about us

hello neighbour,

rooted in the vibrant culture of the caribbean, iere is an aromatic collective on a mission to craft sensory experiences that bring the warmth and beauty of the islands into any space with intention. at iere, we research and design fragrances to tell stories of time, place, and identity; of who we are, and who we are becoming.

born in trinidad, the name iere holds deep historical and cultural significance. derived from the arawakan word caeri, meaning “island”, it was used by the island’s first peoples. a reminder of where our story begins, and the land and people who came before us.

embracing iere as our name roots us in our homeland

and gives us the honour of recognising the communities whose legacy shapes the islands we love. long before us, people journeyed across the caribbean by canoe, sharing stories, culture and light.a true spirit of connection we continue in our own way through scent and design

each iere product is crafted to offer a unique experience to you, our neighbours. at every step, we strive for sustainable practices that care for both you and the planet.

when you light an iere candle or use one of our products, you support our journey and invite the spirit of the islands to enhance your experiences and interactions with the world. on behalf of everyone who pours their heart into iere, thank you.

with warmth + love of the islands

ca. 2020

sometime late in 2020, we began exploring what a multi-sensory experience could mean for our communities. that is, how scent, story and design might come together to create something meaningful. from these early experiments, iere was born.

believing that scent is memory made material, we started with candle making, testing blends, and stories with early customers. from those first explorations, we’ve continued to refine fragrances that mean a great deal to us, now held in our signature collection.

as we grow and become wiser, we remain guided by the same intention: to create fragrances that honour our islands and bring warmth wherever they travel.
