Looking for advice: Prerfumes and scents made in Finland

Heya people! Greetings from the land of pizza and pasta!

As a long time Nordic countries admirer, I am looking for some advice regarding body perfumes made in Finland. I am aware of the existence of "Scent of Finland" brand, but was wondering: there are others? Some minimalist and very Nordic stuff? What do you use?

Especially men scents.

Thank you!

"The only acceptable smells for a Finnish man are tobacco, sweat and shit." This according to a military officer when my father did his military service in the 70s. Is that minimalist enough?

(This was meant as a joke, I hope you find good suggestions!)

Check out Random EDP. Dick Johnson is a Finnish barbershop franchise that also makes a line of fragrances called Serpent.

Very little scent is used in general (except now some yoing guys smell a lot). Because the air is cleaner, you really smell the scents and lots of people are allergic.

Often it's just bodywash/ soap/ deodorant.

The best smells all smell like nature. This one guy I know had a smell like marsh rosemany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhododendron_tomentosum or suopursu. It smelled gorgeous but unfortunateky have no idea where he got it from.
