Reykjavik

by Delphine Lebeau

Contes de Parfums Reykjavik is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Delphine Lebeau. Reykjavik opens with Rain, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Birch, Rosemary, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Cedar, and Amber. Contes de Parfums's Reykjavik carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a blast of icy winds. Reykjavik is a warm, aromatic journey, a cosy sauna experience rather than a glacial hike. It's divisive only if you expect an Icelandic winter; otherwise, it's a wonderfully calming scent.

About

Reykjavik opens with a distinct, spicy cardamom and a vibrant crackle of pink pepper, immediately hinting at warmth rather than Arctic chill. This fiery start mellows into a soothing, herbal heart of birch and sage, softened by a comforting, steamy quality. The base settles into a rich, woody accord of vetiver and cedar, grounded by a gentle touch of amber, creating an enveloping, serene aura.
