Petit Matin Maison Francis Kurkdjian 2016

Petit Matin starts very citrusy. But pleasant. If people always associate lemon with cleaners, they might do the same here. I don't have that association at all. The top note is really great. But what follows is even better. When the citrus notes die down a bit, the most wonderful creamy, floral musky base you can imagine comes through. Bright, fresh, absolutely addictive. It lasts forever on me - often all day and it can even survive a bath.

In my eyes, the fragrance is as unisex as it gets. I wouldn't call it a barbershop fragrance, as is often the case here. But it can be interpreted as masculine thanks to its light tartness and strong citrus notes, but just as feminine thanks to its musky, floral and creamy notes.

Probably more of a summer fragrance for most people, but I wear it all year round. Wonderful as a daytime fragrance, but I also like to wear it to sleep
If you are looking for something that is particularly artsy or eggy, Petit Matin is probably not the right fragrance for you. If you're looking for perfectly blended, supreme perfume artistry, you'll find one of the best citrusy, fresh, creamy, floral, unisex fragrances you can find. And now that the 35ml version is available, at a fair price.
