Absolue Pour le Matin

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.

This perfume gives me energy and makes me feel relaxed at the same time, probably because of the sharp citrusy and strong lavender notes. It was my favourite for several months because it literally made me feel better! I'm not such a fan of the strong powdery notes, I understand the comparisons with Nivea because of these notes. One of my favourites from MFK.

Francis knows how to do beautiful clean fragrances. I get the criticism read on the comments, but, like Amouage or Initio, you have to try on skin and feel the dry down. Sampling on blotters does absolutely nothing for you. This is absolutely beautiful, innofensive and unisex. The name couldn't be better. A perfect wear for early morning.

Adorable scent. I can feel the lavender very strong in the opening, soon it followes by powdery iris, lemon and musk. Very soft and airy at the same time. It`s like wearing a silk blouse and minimum makeup and looking stunning and bright at the same time.

Of all the fresh citrusy fragrances of MFK (Cologne pour le Matin, Petit Matin, Aqua Universalis, Aqua Universalis Forte), this is the one I like the most. Very easy to wear, uplifting, bright, and present (without being heavy). Summer days, 20+

this opens up sharp and herbal with all the citruses and lavender. an hour later softens up with all the floral notes, before dries down into creamy and spicy nuances. try it and u might be pleasantly surprised. lasts all day too

A beautiful powdery-citrusy scent. Calm, clean and comforting. On my skin very long lasting, the sillage is quite poor. Perfect for holiday or in the office. I do suspect, it works well everywhere. 8/10

nice - very nice - always childhood memory for me - (always was a beiersdorf nivea baby..) honestly - hands up - who really gets the thyme nootes here!?!??!?!?! :-) cordial

reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche White, pure, powdery, fresh, lemony. Also may remind some of white almond frangrances like L'eau D'Hiver

Nivea. Soothing, comforting, clean.

Absolue Pour Le Matin shares a similar thyme accord with Cologne Pour Le Matin, but the proportion of other notes are rearranged. It still opens with tart, aromatic citrus and herbs, but the lemon has a much lower volume, while the lavender is much stronger with its metallic sheen than in Cologne Pour Le Matin. Although there's occasionally a grassy nuance, the overall effect is still much sharper, almost disinfectant-like. 20 minutes later, the iris and violet step in. The iris is more creamy and pillowy than rooty, and its woody undertone also makes a bridge with neroli. The violet here is short of its sweet, herbal nuance, but appears extremely clean and almost white, with a fine-grained powdery texture, as if the violet is bleached. These clean, pillowy, pale purple duo manage to soften the previous sharpness while maintaining the overall weightlessness of the composition. But at the same time, they also render the aromatic herbs and citrus more muted and less invigorating. Since I enjoyed the vivd thyme in Cologne Pour Le Matin, my feelings towards this phase is conflicted. Fortunately, while the citrus and thyme fade into background, green neroli and fragrant, almost metallic lavender restore the tonic, aromatics freshness. Absolue Pour Le Matin is now an elegant interlock of neroli, lavender, iris and violet, exuding a pure, clean and serene aura. Absolue Pour Le Matin doesn't change dramatically afterwards. It only becomes softer and rounder, with a violet-candy nuance occasionally popping up. The sillage is mostly close to skin, and the longevity is a bit more than 6 hours. I enjoy the pure, refined dry down of Absolue Pour Le Matin, but the disinfectant sharpness of the opening is not my cup of tea. While I usually love iris and violet in fragrances, here they appear too clean for my personal taste, although I must stress they're absolutely harmonious with the composition. If you happen to be looking for a fresh, transparent fragrance with traditional cologne elements, but would like a more refined, serene, muted atmosphere instead of vivid and invigorating mood, I think Absolue Pour Le Matin is well worth a a try.

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 find Absolue Pour le Matin to be a very nice lemony, herbal, soapy scent with a powdery accord gently encompassing this fragrance. I like it but I don't love it because--although a gentleman could pull this one off--to me, it's a much more feminine scent. Having said the aforementioned, I feel that it's fair to say that I would love to smell this scent on les femmes. Performance is a pretty good for a Spring/Summer citrus scent on my skin; it lasted a solid 6-7 hours and projected slightly above average...and very well for the first 2-hours before settling down. If this were a woman's perfume I would be apt to give it a love. However, being that it's unisex (and with no masculine qualities) I'm giving it a like. It is definitely a very nice quality Summer-Citrus scent the ladies need to check-out.

Very lovely opening - a soft floral/citrus quality that feels like an enhanced classic eau de cologne. Very balanced with iris and subtle violet lending a creamy/powdery refinement and neroli lending woody warmth Into dry down the herbal notes are more apparent, and thyme gives a richly astringent leafy undertone, though it's still smoothed with the creamy floral facets. Beautifully balanced, I'd spray this on first thing in the morning, but re-apply in the evening quite happily, though the feeling of Absolue pour Matin is quite informal, it's still elegant, and lasting Very likable! It could be up there with Infusion d'Iris as one of my most easily wearable day-time perfumes, the only issue is that it costs twice as much! I'd also say it's more unisex than Infusion d'Iris

Absole Pour le Matin is bright and airy, but as a couple of other folks have noted, for me, longevity is low and sillage is weak to moderate at best. Now, it is a summer daytime scent, so I would hope it is not too strong in terms of sillage, but because of the poor longevity, I could not recommend it as a buy. I am a fan of the MFK line, but there are far more interesting ones. In fact, I prefer the "cologne" version, Cologne Pour le Matin because sillage and longevity are much better without being too fierce. I also find the cologne has a bit more character. I too do not get the thyme smell with this one.

The opening smells like sticking your nose into a cosmetics bag, filled with everything: lipsticks, mascara, eyebrow pencils.. you know, the whole smell! That mixed with zesty fizzy lemons, like lemon drizzle cake. Then the quick to appear dry-down it's actually quite simlar to Xerjoff's Renaissance 1861 - if you already have that, you won't need this, if you don't have that and prefer a lighter lemon variation, perhaps this is your choice. I love 1861 (took me a few tries before I "got it") so I wouldn't buy this MFK, depsite loving MFK overall. ** Ah, and yes - it smells of hand cream on initial blast

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.

Wow! Generally the "this perfume reminds me of" function here on Fragrantica is total BS. But this does smell nearly identical to Prada Infusion d'Homme. Nice and clean. Expensive soap. Very pleasent. You may not be a fan of it, but i don't think anyone can possibly hate the way this smells. A good 4-6 hours of mild projection. Then becomes a nice skin scent after that time. Not worth the money at all.

Burst of citrus followed by powdery lavender and violet flower. Very slight peppery note I believe comes from the inclusion of white thyme. As with many of Kurkjdian's unisex fragrances, this one leans more on the feminine side. Bright, jovial, and warmed by the morning sun. As this is an eau de parfum, there is a clear difference in sillage and longevity in comparison to Cologne pour la Matin. (14)

Soapy, minty lemon cough drop mixed with some kind of flower...lemon dies off turning really semi-sweet? floral....very rich, natural...lemon back on full time but its mixed perfectly with the flowers...the lemon in this reminds me of the lemon and oakmoss in Eau Sauvage...deeper into the heart and it now reminds me of a very high quality cologne. Interesting...
