ABOUT ERIS PARFUMS
ERIS PARFUMS was launched in 2016 by vintage perfume lover Barbara Herman. Her years of collecting and researching vintage perfume took her on a journey: from blogging about vintage perfume, to writing a book, Scent and Subversion, to becoming inspired to work with Master Perfumer Antoine Lie to create scents as bold and beautiful as those she discovered from the past.
ERIS
THE GREEK GODDESS
In Greek mythology, Eris, the daughter of Nyx (Night), is the Goddess of Discord.
When she wasn't invited to a wedding party at Mount Olympus the other gods and goddesses were having, Eris crashed the party and threw her Golden Apple of Discord.
Her daring, rebellious, boundary-pushing ways serve as inspiration for all ERIS perfumes.
FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR
BARBARA HERMAN
ERIS PARFUMS was launched in 2016 by vintage perfume lover Barbara Herman. Her years of collecting and researching vintage perfume took her on a journey that started with her blog, Yesterday's Perfume, which turned into a book, Scent and Subversion: Decoding a Century of Provocative Perfume (Lyons Press: 2013)
After interviewing Master Perfumer Antoine Lie for Scent and Subversion, Barbara asked him to help her create a collection of fragrances as bold as her favorite vintage perfumes but for a modern audience.
Named after ERIS, the Greek goddess of discord, ERIS PARFUMS is inspired by muses — divine, human, and fragrant — that exemplify unconventional beauty and subversive glamour.
