The story

Kierin NYC began in New York in 2018 from Mona Maine de Biran's wish to make fragrance personal art rather than a fixed set of roles. The independent, woman-owned house works with international perfumers and translates urban scenes into scents meant to be worn as personal stories.

Its visual language moves from graffiti and Pop Art to tattoo culture. Vegan, cruelty-free formulas, recyclable glass bottles, and cellophane-free packaging extend that point of view into the product itself. New York is the origin, while the invitation is deliberately open to anyone who connects with the story.

01 · Origin

Fragrance as personal art

Mona Maine de Biran founded Kierin NYC in 2018 from a wish to stop fragrance advertising from defining or confining people. In her founder's own account, perfume becomes expression and an invitation to make the story personal. The New York point of view stays tangible: Nitro Noir builds tension from iris, pink pepper, and patchouli, while the house develops its scent world with artists and international perfumers.

02 · Scent world

Urban stories in many colors

Kierin NYC translates different New York moments into scent concepts. Pier NY captures the salt air between water and streets, while Rose Ink uses tattoo art as a metaphor for identity and lasting impression. The compositions do not come from one house perfumer: Mathieu Nardin is credited with Nitro Noir, Pier NY, and Sunday Brunch among others, while Jérôme Epinette is credited with Rose Ink and ScentXone.

03 · Responsibility

Art with a more considered object

The brand describes its bottles as recyclable glass objects with an opaque finish that protects the fragrance from light. It also uses cellophane-free packaging and states that its formulas are vegan and cruelty-free. These are the house's own claims, but they give a clear context for its connection between design and everyday use.

What the community says about KIERIN

10/10

„It is my all-rounder. Unique enough not to get lost, yet not overpowering or intrusive. I mostly wear it at work and have already been asked about it.“

petra55Santal Sky

9/10

„A very warm and cozy fragrance that fits perfectly into the cool and dark season. Cognac, honey, and apple provide a sweet-boozy opening, while patchouli, oakwood, and myrrh give the fragrance depth and warmth. Overall, it is somewhat reminiscent of well-known boozy gourmand fragrances like Angel's Share or Oajan and is very well received by those around me.“

8/10

„Very pleasant scent, unfortunately much sweeter and woodier than the ingredients would suggest. Would buy a full bottle if I weren't looking for something greener.“
