ERIS PARFUMS

ERIS Parfums stands apart through its deliberate interplay between past and present. Founded by Barbara Herman, a perfume historian and writer, the brand draws on the codes of vintage perfumery while reworking them through the distinctly modern and often provocative compositions of perfumer Antoine Lie. 

Rather than recreating the past, ERIS interprets it, using familiar structures such as florals, musks and chypres as a foundation for compositions that feel more visceral, subversive and emotionally charged.

Yes, but not in a nostalgic or literal way. ERIS engages with the atmosphere of vintage perfumery, its glamour, drama and sensuality, while reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens.

References to cinema, art and perfume history run throughout the collection, but they are used as points of departure rather than imitation, resulting in fragrances that feel both familiar and unexpected.

ERIS is suited to those who are drawn to perfume as an expressive medium rather than a purely aesthetic one.

The collection appeals to wearers who appreciate complexity, tension and emotional depth; as well as those interested in the intersection of scent with art, history and identity.

ERIS fragrances tend toward the bold, but not in a purely loud or overpowering sense.

They are often rich, textural and conceptually layered, revealing themselves gradually on the skin. The impact comes as much from their construction and material contrasts as from their projection.

Many ERIS fragrances can be worn during the day, though they are not designed to disappear into the background.

These are perfumes with presence and character, making them equally suited to moments where you want your scent to feel more intentional and expressive.

ERIS fragrances are composed with a high level of concentration and are designed to evolve over time on the skin.

Most offer strong longevity, with complex drydowns that continue to develop for several hours after application, reflecting Antoine Lie’s material-driven approach to composition.

Yes. Sainte Cellier offers hand-poured samples of ERIS fragrances, allowing you to explore how each composition develops on your skin before committing to a full-size bottle.

Orders are prepared by hand, and dispatch usually takes between three and five working days depending on what the order contains. Samples are hand-poured in small batches, which can take additional time.

Within the UK, orders are sent with Royal Mail using tracked services. Most parcels travel on the Tracked 48 service, although special arrangements can be made on request and may incur a surcharge.

International orders, including samples, are shipped with FedEx. Delivery times vary depending on destination and customs processing.

Perfume is considered a hygiene-sensitive item, and under UK Consumer Contracts Regulations it cannot be returned once opened. This applies whether the product is wrapped in cellophane, sealed with a sticker, or simply packaged in a way that makes clear it is unused. Once a fragrance has been opened, sprayed or handled beyond inspection, it cannot be resold and is therefore not eligible for return based on personal preference.

If you would like to explore a scent before committing to a full-size bottle, I offer individually hand-poured samples so you can experience how it develops on your own skin.

Unopened perfumes may be eligible for return within the statutory period, and I am always here to help if an order arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect. Please contact me at bb@saintecellier.com for assistance.
