This scent captures maritime memories of weather-beaten ships and oil-stained hands, with black pepper, tobacco seeds, and Icelandic Sitka spruce.

Product details

The No. 23 fragrance is rooted in the perfumer’s nostalgia for the weathered shipyard where he would spend days with his metalsmith father. The smoky, leathery scent is enlivened with black pepper and crisp notes of seaweed and salt, for a blend that speaks to the pristine nature in the Nordic region. Each fragrance is handcrafted with sustainable scent molecules, wild herbs, and Icelandic oils, and comes wrapped in a cotton bandana with illustrations by Jónsi’s sister, Ingibjörg.

 

Top: Bergamot, black pepper, licorice

Heart: Cypress, Siberian fir

Base: Birch tar, amber gris, patchouli


how to use

Spray liberally on pulse points

A poem accompanies No. 23 to enhance the sensorial experience:   Smoke in the air and tarred telephone poles  

Anis seeds and black pepper, tail 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.
