Fragrance information:
Grasið 9 by the Icelandic brand
Grasið 9 Parfum, also designated as Extrait de Parfum, is a unisex fragrance by Ilmur & Sjór, released in 2023.
The Icelandic brand draws on images from nature and creates compositions with a distinctive character, while Grasið 9 expresses this aesthetic through green, floral, and spicy accords.
The fragrance belongs to the green family and is suited to those who enjoy unconventional compositions with a sense of living vegetation, cool air, and natural texture.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, it is not confined by strict gender boundaries and may develop differently depending on the skin, weather, and chosen style.
The fragrance's character and development
Angelica, grass, pink pepper, and rose are at the heart of the composition.
This combination brings together a fresh green facet with a spicy spark and a soft floral nuance, making the fragrance feel natural, composed, and noticeable at the same time.
Angelica lends the scent a dry, herbaceous depth and a distinctive bitter-green tone.
The herbal accord reinforces the impression of freshness, while pink pepper adds a touch of piquancy and dynamism.
Rose softens these facets while keeping the fragrance expressive and preserving its floral elegance.
Grasið 9 is especially interesting for its balance between greenery and flowers.
It does not aim to be a simple, light fragrance for every occasion: it has the density and richness typical of a perfume extract, as well as a pronounced individuality that reveals itself especially well on the skin in cool weather.
Longevity and sillage
Grasið 9 is described as having very strong sillage, so the fragrance can linger in the air for a long time and attract the attention of those around you.
For everyday wear, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess its development gradually, especially indoors or in warm weather.
Specific recommendations for application to skin and clothing have not been provided for this release.
At the same time, the extract's richness and powerful sillage suggest a measured approach: the fragrance should be applied thoughtfully, giving it room to develop fully.
The perfumer and its place in the collection
The composition was created by perfumer and the brand's creative director Nicholas Brittain Shaber.
His signature approach is expressed here through the contrast between fresh green shades, a spicy accent, and rosy softness. Other concentrations of this fragrance are not listed in the database.
Grasið 9 is suitable for walks, creative gatherings, evenings, and any occasion when you want to emphasize your personal style with an expressive fragrance.
It may appeal to fans of green compositions, unusual natural accords, and perfumes with a noticeable presence rather than a neutral background.
Similar fragrances
As a direction for further exploration, consider Sisley Izia, as well as Lalique Tendre Kiss and Amway Anticipate for Women.
They do not exactly replicate Grasið 9, but may appeal thanks to their floral character and similar mood of an elegant perfume composition.
