Fischersund No. 101
Fischersund No. 101 captures the ethereal, fresh green scent of the herbaceous backyards of Reykjavík. The short summers in Iceland are made longer by its 24 hours of light. Soaking up the 4:00 a.m. rays of radiant sunshine while the smells and sounds of the season breathe life into the heart of the city. And as soon as people fall in love with the warm weather, summer quickly fades to winter's frozen grasp.
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
The launch is accompanied by Bakgarðar, a whimsical song composed by Jónsi, Sin Fang and Kjartan Holm that interprets the scent available via a QR code. Each bottle is hand-poured and hand-wrapped in a sustainable Fischersund No. 101 Bandana featuring imaginative illustrations inspired by the new scent drawn by the skillful hands of Fischersund sibling and co-founder, Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir. These signature bandanas have quickly become collectors' items donning necks, hair, and wrists of people near and far.
Notes: chervil, Arctic angelica, black currant, withered grass, bergamot, cottonwood, poplar pine, red sorrel, whiff of smoke

Returns
We do not accept returns of perfumes, simply because perfumes can't be resold once they've been opened and used. We encourage you to order samples before purchasing full bottles of perfume. And here's the good news — with every sample purchased, we'll send you a coupon code that allows you to redeem the cost of the sample and sample shipping if you buy a full bottle of the fragrance you tried (in other words, you get $10 off).
Please contact orders@ministryofscent.com if you have a question or issue related to your order or shipping.
Sample Orders
Samples are designed to help you evaluate scents you might want to later purchase as a full bottle. You may order one sample per fragrance, up to 15 total in a single order. Samples are non-refundable.
For sample orders, please check your packing slip for a special code that will allow you to redeem the price of samples and sample shipping when purchase full bottles of the scents you sample ($10 off full bottles).
Complimentary Samples
We provide complimentary samples with $75+ full bottle purchases. You may request up to 3 samples with any qualifying order. Please use the Order Note section on the Shopping Cart overlay to let us know which complimentary samples you would like. We'll try to provide the scents you've requested, but substitutions may occur if items are out of stock.
Unique and Ice Cold!
Love this scent. It’s fresh and mossy.
Good sample sizes for testing new fragrances and not too expensive at $5 for each
This really does smell like the description. Herbaceous but with something cold to it, like winter is creeping in. Like the November sun. Wish it was slightly stronger but honestly would be a great everyday scent.
