desired freshness after a long dry period
It's raining: the sun is still shining lightly, hardly a breeze can be felt - the rain falls quietly and balsamic on the already much too dry ground.
That's the current situation that night in this town.
Granted: the exact opposite of what "Un Matin d'Orage" by Annick Goutal conveys.

The morning captured there after an eagerly awaited thunderstorm, greeted by a first somewhat heavy, slightly musty scent.
Always a hint to gardenias - we both have to be very careful with each other.
These gardenias probably stand on well soaked earth, which can unfold its heavy smell wastefully: finally the eternal dust, owed to the long drought period, has disappeared - everything is like freshly washed!
The slightly brown petals, blown down by the nightly thunderstorm, already show signs of decay. This further enhances the moist earthy nuance.
The freshness of the lemon, mixed with spicy ginger, bizzelt a bit in my nose. By my pronounced pepper allergy a fragrant challenge, which is however by the innocence of the pale, waxy, so delicately fragrant Magnolienblüten fortunately steamed and so more spicy than unpleasantly provocative appears.
A very unusual fragrance composition: well captured in very early morning hours of a southern summer.
Jasmin-Sambac reflects the illusion of the tired hanging, by the rain even heavier dirty-white flower panicles.

"Un Matin d'Orage" is an idiosyncratic fragrance that describes and awakens indefinite and yet very special moods:
The still innocent and yet already warming sun, which after a thunderstorm night with its rainfalls presents the world cleanly washed and shining.
Perhaps this soft glow is what makes this fragrance so magical: you have to be ready to give in to it, to listen to its soft whispers and whispers.
"Un Matin d'Orage" for me carries the hope of light and sun after dark, stormy hours.
That makes this fragrance a little special for me: not demanding or extremely high quality!
But spreading a pleasant peace, which every new beginning needs to develop, blossom and possibly also produce fruits/successes
Sillage and durability correspond to a genuine Annick Goutal fragrance. Those who know them can live with them well. They are well suited to be revitalized by spraying again without unpleasant background noises.

Why do I now remember Mozart's Magic Flute: "The rays of the sun drive away the night!"?
Maybe "Un Matin d'Orange" has these words in it... who knows?

mushroom floral
Gardenia, like lily-of-the-valley, needs to be built from the ground up in perfumery. As fragrant as the flower is, it doesn’t yield a gardenia essential oil. Building a flower that combines elements of green, creamy, and umami is hard enough. Then to make it dewy should be a nightmare. Maybe it was for Isabel Doyen. But we don't see the sweat, just the smooth end product

Un Matin d’Orage does smell a bit like a gardenia, just enough to make the allusion. This isn't a gardenia soliflor by any means. The success is not just in the likeness to the scent but in the odd balance of forcefulness and frailty the gardenia flower suggests.

Using the ghost-gardenia as a launching pad, the image of a forest floor at dawn actually comes true. Because the gardenia's scent suggests both soil and plant it is the ideal basis for this olfactory image. The watery notes have an ambient feel: misty, dewy, even muddy. Very nice work.

I found an unlikely kindred spirit to Matin d'Orage in PG's Psychotrope. Matin's sweet-forest has a water-color version of Parfumerie Generale Psychotrope’s electric Jolly Rancher & leather accord. Both perfumes leave me with a very clear olfactory memory. I can call both of them to mind very easily.

Dewy gardenia
Un Matin d'Orage is one of those really feminine and dewy white floral scents. It reminds me a little of Kai, however this fragrance is much lighter and more green.

This fragrance is most likely going to appeal to those that enjoyed Songes and Le Jasmin. The dominant gardenia note, while crisp in the opening, especially when alongside the citrus, becomes creamier and buttery towards the heart.

The gardenia and the other floral accords in this composition, smell very naturalistic. One can imagine an exact replicate of this scent in a luscious, Spring garden.

Un Matin d'Orage can sometimes be a little too one-dimensional, especially since it doesn't develop too well. The lasting power is also very fleeting which is another slight disappointment.

In the drydown, it becomes increasingly soapy. Not to an extent that it's unlikable, however it does resemble a somewhat generic bar of sweet gardenia soap.

While I do honestly like this fragrance, I would have aimed to improve it by making it longer lasting and perhaps more green.

Gargantuan Woody Gardenia
Annick Goutal UN MATIN D'ORAGE is, to my nose, essentially a gargantuan gardenia (GG) perfume with a few twists and turns thrown in for good measure, but the gardenia note is rather strong, so be prepared. I see that gardenia is not listed as a note, but are not gardenia notes always constructed?

I believe that champaca and magnolia are substituting for what is often tuberose, but jasmine, another key note in big white florals, is present here as well. The spiciness imparted by the champaca is a nice touch, and there definitely are some notable green and woody elements moderating the gardenia as well, especially moving toward and in the drydown.

From the name, I think that I may have been expecting something along the lines of something in the Hermes UN JARDIN... series, but UN MATIN is a very, very feminine fragrance, as I should have been able to guess by now from my earlier AG experiences...

I like this slightly oriental, slightly green and woody, big gardenia composition and recommend it for gardenia lovers as an alternative to MARC JACOBS or KAI. UN MATIN D'ORAGE is spicier and more complex than both, with big sillage and excellent longevity on my skin.

Une Fleur du Mal
To me, this smells nothing like a stormy morning but a bouquet of lilies in a closed room; sickly sweet, oppressive and borderline nauseating.
It’s shallow, insincere ... sentimental in the worst possible way.
If I met a matron wearing this I would be instantly on my guard.
(By the way, I should say, I hate lily perfumes and anything that contains Lilial : Butylphenyl Methylpropional, it -literally- makes my toes cringe.)

Strange how the list of notes here doesn't show gardenia, when this fragrance is all about the gardenia.
