Petit Matin

Petit Matin by Maison Francis Kurkdjian is an unisex eau de parfum from 2016 in the luxury price tier. It opens with lemon, moves into lavender, orange blossom and hawthorn and dries down to musk and ambroxan. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects softly.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.

Heart

• Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
• Orange Blossom Sweet, soapy and sunny. Neroli's warmer sibling.
• Hawthorn Almondy white blossom. Slightly powdery and hedgerow-like.

Dry-down

• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
