Inspiration behind the fragrance

BELLE DE JOUR forms part of ERIS’s first fragrance trilogy, La Belle et la Bête. The fragrance is inspired by Luis Buñuel’s 1967 film of the same name, in which a seemingly perfect woman lets go of her carefully constructed façade and explores her hidden desires.

Perfumer Antoine Lie translated this journey into scent. What begins as a radiant composition of orange blossom and jasmine slowly evolves into something more intimate and unpredictable. Incense, musk and seaweed add a salty warmth reminiscent of skin, sea salt and sun-warmed air.

The result is a floral fragrance that balances distance and closeness, elegance and sensuality. Luminous on the surface, yet with an irresistibly wild undercurrent.

As an independent perfumer, Lie values creative freedom more highly than set formulas. He prefers to collaborate with brands that prioritise artistic expression over mass-market trends.
