Útilykt Fischersund 2021 Eau de Parfum

There it was again. That memory. Even though I still haven't found your scent, it flashes up whenever I perceive scents that resemble it. It happens again with Útilykt. You stand in front of me. You show me your broad grin. You take me in your strong arms and I sink into this wonderful, harsh green and cool scent, which is also warmed by amber and musk and which has stayed with me to this day. It has something of forests, lakes and soft moss, but at the same time brings a balsamic warmth with it. I think of smoking incense in the living room. With you. And a longing spreads.

You weren't a good guy back then. That probably hasn't changed to this day. And I, I'm already dedicating at least my third review to you and I've already written a blog article for you. Because I have your scent in my head. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful men's fragrance I have ever experienced. This combination of green notes, freshness, spice and a subtle sweet amber-balsamic and definitely a good dose of musk is unique to me, which is why I still seek it out today. Even after five years on Parfumo, I still haven't found this fragrance, but I still won't stop.

And in my search I end up with gems like Útilykt from the Icelandic house Fischersund. This fragrance comes very close to yours, although it is more synthetic and has nowhere near the depth that captivated me so much back then. It made me want to be close to you, even though I knew that you were only hurting me. That I was always completely indifferent to you. Nevertheless, I believe that perfumer Jón Þór Birgisson knew this scent and had it in mind when he created Útilykt. Perhaps he even wore it himself?

For me, this fragrance is therefore less about wild Icelandic nature and more about a journey into the past. With all its beautiful and also painful sides. I am convinced that this fragrance will manage to sneak into your heart and make you long for it, just as the one did for me back then. I wouldn't want to wear it myself, as it clearly has a masculine connotation for me. My husband is less of a lover of green fragrances now, so I think this fragrance will be used every now and then on a sniffing cloth and turn me back into a teenager with longings. Whenever I feel like it.

Many thanks to Floyd for the testing opportunity
