FRAGRANCE IMPRESSION

Powdery, warm, and floral. The scent takes you back in an instant. You're small again, peeking from behind the door as your mother leans toward the mirror, her hands skillfully teasing her hair into a soft, cloud-like halo. She spots you and invites you to help complete her ritual with a sweep of red lipstick. The delicate trace of face powder brushes your skin as she kisses your cheek to say thank you.

HOW IT WEARS

One of the first fragrances to launch in the 1930s, Vermeil is an elegant floral blend that invites you to revisit memories of dressing tables in boudoirs, where the scent of face powder, lipstick, perfume and blush swirls in the air.

First and foremost, Vermeil starts with a dry iris and violet accord - joined by a dewy rose, a symbol of love in bloom. In the base creamy sandalwood lends depth, counterpointed with a whisper of a tart cherry note.

We love the nostalgic memories conjured when spritzing Vermeil, yet manages to feel contemporary for today’s wearer.

About Bienaimé

Robert Bienaimé, a renowned perfumer, founded his brand, Bienaimé in 1935, marked by his talent that was nurtured under the guidance of Paul Parquet.

His innovative fragrances, like Quelques Fleurs by Houbigant, distinguished him as a leading nose in the industry.

After his passing in 1960, the brand lay dormant until Cécilia Mergui revived it in 2021. Inspired by Art Deco aesthetics, Mergui aimed to blend sustainability with timeless beauty, echoing the era when beauty products were refillable and artistic.

The revival of Bienaimé is a journey through time, reconnecting with an era of enduring beauty and see Mergui's vision infuse modernity into Bienaimé's legacy.

Vermeil by Bienaimé — Powdery Floral with Iris, Violet & Sandalwood Unisex Eau de Parfum (UK)

Vermeil by Bienaimé is an elegant unisex niche fragrance that evokes vintage glamour and classic beauty. Opening with crisp aldehydes and carrot seed, the scent transitions into a delicate floral heart of iris, violet, rose and raspberry, and settles on a warm, powdery base of white musk, sandalwood, heliotrope and tolu balsam. The result is a refined, nostalgic perfume that blends old-world charm with contemporary sophistication.

Perfect for lovers of powdery floral perfumes, Vermeil offers a smooth, graceful presence that is both timeless and modern. Its balanced composition makes it ideal for daytime elegance, special occasions, or as a signature scent for those who value understated luxury and effortless style.
