This is seriously the first perfume that draws my attention after...a decade!!!

I was amazed.It made me think of the imaginary"nights in napoli"scent, mentioned in the book"The perfume"...

I strongly sensed a peach note,nowhere to be found above. I guess it's one of the exotic floral notes that includes the fruity aura.Ah...

An asian-culture admirer like me was only even more astonished to find that the perfumer's intention was to create the sensation of a japanese garden after a rain. (I think I'm gonna cry...)
I want it.I'll save money to get it.Period.

On me, this is gardenia and jasmine from start to finish. I also get a soapy base with this one. Gardenia and jasmine can be harsh if not well formulated; Un Matin d'Orage is a pleasant exception. This is a nice, white shirt fragrance - crisp, clean.

When you smell Un Matin d'Orage you quickly guess it's Goutal, if you ever smelled Goutals feminine fragrances like Petite Cherie or Songes.

Opening note is bright, sweet floral. Like tree after bad weather, when it's all sunny and flowers smell divine and more intense than in average good weather.

Sharp, green note is present in parallel - I can smell citrus (lemon) too accompanying it. This though doesn't spoil the florals but adds extra mood.

One other special thing about it is that 10 or 20 minutes after application you can smell Nuphar water lily.

Have you ever been on a boat sailing down your local river? Or just took a walk by the river? There you can find water lilies grow. Those yellow ones. I always wanted to pick those, because of their pleasant aroma. So this flower you can smell here in Un Matin d'Orage.

Lasting power is very good, projection as well - I sprayed 2 times and it's enough.

Sometimes perfume names are just something that marketing people come up with to get you to look at their product, sometimes they are perfectly descriptive. Un Matin D'Orage falls into the later category. It seduces with the soft wet smell of greenery after a morning rain.

This captures with absolute accuracy and poetry the feeling of spring. Un Matin D'Orage (Stormy Morning, loosely translated) is a light and lovely floral. Annick Goutal celebrates delicacy white flowers.

The only issue is the that it is not only ephemeral, it is also fleeting. The ingredients, while beautiful, lack lasting power.

This however, in spite of the lack of longevity may be the perfect spring fragrance.

I enjoy the opening of wet green leaves and citrus, followed by a melange of sweet white flowers. The drydown - a pretty, dry gardenia, and woods - tends to fade into nothing fairly quickly on me. Seems that it's got more lasting power if sprayed rather than dabbed. Lovely.

Yesterday I was testing Un Matin D'Orage. It opens with the bright note of gardenia flower,- it is fresh and sunny, and surely makes you wanna smile :) Then the scent of jasmine appears and grows stronger, making the composition more complex and non-linear. Interesting, as the time goes by I notice the light sweetness of mimosas in the middle notes though they are not in the pyramid.

It is a lovely fragrance for a sunny spring day, pity the base is very soapy on my skin. The staying power is good.
