The Haul: A Bag Full Of Smelly Things

From the fine aromas of Fischer, to earthy scents of up-and-coming perfumier Ilmur og Sjor, to the pungent reek of a freshly opened bag of hardfiskur, this week’s shopping bag is particularly whiffy. Here are a few very Icelandic products that are worth giving a sniff, many of which you can buy in the Grapevine’s online store. Not only will you get some aromatic goods direct to your door, but you’ll get the satisfaction of supporting the publication you’re reading right now — so thanks!
