Description In Delta of Venus, Eris's new fragrance that reimagines the Garden of Eden's Forbidden Fruit, Eve has reclaimed the Garden. There, after eating the Forbidden Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, she sits under the Tree of Life's sun-kissed green leaves and vibrant fruit and writes poems about innocence and experience, sorrow and joy, while the beautiful serpent coils its cool green serpentine song around the perfume's sunnier notes.

This olfactive fantasy of the Garden of Eden's Forbidden Fruit, in a powerful 20% eau de parfum concentration, opens with an effervescent burst of juicy bergamot and grapefruit, slinking seductively to its heart: a delectable and addictive guava accord created by perfumer Antoine Lie exclusively for Eris. The accord morphs into a rolling, psychedelic kaleidoscope of carnal tropical fruit notes.

Delta of Venus' Garden of Eden is complete with a hissing serpent in the form of gorgeously bitter green Galbanum and the fallen, decadent sensuality of the indolic white flower, Jasmine Sambac.

Named after Anais Nin's groundbreaking work of erotica, written in the 1940s and published posthumously in 1977, Delta of Venus Eau de Parfum celebrates the sophistication and carnality of fruit, returning this perfumery ingredient to its dangerous and forbidden origins.

Banishment from Paradise has never smelled so good.

Joshua ★★★★★

The grapefruit and bergamot opening is so bright it almost smells like I just cut one open, then the jasmine and vetiver settle it into something softer within twenty minutes. I've worn it to work three days straight and gotten compliments each time.

Steven ★★★★★

The galbanum keeps this from being a straight-up dessert scent, which I appreciate. On me the violet leaf and jasmine come through after about an hour, and the Haitian vetiver in the base gives it a green, slightly smoky finish that lasts most of the day.

Joshua ★★★★★

The grapefruit and bergamot open so bright and tart that I actually paused mid-spray. Give it twenty minutes though and that jasmine sambac and vetiver take over in this soft, almost green way. Genuinely didn't expect a fruity scent to dry down this elegant.
