Description
Fischersund No. 23 channels the rugged elements of Iceland’s coast, weaving smoky tar, salty ocean air, and lingering pipe tobacco into a truly transportive olfactory experience. This scent unfolds with an addictive interplay of peppery spice, aromatic conifer, and the warmth of birch tar and ambergris, evoking the memory of oil-stained hands and windswept Reykjavik docks. Its blend of industrial and natural elements captures a dichotomy of grit and beauty, perfect for those seeking a fragrance as evocative as it is singular. No. 23’s immersive character is both nostalgic and bold, wrapped in the brand's signature artistic packaging. Created by Jónsi for unisex.
