Indie brand Eris Parfums has launched Scorpio Rising, a new fragrance.
Say the word « Scorpio, » the astrological sign for those born between October 23 and November 22, represented by the scorpion, and a reaction of fear or at least awe usually follows in response. In keeping with its boldly beautiful fragrances, Eris Parfums’ SCORPIO RISING pays homage to the passion, mystery, and power of Scorpio by featuring an overdose of spices on a smoldering, ambery base of woods, incense, smoke, and leather. Like the astrological sign it's inspired by, SCORPIO RISING is beautiful but dangerous, magnetic but formidable. And very, very addictive. Are you ready to play with fire?
“SCORPIO RISING, with its overdosed cocktail of spices, is a dangerous, spellbinding beauty that will envelop you in its glowing, magnetic sensuality.” —Antoine Lie, Perfumer
The notes include pink and black pepper, clove, cinnamon, cardamom, immortelle, incense, cypriol, Atlas cedar, guaiac, saffron, sandalwood, ambroxan, cashmeran, vetiver and leather.
Eris Parfums Scorpio Rising is available in 50 ml Extrait de Parfum, $180.

I AM a Scorpio! This is just screaming my name. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to spice, Amber, Oud, leather, wood characteristics. I’m not a floral gal. I can appreciate them, but they’re not my first choice.
I want a sample of this very much.
Well crap, I went to order a sample. $15 but applied towards a full bottle later. That’s an expensive sample but if you like it a nice deal. BUT, they’re charging $10 shipping? For a tiny piece of cardboard with a teeny spray sample! That’s ridiculous.
Sorry, I’d love to try this but I refuse to encourage gouging for shipping. I’ve sent plenty of samples out to others, bubble wrap, a small padded mailer, it’s never been more then a couple of dollars.
Oh dear, so $25, that’s too bad. Looks like you do get the shipping back too if you buy a bottle, but if you don’t, that’s a lot.
Maybe order a sample from Luckyscent instead?
I love Luckyscent for their samples!
I’m cross posting this comment (sorry if it seems like spam).
LS has the discovery set of the entire line ($55) and free shipping if you spend over $75.
The ERRIS website has the line for $45 + $10 shipping as you noted, so… six vs a half dozen unless you’re planning on shopping at LS.
“ The boxed Discovery Set comes with a brand brochure, drawstring bag, and 7 x 2ml atomizer sprays of the entire line:
Belle de Jour EdP
Night Flower EdP
Ma Bête EdP
Mx. EdP
Green Spell EdP
Mxxx. Extrait (20% concentration), with 7% authentic ambergris
Scorpio Rising, Extrait (25% concentration)”
Oh, and I’m a Leo. Birthday’s coming up. Send $ or Thomas Hardy.
My bottle just arrived! I will open it tomorrow. Perhaps a candidate for a split although it would only make sense to do a minimum of 5mL each.
I would probably do a split for 5ml. It sounds wonderful.
Oh good!
As a Scorpio, I’d be very interested, too. (But am I ready to play with fire? ???)
I’m in for 5mls!
Would love to split 5mls!
Hi rayleighblue. I sent you an email yesterday. If still interested please respond to it or click on my username to send me an email. Due to high demand, please respond by tonight (Wed. Feb. 9). Thanks!
Scorpio is a water sign, so those flames in the image make me giggle ? Too bad about the sample price, my son is a scorp and I would have tried it if they charged a fair market rate.
I just ordered a sample from Luckyscent for $4. Several different samples for a $4 shipping, a much more reasonable price.
I pre-ordered for my birthday and though I really enjoy it, it’s much less fiery than I expected. Very sandalwood incense with lots of spices up top.
Real flowers are one of the joys of my life, but for some reason I can’t do floral perfumes. But this? Oh yes. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for telling us about all of these new and exciting fragrances.
