Kierin NYC

Kierin NYC – Fragrance as Art, Identity and Conscious Living

Kierin NYC is a modern fragrance house that captures the pulse and poetry of New York City. Founded in 2018 by Mona Maine de Biran, the brand stands for a new kind of perfumery – one that is genderless, artistic, sustainable, and unapologetically inclusive. Rather than following conventions or relying on nostalgia, Kierin NYC celebrates individuality, diversity, and the energy of real life.

Every fragrance is conceived as an abstract olfactory artwork – a sensory narrative that evokes emotion, reflects urban moments, and expands awareness. These are not perfumes designed to impress from the outside, but to connect from within. Inspired by the spontaneity of city life, fleeting encounters, sunlight on rooftops and the intimacy of skin, Kierin NYC brings the vibrancy of the streets into bottles that speak with character and clarity.

Mona Maine de Biran brings a unique perspective to the world of fragrance. With a background as an international model, media personality, and editor of the fragrance podcast @PhilosophyOfFragrance and lifestyle blog Manhattan Minds, she has created a brand that is equal parts vision and voice. Her mission is to inspire, not define – to offer scents that empower rather than impose, and to use fragrance as a medium of expression, not status.

Kierin NYC is a certified eco-luxury brand. All perfumes are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and clean – made without sulfates, parabens or formaldehyde, and composed using ethically sourced raw materials. The brand works exclusively with suppliers who share its sustainability values, including Robertet, a global leader in natural fragrance ingredients. Every aspect of the production reflects Mona’s deep commitment to creating perfumes with integrity – artistic, ethical, and emotionally intelligent.

Art plays a central role in the brand’s identity. The visual design of the bottles reflects the inspiration drawn from graffiti, pop art and tattoo culture. Flacons like Pier NY and ScentXOne pay homage to the rebellious creativity of urban art. Fragrances such as Nitro Noir, Sunday Brunch, 10 a.m. Flirt and Santal Sky are infused with the spirit of pop art – bold, bright and full of contrast. Meanwhile, Rose Ink and Santal Park echo the permanence and intimacy of tattoo art, turning the skin into a canvas for memory and meaning.

Each scent tells a story. Santal Sky offers a moment of calm amid chaos – smooth sandalwood, saffron and cardamom in meditative balance. Nitro Noir is pure electricity – blackcurrant, pink pepper and patchouli, seductive and unapologetically urban. Sunday Brunch feels like sunshine and optimism – lemon, tea and jasmine in a sparkling blend. 10 a.m. Flirt is charming and radiant – fig, gardenia and cashmere woods in a sensual skin scent. And Rose Ink reimagines the rose as modern, dark and magnetic – with saffron, amber and musk giving the floral heart its edge.

Kierin NYC is not about heritage or exclusivity. It is about energy, freedom and personal expression. It is perfume for a generation that doesn’t ask for permission and doesn’t follow rules. A brand rooted in values, inspired by art, and grounded in real lives.
