Where scent meets sea, and Iceland tells its story.

Step into the world of Ilmur & Sjór, where wild botanicals, windswept coastlines, and volcanic soil speak through scent. Founded in the winter of 2023 by composer and scent alchemist Nicholas Brittain Shaber, this workshop is your invitation to explore Iceland through its most intimate expression: fragrance.

In this playful, hands-on session, you’ll discover the secrets of Icelandic perfumery—from the mossy highlands to smoky birch, arctic herbs, and mineral-rich earth. You’ll learn the art of blending and balance, and then craft your very own bespoke parfum, using native ingredients sourced from Iceland’s raw and beautiful landscape.

Come curious. Leave scented fro, Iceland elemental soul. 

Your Journey to Becoming an Alchemist Includes:   
❖ Hands-on guidance in the art of natural perfume blending.  
❖ Access to a selection of rare Icelandic ingredients and essential oils.  
❖ From Lava Fields to Flowers: The Scents of Iceland.  
❖ Scent education: Learn how top, heart, and base Icelandic notes interact. 
❖ Your own custom 10ml bottle of perfume, crafted during the workshop.  
❖ A travel-sized perfume (10ml) from Ilmur & Sjór’s signature collection.

Located just steps from the Reykjavík Art Museum – Hafnarhús, our studio is a warm, quiet haven—perfect for slowing down and tuning in to your senses.

What to Bring to Your Ilmur & Sjór Workshop

(a not-so-ordinary packing list for a delightfully scented adventure)

❖ An open nose — ready to wander through jasmine dreams and citrusy sunrises.

❖Curious hands — for blending, bottling, and perhaps a little magic.

❖ A pocketful of wonder — the kind you had as a child, when everything smelled like adventure.

❖ A notebook or journal — in case your imagination gets overwhelmed by sandalwood and sage.

❖ No heavy perfume — let the day’s creations take center stage, not yesterday’s Chanel. 

❖ A playful spirit — because scent is poetry, and you’re here to write some of your own.
