“ When I looked into the story of Eris, I saw a rebel with a sense of humour. Eris is on the original bad girls. She is my muse. ”
Eris Parfums, established in 2016 by Barbara Herman, distinguishes itself as a niche fragrance label celebrated for its unconventional and artistic ethos. Named after Eris, the Greek goddess of troublemaking and disruption, Eris Parfums is inspired by muses — divine, human, and fragrant — that exemplify unconventional beauty and dark, subversive glamour.
Founder and creative director, New-Yorker Barbara Herman, is a lifetime fragrance enthusiast. Her years of collecting and researching vintage perfume took her on a journey that started with her blog, Yesterday’s Perfume, which then turned into a book, Scent and Subversion: Decoding a Century of Provocative Perfume. After interviewing Master Perfumer Antoine Lie for her book, Barbara asked him to help her create a collection of fragrances as bold as her favourite vintage perfumes, but for a modern audience.
