Kierin

Kierin NYC (often stylized as KIERIN) is a modern, "eco-luxury" fragrance house founded in 2018 by Mona Maine de Biran. The brand is built around the vibrant energy of New York City and uses visual arts—specifically Pop Art, Graffiti, and Tattoo art—as the primary inspiration for its scent stories and bottle designs.

Brand Philosophy

"Gender-All": Every fragrance is intentionally unisex, designed to be "gender-inclusive" rather than just gender-neutral.
Clean & Conscious: The perfumes are 100% vegan, cruelty-free (PETA certified), and formulated without parabens or phthalates.
Accessible Niche: They position themselves as an entry point into niche perfumery, offering high-quality Eau de Parfums at more accessible price points than many luxury houses.

Signature Scents

Kierin NYC focuses on high-concentration (20% oil) scents that are known for their performance and longevity. Some of their most popular fragrances include:

Fragrance	Vibe	Key Notes
Sunday Brunch	Bright & Cheerful	Italian Bergamot, Lemon, Earl Grey Tea, Jasmine
Nitro Noir	Magnetic & Edgy	Pink Berries, Orris, Patchouli, Bergamot
Santal Sky	Earthy & Serene	Cardamom, Saffron, Sandalwood, Vetiver
10 a.m. Flirt	Fresh & Playful	Gardenia, Fig, Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood
Rose Ink	Urban & Moody	Rose, Cassis, Cedarwood, Saffron

Why It Stands Out

Unlike traditional luxury brands that use "perfect" models and aspirational lifestyles, Kierin focuses on urban storytelling. Their opaque white bottles serve as a canvas for bold artwork, making them highly collectible for those who appreciate contemporary design as much as the scent itself.
