Skandinavisk was started in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2012 by a curious English chap, Shaun. He was joined by another English emigrant and Scandiphile, Gerry, and together they created Skandinavisk by bringing together scents, Scandinavia and sustainability in one beautifully designed collection for body and home.
Our fragrances are inspired by over twenty years of travels across Scandinavia and the Nordic region. We create subtle, refined scents based on aspects of Scandinavia we consider to be precious to the inhabitants and exotic to the outside world, and then blend them with ingredients, materials, colours, symbols and local words to create unique impressions of Scandinavia.

Imagine a great land at the end of a long rocky track.A land populated by silent forests, silvery lakes, secluded islands and mountains of snow.Where nature dominates and seasons dictate.
A land larger than Germany, France and Italy but one-tenth of the people. With more boats and bicycles than those owning them, and a border to continental Europe just sixty kilometres long.
This is a land that has plotted its own course, shaped a different way of living over centuries. Where community, consciousness and timeless values of trust, equality, respect thrive.
Where its inhabitants place the greatest priority on life balance, on fellowship, family and friends, and on everyday moments of shared happiness.
Romantic? Idealistic? We think not.
It’s genuine.
And it’s something everyone should experience.
At Skandinavisk we have a product philosophy, stolen from the tech industry, of ‘always in beta’. An understanding that anything good can still be improved once we’ve learned more. For the customer and for the planet.
Back in 2020, our next generation collection was our response to the lessons of our first B Corp certification process, and one of the main reasons our B Corp score jumped by over 30 points on recertification last year.
This time around, we’ve made several more big improvements, such as adding locally sourced active ingredients to improve performance on the skin, increasing the amount of certified organic ingredients in all formulations, introducing our first organic hair care collection, introducing a more durable glass bottle option together with our first wash refill, switching all primary packaging to recycled materials, then refreshing everything in our new design aesthetic.
It’s a tribute to body & soil, to enhancing the performance of our collection on the skin while leaving an even lighter footprint on the earth.
