From Eris Parfums:
"The word “Mother” evokes primal ideas: need, comfort, protection, nourishment, desire, love, and fear. Fantasies, in short. And it could be argued that the entire “gourmand” category in perfumery, starting with vanilla as the essence, goes back to a primordial inspiration: mother’s milk.
MOTHER'S MILK by ERIS explores fantasies of the “Good” and “Bad” mother through scent. It’s an olfactory montage of milky vanilla, a hint of rose, the soft-focus blur of buttery Orris (the precious dried roots of Iris flowers), and a hint of darkness.
That dissonant, slightly dark note in MOTHER’S MILK disrupts the simplistic comfort that can be found in most gourmand fragrances, reminding us that perfume is an adult pleasure.
The slight darkness also hints at the “Bad Mother,” who (in our fantasies) withholds and punishes instead of being a never-ending source of giving and comfort. MOTHER'S MILK holds space — perhaps most subversively — for the woman (who happens to be a mother) who is her own person, separate from this culturally loaded role.
MOTHER’S MILK: Sumptuous, comforting, sensual, yet challenging. It’s so Mother."
Mother's Milk is offered in an Extrait de parfum concentration of 20% oils.
