Singer Billie Eilish ventured into the world of perfume for the first time in November 2021 with Eilish N°1.
She recently released the second titled Eilish #2. Speaking to Harper’s Bazaar about the inspiration behind the fragrance, she said: “The things I was thinking about for this one were rain, water and kind of a silvery, metallic, dark world. I just wanted rain and water, but also drops and mist – anything that looked like something wet, basically. »
And to add: “I had a lot of inspiration in dark and abyssal places, and that’s what I saw in my head. I also really liked the idea of pine, woods, pepper and things like that, which were my main inspirations for Eilish #2. I’ve always had an iron deficiency, and so when I was younger – and honestly still today – I really liked the taste of metal. It has this specific, almost sweet, but dark, cold taste, and I wanted Eilish #2 to feel kind of like it in a weird way. »
Describing her second fragrance as sensual and mysterious, she clarifies that while the fragrance is housed in a female bust, like the first, this time the bottle is black as opposed to gold. Talking about the process of creating a perfume, the 21-year-old said it helps to have more knowledge the second time around.
“It was good to already know what I was getting into and know what was coming, so I was ready for all the things, all the little steps in between,” she revealed.
