FRAGRANCE IMPRESSION

Late evening at the bar. Lavender still lingers faintly from the shaving foam, clean and polite, slowly fading. Air thickens with powdery notes from jackets and makeup of nearby glamorous figures. Spiced Negroni's cut through first - cold, smoky, warming - followed by cocoa dust from a garnish for a Cocoa martini. As conversations intensify, the warmth of the cocktail kicks in and you feel adventurous. Why not have another? After all, the mysterious figure from across who sent you the first is on their way over...

If it were a…

On the skin, Vespree begins as a familiar, fougère-like whisper. The delicate, powdery effect of carrot seeds unfurls first, softened by the shimmer of iris. As it settles, the fragrance shifts, revealing a nostalgic warmth. Woody and balsamic notes of sandalwood and benzoin rise adding an air of sophistication. Sweet tonka bean and a vanilla are detectable throughout, adding a sumptuous facet.

Vespree is a shapeshifter on the skin: from airy freshness to creamy, ambery-soft warmth, it moves fluidly, leaving a trace that is at once comforting, luminous, and quietly unforgettable.

Detectable on skin 5+ hours after application.

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.
