Absolue Pour le Matin Maison Francis Kurkdjian for women and men

A more natural smelling Infusion D'Iris. Very nice but not original and definitely not worth the price tag

it is a very clean lemon fizz type of opening i do get that..not sure i really enjoy though.someone commented that it smelled like wet hair or a right after a shower type, and that is exactly what i get from it, i don't think you would offend anyone but i was hoping for something a litte more, would definitely not purchase this for myself.excellent quality though, you do get that but just the scent itself was not very gratifying for me. really don't think it would do much for me on a woman as well, maybe for some and that makes the world go round. draw again..

The opening combo of lemon and thyme give off a fizzy lemon sherbert accord which seems to dominant all other notes. It is a accord I do not like and it lasts so I do not get a chance to appreciate the other notes.

@melia Dear, may all your wishes and hopes for a husband and kids come true as soon as possible!!! :) This fragrance is a true beauty. A fragrance which you may want to deeply inhale right after it has been sprayed.A very bright, romantic, peaceful smell. Very well balanced creamy, fresh, warm, familiar.BEAUTIFUL.

After sniffed this once at the shop and immediately have felt for it, I received a sample of this from the lovely Gorgonna in a swap.
Now I've noticed this goes better with my nose and chemistry on some days then other, probably according to what I ate lately. But today I'm feeling so connected with it!
It probably has been said earlier, but really smells like a big pot of Nivea-crème. It gives me such a nourishing, homey, white, light, comfortable feeling like a warm house with a wooden floor with floorheating and big windows. If I someday will have a husband, I'll definitely will be buying a big bottle of this and will put it somewhere in the house on a dressoir so we both can use it... And if there will be children even they could use it!
Sighh... You see what a perfume can do with your immagination?
Anyhow, to keep it punctual: it's a creamy musky citrussy (but not the sharp kind, and I really swear to smell some musk!) fragrance, good for any sexe, any age. The staying power is great (certainly 7 hours) and as far the sillage goes it's one of those 'waft' fragrances (those you smell once in a while through a waft of air). And it really doés evoke a 'morning' (matin) feeling. Love!

I have a sample spray from this and for me is quite a big(good) surprise. I must say that I am very surprised about the notes because after 10 min I can definately smell narcissus, don't know about the others, but on me this has huge lasting power and very good sillage. Must get a bottle...I'd say, if you love Infusion D'Iris, but you are unsatisfied about the lasting power, try Absolu pour le Matin, I am very much in love with this, perfect summer scent. In my opinion this can be used day and/or night.

I have recently started to "appreciate" the many fragrances on the market. However, I was on the look out for something distinctive and refined. I actually obtained a sample of Cologne Pour Le Matin and after finishing it, I wanted another. I was fortunate enough to go on a trip to Paris over New Years, and I made sure to stop by the Francis Kurkdjian boutique. I went in with full intention of purchasing Cologne Pour Le Matin. The saleswoman explained that Absolue is the eau de parfum version, more concentrated and longer lasting. She also insisted that I spray it on my skin and leave the store for about five minutes to let the scent settle as well as not be overcome by the other fragrances in the boutique. I detected a burst of lemon and something floral..I don't know if its the thyme, iris or violets in this fragrance, but for me it is intoxicating and lasts at least eight hours on my skin. Needless to say I purchased a bottle of Absolue Pour Le Matin. Throughout the day I periodically detect a wisp of the fragrance and catch myself smelling my shirt just to detect the scent again. I think it is quickly becoming my favorite. It is highly versatile and can be worn day or night in my opinion. As I left, the saleswoman dropped several samples in my bag....unknowingly, she made me a repeat customer. I highly recommend this scent...it's delicious....you can instantly tell it is a high quality product and not intended for the masses.

nice - very nice - always childhood memory for me - (always was a beiersdorf nivea baby..)


honestly - hands up - who really gets the thyme nootes here!?!??!?!?! :-)

A beautiful take on the cologne`s theme. Absolue Pour Le Matin just smells like a sunny morning starting. At first i get the fizzy lime effect of the lemon and the juicy, slightly medicinal, aroma of neroli and bergamot. I imagine that part of the medicinal, subtle canforated, aroma of the first moments may be due to the thyme. It seems like a white citrus blast at first, citrus sunshines maybe, that opens space for a creamy, soft flower base of iris and violets. I found myself reaching for my decant of this one when i do not want something that demands so much attention but that at the same time feels well-crafted and interesting. If you like soft citrus cologne fragrances with a creamy flower section, this one may please you.

First, there is a strong scent of lemon, and thyme. Within a few minutes I smell the iris, violet and the thyme intensifies. It lasts about 3 to 4 hours on me. It stays close to the skin with little to no silage. I obtained this as a sample and to me, it has no wow factor and I have no enthusiasm for it except to say it is an innocuous scent. By all means, test it and see how it does with your body chemistry.

The scent of lemon came through first; followed by the fragrance of a woman in the 1940's walking through a department store, which was nice. Kind of the scented lipsticks they used to make. Then it is completely ruined for me with a medicinal smell, something like the old Bayer's Baby Asprin scent.

(Disclaimer: I tend to judge FKs scents more enthusiastically because I'm quite certain he will read it, drop a line to thank me and offer to give me a fragrant kiss the next time he is in San Francisco...)

Alright... a new release from the world's sexiest nose. My comments remain the same: Maison FK gets it's inspiration from stepping out of the shower. This one smells like clean hair.

Iris and violet- nothing new, but what does FK do with it? I have to say this is not a typical citrus aromatic, it has a heavier opening (probably the neroli), and the citrus only lasts for about 30 minutes. After that it becomes a 'hanging on your clothes' fragrance, and is clean and fresh.

This is light, subtle and intimate. Very well done, and fun to wear. This won't offend anyone, it's so natural. Yes it's clean and pure, like Anne Hathoway before she decided to take Oscar seriously, but it is also interesting and refreshing. I enjoy all phases, there isn't a single complaint I can say except this: longevity. But I will try again to see if it lasts longer than 4 hours.
