Bain De Midi

One of my greatest weaknesses in perfumery is the coconut tiare suntan tropical beach vibe perfumes. I want them all, or at least try them all. Today Bain De Midi became my newest addition or should I say addiction. This little gem from a perfume house that I have never heard of before, may have become the queen in my little collection A blend of Coconut vanilla and tiare, this could have gone so wrong, because it has been done before, several times, so there is nothing new here, except this is perfect. The vanilla is yummy, but not gourmand, the coconut is not synthetic and the tiare is oh so stunning. This is not similar to hibiscus palm, it is more in the vein of terracotta and intense tiare, but I dare say that I find this to be superior to those. I am already contemplating getting a back up. May I ad the bottle is adorable.

"Bain de Midi" by Maison Matine is a delightful fragrance that captures the essence of a sun-drenched afternoon with its bright floral opening of bergamot and lemon, transitioning into a heart of elegant tiaré flower and coconut. Its moderate sillage and commendable longevity make it perfect for various occasions, from beach outings to casual days. The minimalist, artistic packaging reflects the brand’s creativity and sustainability. Overall, "Bain de Midi" is a refreshing and uplifting scent, ideal for anyone seeking a versatile and joyful fragrance experience.

My winter salvation. Feels like a fresh gourmand with lovely white flowers undertone. Beautifull and much better than expected. Tiare flower itself smells absolutely divine and no perfume I have or have tried is anywere close to the source, nor is this one and it is for the better. It does not smell chemical or suntanlotiony, something that I was expecting, but flowery sweet and adorable and I am always amazed to catch a wiff of my skin or clothes when wearing Bain de Midi. The scent is a lot better than the bottle would suggest.

Wow. This is a knock-out if you like creamy, coconutty white florals, and for the price, such a joy! The coconut is quite obvious on my skin actually, and there's a hot sand note I pick up on too. Luscious and simple, with a soapy, sweet cleanness that is the icing on the cake. BIG LOVE here. No obvious synthetic notes: not screechy or loud. And I love the brand's (i) packaging and (ii) ethics. So glad I found both this brand and Bastille, who I see as kind of in the same ball park but a bit closer to niche on the spectrum.

One of the best fragrances I've smelled in the last couple of months and I've probably tried 30+ scents. It's a creamy, yellow floral, tropical scent at its finest. Very well blended. Similar to Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess, maybe little lighter. Great for any occasion in summer. Perfect for beach vacation in warmer climate. Smells amazing. Can't get enough of it. I love the cute 15ml bottle.
