FRAGRANCE HIGHLIGHT: BODY PAINT

THE ART OF PERSONAL EXPRESSION

Vilhelm Parfumerie has always been known for its narrative-driven fragrances, each one telling a story that unfolds with every wear. Body Paint is no exception, offering a sensory journey that is as personal as it is profound. It’s a fragrance that invites you to embrace your individuality, to paint your own story through scent.
The experience of wearing Body Paint is akin to becoming the artist and the artwork simultaneously. With each application, you are both the creator and the canvas, allowing the fragrance to evolve and interact with your unique chemistry.


THE STORY BEHIND THE FRAGRANCE

The creation of Body Paint is deeply rooted in the personal experiences and artistic passions.  Fascinated by the intersection of art and perfumery, Vilhelm Parfumerie envisioned a fragrance that could capture the raw, unfiltered emotion of the creative process. The inspiration for Body Paint came from an unexpected encounter with the world of body art during a late-night event in New York City. As the artists painted on live models, there was a metamorphose of beauty —the way the human body became a living canvas, and how the art, though fleeting, left a lasting impression.
This experience is to translate that same sense of impermanence and impact into a fragrance. In collaboration with perfumer Jérôme Epinette to bring this vision to life Body Paint is scent that evokes the boldness of modern art, the vibrancy of a freshly painted canvas, and the intimacy of the human touch.


Body Paint is designed to be a celebration of creativity in all its forms. A fragrance that resonates as an homage to the artists who dare to express themselves without fear, and to the idea that true art is not just seen but felt. Just as body art blurs the lines between the artist and the subject, Body Paint blurs the lines between the wearer and the fragrance, making you an exceptional part of the artistic process.
