Eris Parfums - Mxxx. - niche perfume
Spicy, smoky, animalic and woody, Mxxx. has a massive 7% overdose of natural specially tinctured, and ethically sourced Ambergris. Mxxx. also features natural, specially tinctured, ethically sourced Pierre d’Afrique (Africa Stone or Hyraceum) in a subliminally pleasing dose.
“Eris Parfums’ Mxxx. pushes dark sensuality to a new limit. It includes specially sourced, tinctured, and aged Ambergris in a huge concentration; the rarely used animalic ingredient Pierre d’Afrique; and the richest and most refined Trinidad Cacao I’ve ever smelled, used for the first time in Mxxx. Surrender to its beauty!” – Antoine Lie, Perfumer, ALOE (Antoine Lie Olfactive Experience)
Due to its rarity and cost, natural Ambergris — the aged and oxidized exudate from a sperm whale — is found largely in synthetic form in most perfumes listing it as an ingredient. At once sweet, earthy, marine, and animalic, natural Ambergris imparts a subtle but unmistakable glow to any elixir it joins, adding an ineffable warmth, coziness, roundness, and sensuality that you have to smell — and feel — to understand.

Mxxx. also features a sumptuous Cacao from Trinidad and Tobago used for the first time ever in a fragrance. Selected by both perfumer Antoine Lie and a French artisanal chocolatier for its dark, spicy character, the Cacao was processed by ERIS partner, independent haute perfumery lab L’Atelier Français des Matières (“AFDM,” The French Atelier of Materials) with its cocoa butter intact. This choice, along with the use of a green, organic solvent and AFDM’s ultrasound technology extraction at a low temperature, results in a Cacao with its full spectrum of aromatic molecules.
Top notes: Madagascan Blue Ginger, Mace (CO2 extraction), Saffron, Ethiopian Olibanum, Pink Peppercorn

Base notes: Haitian Vetiver, Indonesian Patchouli, Laotian Benzoin, Castoreum (synthetic), 7% Natural Ambergris, Pierre d'Afrique (Hyraceum), Madagascan Green Vanilla (ultrasound extraction)
Please Note: No animals were involved or harmed in collecting the rare animalic ingredients in Mxxx., and as always, ERIS PARFUMS never tests its fragrances on animals. Both the Ambergris and Pierre d’Afrique in Mxxx. were provided by Stéphane Piquart of Behave, an organization founded on principles of transparent and sustainable sourcing, fair trade, and the empowerment of local populations.

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.
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.
ERIS seeks to bring to modern niche perfumery the uncompromising quality, boldness, and creativity Barbara encountered in the best of vintage perfume.
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 subversive glamour.
