What does Absolue Pour le Matin (2010) smell like?

Sicilian lemon and bergamot make up the bright side of the scent. Neroli and violet add a soft, slightly powdery floral note, while white thyme and lavender bring a green, spicy edge that keeps it dry and clean. The creamy accord rounds off the sharpness of the citrus.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with daily wear, leisure and the office leading the occasions. Feminine votes edge ahead on character, though masculine votes are close behind. Rochas Moustache Original 1949 and Acqua di Parma Note di Colonia I have a close profile.
