by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato

Vilhelm Parfumerie Body Paint is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Marc-Antoine Corticchiato. The fragrance opens with Pimiento, Pear, Green Pepper, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Iso E Super, Nutmeg, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Cedar, and Ambroxan.

Our verdict on Body Paint: Statement

This one's proper weird, a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. It's divisive, intriguing, and definitely not for a blind buy. Prepare for either an artistic revelation or a scrubber experience.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its prominent spicy and woody accords, combined with its strong, unique character as described by reviewers, make it less suited for formal or office settings where subtlety is preferred. It's better for casual wear or dates where its distinctiveness can be a talking point, but it's far too unusual and potentially off-putting for sport.

About

Body Paint kicks off with a sharp, almost boozy blast of pear and zesty lemon, quickly jabbed by a peppery, green edge. As it settles, warm spices like clove and nutmeg emerge, lending a strangely familiar, slightly medicinal, yet comforting depth. The dry down is a woody, musky affair, driven by Iso E Super and ambroxan, leaving a trace of cedar and earthy oakmoss that's both modern and a bit retro.
