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
The mood is the unhurried hour after a midday swim, when warm skin meets a cotton shirt and there is no urgency to dress formally. Coconut and tropical flowers give the fragrance a cheerful, tactile presence, while vanilla keeps its sweetness soft rather than brisk or sporty.
How to wear
A natural fit for mild to warm weather, when its coconut and floral warmth suit exposed skin. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms; in high heat, keep application light so the vanilla sweetness does not dominate. In cooler weather, the same creamy notes offer a softer alternative to a crisp citrus scent.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy coconut, rounded white florals and vanilla sweetness without wanting a full dessert-style gourmand. Its playful tropical character suits tastes that lean towards colour, softness and relaxed sensuality rather than dry woods or austere freshness.

The nose
Philippine Courtière. In Bain de Midi, she translates the idea of carefree sunshine into a coconut-and-white-flower composition, framed by bergamot and softened with vanilla and musk. Its character balances tropical floral richness with a relaxed, playful sweetness.
Collaborators
Cofounder Arthur Ponroy helped shape the fragrance’s creative vision around optimism, simple pleasures and a lighthearted approach to life. Mathilde Purseigle created the bottle illustration, giving the scent its visual identity.
Maison Matine’s story
Maison Matine approaches perfume through shared creativity between perfumers, illustrators and its community. Founded by former design-agency colleagues Marie Kellou and Arthur Ponroy, it favours accessible, unisex fragrances and expressive graphics over traditional codes of opulence and seduction.
Bain de Midi’s concept
Bain de Midi grew from the idea of enjoying simple pleasures without taking life too seriously. Its name evokes a swim in the sea at noon and also nods to the Midi, the south of France. Coconut, tropical flowers and vanilla turn that optimistic brief into a soft, sunlit composition.
Extra info
Bain de Midi belongs to Maison Matine’s six-fragrance Origine collection. Its bottle illustration is by Mathilde Purseigle, and the eau de parfum is offered in both 50 ml and 15 ml formats. It is made in France using organic wheat alcohol; this does not mean the whole fragrance is certified organic.
