Vermeil

Powdery | Musk | Makeup

OUR VERDICT

Like the vermillion of blushing cheeks, Vermeil is the beating pulse of a heart aflutter, brought out and intensified with the red cinnabar-pigmented stain of lipstick. Both the red of passion and that of makeup, Vermeil is a brilliant and oft-repeated image of boudoirs filled with scented rice powders and balms, of enchantment and promise.

To achieve this effect, the memorable melt of carrot seed adds a muskiness that works in tandem with iris and violet. A quintessential trifecta which constitutes a ‘makeup’ accord, this is enlivened with crisp and soaring aldehydes that are almost glacial, sweetened with a fruity raspberry inflected rose, and then warmed with sandalwood, heliotrope, and balsamic notes.

What belies a simple theme is complex technical perfumery, creating a gorgeous work that ultimately represents the eternal feminine both real and ideal.
