March, AKA National Fragrance Month, was full of events celebrating our fragrance clients in innovative ways that reflected each brand’s unique perspective on perfume.
The first event was an alternative Mother’s Day event for ERIS PARFUMS (
@erisparfums ), celebrating the launch of MOTHER’S MILK, a milky floral animalic fragrance that interrogates our fixation with gourmands by tracing it back to our primordial fixation with breastmilk.
To excavate this concept, founder and creative director Barbara Herman worked with a cinematographer to develop ‘Mommy Issues,’ a 30-minute supercut of mother-centric scenes from cinema that exemplifies the fantasies we project onto the word ‘mother’ in all its forms.
A premiere screening at the beautiful, vintage-style Garden Cinema was preceded by a play-through of Hole’s ‘Live Through This’, a record laden with milky imagery and followed by a Q&A with Barbara, Master Perfumer Antoine Lie and fragrance journalist Suzy Nightingale, delving deeper into the creative depths of MOTHER’S MILK.
We were delighted to be joined by press, fragrance creators and tastemakers who, like ERIS, celebrate unconventional beauty and subversive glamour.
MOTHER’S MILK is available in the UK now
