What does Petit Matin smell like?

Calabrian lemon and Provençal lavender bring coolness and a clean feel. Orange blossom and hawthorn carry the floral side, while litsea cubeba keeps the citrus lively. Musk and ambroxan leave a soft, creamy base underneath, and the synthetic accord gives the scent a bright, smooth finish.

Voters rate its longevity as good and its sillage as moderate. Most pick summer and spring, with autumn and winter far behind. Daily wear, leisure and work are the leading occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine sit close together, so it sits comfortably on either side. Alexandria Fragrances Sunday Morning and The Dua Brand A Dua Sunrise have a close profile.
