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 scent, she said, “The things I had in mind for this scent were rain, water and some sort of silver, metallic, dark world. I just wanted rain and water, but also drips and mist—basically anything that looked like something wet. »
And to add: “I had a lot of inspiration in dark and abysmal places and that’s what I saw in my head. I also really liked the idea of pine, wood, pepper and things like that, which were my main inspirations for Eilish #2. I’ve always been iron deficient, so when I was growing up – and frankly 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 that way 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, the bottle this time is black rather than gold. Speaking about the perfume making process, the 21-year-old said it helped to have more knowledge the second time around.
“It was good to already know what I was getting into and what was coming, so I was ready for all the things, all the little steps in between,” she revealed.
