Boreal forest breeze
Wow is this mineral: rain on a cliff with pines, whipped by the cold wind. Petrichor notes are not mentioned anywhere but they are all over this.

This opens on a terpenic breeze of pine, eucalyptus, and a discreete outline of petitgrain. Very civil muscs close the march. On fabric, the pine notes linger for a while -- a few hours after applying I was doing pushups in a cloud of forest air -- but on the skin, they are fleeting. Some might think of the basenotes to be a bit too tame, I personally love those kind of clean and intimate scents.

De Fille en Aiguille, also from Sheldrake, comes to mind, this time with no fruit nor resin, a more airy, fleeting, and resolutely mineral proposition. There is also a coldness that I associate with Iris Silver Mist: altough the two are very different, the mood is similar.

Perhaps my favorite in the Matin Discovery Set.

Smells like the color: blue-gray.

Ocean Pine Minimalism
Parole d'Eau (Word of Water) takes me to the bristly, cool pitch pine covered dunes of Plum Island. When the sun hits the trees and the sand, the camphor and brine permeates the air, rendered just a shade sweeter by resins and beach grasses. I appreciate how direct the pine accord is here; with intermittent moments that remind me of the turpentine of the studio when I spent hours painting in college. The conifers are supported by citruses, of which their terpenes are adjacent and therefore capable of lending some resplendence.

There are droplets of condensation, mist in the air, sand dollars on the shore, piping plovers scuttling, and summer moves to autumn. There is nothing dramatic, it is a suspended chord, a soothing straight line, as if traversing the beach. A break in its linearity comes from softly woody, floral musks as the terpenes and the camphor eases. It sets a pellucid scene, a vista in fragrant form, stretched out and washing over. This is far from a typical Serge Lutens, but no less beautiful and compelling in its profound minimalism. Parole d'Eau would make a great palate cleanser for all that is complicated.

The Clean Boy Aesthetic
Fresh, citrusy, piney. Very bright and zesty at first. Moderate sillage – shouldn't bother anyone on the street or in a spacious indoor setting; but beware if you apply it and soon find yourself in a crowd or in packed public transit – there's a 50% chance whoever gets too close to your personal space will start violently sneezing on you. Not bad in a vacuum, but for its price – underwhelming.

Opened up as a delicious forest-like scent on my male partner. Zesty pine needles, crisp chilly air. A sip of gin tonic for good measure. On me? Toothpaste. Which technically does fit into a wider "morning essentials" aesthetic of Matin Lutens. But that's one expensive way to smell like toothpaste. Meh.

It mellowed out on both of us in about ~2 hours into a vague green masculine shower gel scent. In another ~2 it was gone entirely. Technically – everything was as advertised. But also boring and lacking as an experience. But hey, at least my set of 10ml miniature bottles is minimalistic and pretty! I'll find solace in that.

Spa vibe
Incroyable parfum qui me fait penser à l'odeur d'un spa marin. Frais, délassant, méditatif. Il porte en lui l'essence même du bien être.
Des vapeurs tièdes eucalyptus et citrusée qui émanent d'une eau légèrement saline mais pas marine. Une beauté !
Tenue légère, mais on lui pardonne.
Je ne ressens au moins pas de bous ambrés, tant mieux !

For the Last Time
The last gasp of summer fades away,
the last days were surrounded by warmth and humidity,
once again all citrus scents sprayed high and low,
and yet only the longing for autumnal fragrances is created.

A few days ago, I ordered my last test candidate,
Parole d'eau recommended for people who like a natural scent,
a fragrance that leans towards the expanses of seas and forests,
so I eagerly awaited the delivery.

Parole d'eau - the words of water unfold pleasantly fine,
the late summer sun dries the needles of the felled wood sensitively pure,
fresh, fruity citrus peels paint pictures of past travels like a glowing sheen,
minty, fresh eucalyptus notes play tactfully into this scene of water and forest.

A long workday is coming to an end,
the strains and humidity of the day begin to slowly ease,
the evening has become cooler and invigorating again,
for the last time, familiar notes unfold into almost sentimental scent chords.

A simple and yet unique smelling fragrance. A warm/hot weather, dumb reach, fragrance. Smells out the shower clean then it does a perfume.

Bring the sauna home!
Sauna infusion with eucalyptus and pine is refreshing.
Be good and rinse off with Calone!
Nice, but to smell like that afterwards? *

A very consistent, green fresh, light resinous scent: Zirbel is not as aromatic as usual here, strict and clear due to eucalyptus.

Somehow it has something, and I would have never guessed the listed notes. It starts off zesty fresh, then becomes subtly floral for me...

Could also be a cheap designer.
Starts citrus-menthol-green (eucalyptus) & drifts into synthetic shower gel territory. Similar to

Transparent freshness blend of airy aldehydes & citrus - lightly green base on powdery musk.
Invigorating like splashes of water on your face.

Summer forest hike. We refresh ourselves with spring water by the cool stream, suck on menthol drops, sing, and cheerfully continue on...
