comfort of a snug sweater. With notes of plum, pine, musk, cashmere musk, leather, clove, cinnamon, lavender, caramel, amber and grapefruit.
13. Love Olfactive Icelandic Salt EDP - Stand at the edge of the world. Cold spray rising off the North Atlantic, the air so clean it almost stings. Icelandic Salt opens sharp and bracing, a rush of sea mist and ozone carrying the mineral bite of saltwater across the shore. The heart is elemental: glacial air, weathered stone, the briny depth of the ocean itself, vast and quiet and impossibly clear. It dries down into something softer, driftwood smoothed by centuries of tide, a whisper of white musk holding the last of the salt against skin. Stark, beautiful and endlessly cold. It features top notes of sea mist, ozone and Atlantic salt; middle notes of glacial air and weathered stone; and base notes of driftwood, white musk and mineral amber.
14. Sixteen92 Gryla EDP - Inspired by Icelandic folklore, Grýla is the icy matriarch of Winter and the Christmas Witch of Iceland. She lives in the mountains with her giant black cat, Jólakötturinn, and snaps up naughty children to add to her stew. She comes down only during the holidays and her fragrance is as chilling as she is. Reminiscent of a blustery winter night, it brings to mind crisp air and crunchy snow and the whisper of danger looming in the shadowy treeline. With notes of frigid cave walls, dense mountain fog, wild currant, elderberry wine, dry branches, rock moss, black-sooted fur, glittering aurora, dryas flower and an iron kettle.
