Introducing Kjarr, a new scent by Fischersund art collective and niche perfumery in collaboration with Icelandair and Epal. It's designed to support The Special Children Travel Fund that enables chronically ill children and those with special circumstances to fulfill their travel dreams.
This limited edition candle evokes the comforting aromatic pine essence inspired by the small, but resilient native shrubbery, kjarr that grow huddled together in Iceland, as if to support and protect one another from the harsh, unpredictable elements.
This collectable candle features a bespoke illustration by Fischersund Art Director and Co-Founder Ingibjörg Birgisdóttir representing these small but tough plants and the comforting surroundings they create. Fragrance notes include pine, fir balsam, birch and bergamot. Each candle is handmade in Iceland using high-grade perfume oils and recycled soy wax.
The candle is now available for pre-order in the Epal online shop.
Each scent from Fischersund is complemented by music, visual arts, and poetry. We recommend that you lay back, light the candle and read through this beautiful poem for Kjarr:
chance upon a thicket
shielded clearing of moss
shrubs and young conifers
gather close
tangled branches arm in arm
wind whistles close but unfelt
dance the leaves of birch
warm in the middle
the promise of fir cones
scattered, waiting to seed
creeping thyme cry beads of dew
cold oxygen drifts in glowing blue
pine needles thrown into campfire
spark, crackle, smoke, fills the sky
for a brief moment, All is.
