Both luminous and sensual, the animalic floral Belle de Jour is a study in contrasts, blooming with elegant orange flower and jasmine on a smoldering base of incense, musk and a salty and surprising seaweed absolute note. Its journey on the skin is a slow burn, peaking with a spark of pimento berry, which adds a touch of heat to the scent’s reserved sensuality. Belle de Jour’s olfactory iridescence ends with a veil of floral warmth like the smell of skin heated up by the sun.

Launched in 2016, Eris Parfums is based in New York CIty. Named after the Greek goddess of discord and disruption, the brand celebrates unconventional beauty and subversive glamour. It's run by the founder and creative director, Barbara Herman.
