Eris Parfums
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.
Antoine Lie is a renowned perfumer with more than 30 years of experience. He trained at the Roure School of Perfumery in Grasse, and has since worked for numerous luxury fragrance brands. His groundbreaking compositions have earned him international accolades and cultivated a loyal following.
Eris Parfums meticulously select premium ingredients to fashion each scent, producing limited batches in Italy and France. The fragrances are meticulously designed to possess enduring complexity, challenging conventional olfactory norms with audacious compositions. For those seeking to delve into the artistic realm of fragrances, Eris Parfums offers an essential exploration.
