Flotholt

I really enjoy this perfume. I really suck at describing and explaining so I rather paint a picture based on my experience with this scent. I get the vivid image of that one scene in Twilight when they are at the beach in the middle of fall. Chill breeze, gloomy, yet refreshing due to the nature of the beach and forestry nearby. It's a gloomy day in a Washington beach. There's nothing green about it, I really don't get any seaweed on this. At the start you get blasted with a salty breeze and some marine like tones. The breeze is chilling yet comforting. There's a hint of smoke at the start, nothing overwhelming but noticeable in the start. As it dries down it stays salty/marine like with hints of something slightly green/woody I would say maybe it's the cypress note. I love the whole experience and in three words this perfume is Melancholic, comforting, chilling. It's nothing groundbreaking but if you're really into gloomy and meditative scents. This one is worth picking up. It's been 3 hours and I still get whiffs from the small decant sprayer I got. still lingering and honestly can imagine this will easily last over 6 hours so definitely worth it on that end if that matters to you.

This is an absolutely amazing fragrance, not one that I am entirely new to however. Flotholt was my first introduction to Fischersund. There is an amazing burnt forest fire after it’s been put out by rain smokey note accompanied by a light peet note. That said, Flotholt isn’t an easy blind reach fragrance, it’s dark, very strong and slightly offensive to the nose. Performance on Flotholt is good but nothing amazing, it is in fact what I’ve found to be fairly standard over the last 40 days. Longevity on my skin and clothes was a little more then 6 hours. A 6/10 here. Projection is strong on Flotholt, it projects in a zone around 3 feet. A 7/10 here. I really enjoyed Flotholt for what it is but it is a definitely not something I would recommend as a blind buy either. It’s definitely a fragrance that feels just slightly closer to art then daily wear. I personally think it works better as a fragrance to use in a layer with another fragrance to add a dark smoke like depth to it. Flotholt is an 8/10 for me but it’s not a daily wear fragrance.

Bought a decant of Flotholt just so I could complete my sample set order, frankly the only reason I decided on it was because the name sounded interesting. I didn't have any sort of expectation going in but this fragrance ended up being one of my favourites. Flotholt brings back memories of travelling around the North Sea, visiting small coastal towns and letting the atmosphere around you consume you. On my skin it opens with a citrussy note with a faint whiff of fresh spruce, which slowly but surely gets overturned by a wave of salt water carrying seaweed that ends up clinging onto you. Finally after you've had enough of letting the waves surround you the base notes evoke an image of warming up by a fire in a small cabin. I ended up falling in love with Flotholt but this is 100% a fragrance that you *need* to try before buying

Flotholt belongs to one of my favorite categories of scents: moody, brooding oceanics that evoke the wild and untamable nature of the sea. This is a contemplative fragrance perfect for gazing at the horizon on a blustery day, humbled by the enormity of the vast expanse ahead. It is cold, but not unkind. In my quest to smell like a piece of driftwood on the shore, this hits pretty close.

I adore Fishersund fragrances. I personally wear N 23, and Flotholt is my partner's scent. The minute he smelled it he knew this will be his scent. It is beautifully marine, salty and smoky, it is Icelandic sea in a bottle. It lasts, and never causes me headaches despite being quite powerful. Fishersund are masters of their craft, truly.
