Ma Bête by Eris Parfums is a daring fragrance that celebrates the untamed sensuality and extravagant elegance of vintage perfumery. Created by perfumer Antoine Lie, the composition opens with sparkling aldehydes and luminous Tunisian neroli, warmed by the aromatic spice of Indian nutmeg. As the fragrance develops, rich Indian jasmine sambac introduces an intoxicating floral character, while earthy Indian cypriol and resinous Honduran styrax add smoky depth. This striking combination balances the delicate beauty of white florals with a darker, more provocative warmth.
The base unfolds into a captivating blend of Virginia cedarwood, Indonesian patchouli, and a powerful synthetic animalic accord, creating a rich, enveloping finish reminiscent of warm skin and perfumed fur. The contrast between radiant blossoms, aromatic spices, and sensual woods gives Ma Bête its distinctive character, balancing refinement with unapologetic intensity. Bold, mysterious, and beautifully unconventional, this Eau de Parfum reimagines the seductive glamour of classic animalic fragrances for a modern audience.

Eris Parfums
Named after Eris, daughter of Night (Nyx) and the Greek goddess of troublemaking and disruption, her brand ERIS PARFUMS is inspired by muses — divine, human, and fragrant — that exemplify unconventional beauty and dark, subversive glamour.
ERIS PARFUMS was founded by vintage perfume expert Barbara Herman in 2014. Her years of collecting and researching vintage perfume took her on a journey: from blogging, to writing a book, to becoming inspired to work with a perfumer to create scents as daring and beautiful as those she discovered from the past.
Gourmand
Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
