Maison Francis Kurkdjian Petit Matin

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on hawthorn and italian lemon, moves through hawthorn, lavender and orange blossom, and settles on musk.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• orange blossom: the flower of the orange tree rather than the fruit: sweet, honeyed and a little green

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
