A technicolour tropical bouquet of gardenia, tiare and ylang ylang. A happy dance accompanied by coconut and vanilla, with a little musk cha-cha-cha.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of a late, unhurried afternoon when the air is warm and skin still holds the day’s heat. It suits close company, sun-warmed fabrics and a relaxed confidence that feels more inviting than polished, with a creamy floral presence that stays softly noticeable.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in warm weather where the coconut, tiare and vanilla open up without becoming heavy. A light to moderate spray is enough; on skin it reads creamy and powdery, while in the air it leaves a soft solar trail rather than a loud projection.
Who it’s for
For those who like tropical florals with a gourmand edge, soft musk and a clean, modern sweetness. It will appeal to wearers who want something sunny and sensual, but not dense or overly sugary, with a relaxed unisex feel.

The nose
Philippine Courtière. Courtière works in a contemporary French style that balances clarity, texture and easy wearability, often giving compositions a polished but approachable feel. For Bain de Midi, that translates into a solar floral built around creamy coconut, tiare and vanilla, with a soft musky finish that keeps the scent relaxed rather than heavy. Her work here fits Maison Matine’s preference for fragrances that feel modern, accessible and emotionally direct: less about formal structure than about atmosphere, color and immediate pleasure.
Collaborators
Élise Benat is credited in some sources with shaping the fragrance’s summer concept and seaside-vacation mood, helping define its carefree, unisex character. Maison Matine’s wider creative process also involves its illustration and community-driven visual world, which frames the scent as part of a collaborative, design-led project rather than a purely perfumery-only brief.
Maison Matine’s story
Maison Matine is a French niche house built around accessible creativity, responsible production and a clear rejection of perfume’s old codes of opulence and seduction. Its fragrances are unisex, visually bold and rooted in everyday emotions, with an emphasis on sustainability, simplicity and a playful, contemporary French identity.
Bain de Midi’s concept
Bain de Midi belongs to Maison Matine’s Refresh Collection, conceived as a lighter, more uplifting response after the brand’s pandemic-era launch. The fragrance was imagined as a technicolour summer escape: a sweet, carefree composition that evokes seaside holidays through tropical florals, coconut, vanilla and a soft musky trail.
Extra info
Bain de Midi is part of Maison Matine’s Refresh Collection and is presented as a 15% concentration eau de parfum. The name and imagery point to a midday holiday mood, while the brand’s recyclable packaging and illustrated bottle reinforce its design-led identity.
